I saw something about this guy being in two out of three secret meetings, alerting some other guy, resulting in the monroe doctrine... anyone knows more about that? --Striver 12:35, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

I can't help you man, sorry about that...later. --Fuwikepedia (talk) 12:58, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Mention the corn laws please! "Corrected report of the speech delivered by the Right Hon. George Canning, in the House of Commons, March 1st, 1827, on the corn laws" Probably his most important achievement. Along with arguing against slavery. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.5.29.227 (talk) 19:30, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Admit the Rogue
When was the occasion when George IV reluctantly allowed him to be appointed to an office, and he said it was like being given a ticket to Almacks, inscribed "Admit the Rogue"? I thought it was when he rejoined the Cabinet in 1816 (when George was still Prince Regent) but maybe it was when he was appointed Governor-General of India, a job he never took up. The latter would make more sense as it was after the Queen Caroline business.Paulturtle (talk) 10:46, 9 September 2015 (UTC)


 * - only 8 years late! Rory Muir, Wellington 1814-1852, (a cracking read) has it in 1822, when Canning took the Foreign Office after Castlereagh’s death. KJP1 (talk) 12:35, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

Deuda Inglesa
George Canning, uno de los principales políticos británicos, [22] escribía en 1824: «El negocio está hecho: América hispánica es libre, y si nosotros no llevamos demasiado mal nuestros asuntos, ella será inglesa». Trece años más tarde, el cónsul inglés en el Plata, Woodbine Parish, describía a un gaucho de la pampa argentina de esta manera: «Tómense todas las piezas de su ropa examínese todo lo que lo rodea y exceptuando lo que sea de cuero, ¿qué cosa habrá que no sea inglesa? Si su mujer tiene una pollera, hay diez posibilidades contra una que sea manufactura de Manchester. La caldera u olla en que cocina, la taza de loza ordinaria en la que come, su cuchillo, sus espuelas, el freno, el poncho que lo cubre, todos son efectos llevados de Inglaterra» [23]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:586:4300:2210:AC78:E1FB:E292:F15F (talk) 20:52, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

This is much more appropriate image George Canning, Prime Minister of The United Kingdom.jpg. The old image is cropped from a painting that’s already being used in the article. Orson12345 (talk) 17:18, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
