This is great news, and in time for Tartan Day on April 6!

It's about time but better late than never!

Good news indeed, and entirely expected. It's a handsome tartan.

HEY!!!...What about us Vermonters?? Yes, I know I'm in Texas but no matter where I go, I'm a displaced Vermonter! You know, Vermont maple syrup and all that....

Congratulations, Canada. Took almost thirty years, though, to officially recognise what the rest of us knew was the perfect choice.

It's a great day for Canada and tartan. Wow. Now I know how I'm going to dress for Canada Day!

Congrats to Canada. Now if only the U. S. would make a tartan official...

This creates a real problem. I've liked that tartan since I first saw it; very much to my taste. Now, do I remain happily married while admiring the tartan from afar? or do I become a homeless-but-very-attractive-in-my-new-kilt man? These are not easy decisions to make!
