Why would we want to keep the Monarchy? Well, although the Queen doesn't actually reign over the Government of Canada the Monarchy is a strong connection to our heritage as Canadian's. While there are revisionists who will want to erase Canada's connection to its British roots it is best that we maintain an interest in where we came from. Let us not forget the soldiers who fouight and died at the Somme, Ypres, Vimy Ridge. Canada's heritage is not completely spotless, but it seems there are those who would suppress our achievements while dwelling on the past.
The hard line separtists' in Quebec seem all too willing to have us abandon our English heritage while crying that theirs should be defended with Language Laws and censorship. Those who think that it will save money for us to DUMP THE MONARCHY are living in a bubble. The cost of doing so will result in a complete overhaul of our military and police forces uniforms, rank structures, isignia's, code of arms. Forget the renaming of The Queen Elizabeth Way, but the removal of the Garter crests bearing ER will be huge cost. Then of course our currency which is stamped with the Queens picture on everything from coin, to bill, to stamp.
Oh and let us not forget our parliamentary system which would have to be revamped, because it's based on the British System and the Governor General of course will have to go.
Will we adopt the US system with a Senate and a Congress? Did I just hear a vein pop in Gerryh's head?
From where I stand we should just keep them. Getting rid of them in a costly endeavor and the way I see it Harry is going to be an awesome King's Brother.
