There will be a Canadian Republic Party one day
- Thread starter Adriatik
- Start date
I cannot believe the vicious, treasonous, language being spoken about her majesty in this thread!!!
I don’t agree withalleywayzalwayz here, the Queen is just a human being, same as everybody else. If somebody wants to criticize the Queen, so be it, I don’t see a problem here.
Vicious language? Big deal, the Queen is a big girl; she can take care of herself. Treasonous? Surely you jest. What is treasonous about criticizing the Queen? That is on par with far right in USA claiming that anybody who criticizes Bush is guilty of treason and should be tried for treason.
So I don’t have the passionate feelings about the Queen that alleywayzalwayz does. My support for the monarchy is out of sheer inertia, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

You know, there well may be a Canadian Republic Party someday.......and it will last for exactly as long as it takes for the inevitable klabel of "the Republicans" to land on it.
About 30 seconds.
Good thing too.

Thank you for advertising my profile.
I really don't care if people criticize the queen. Free speech trumps her any day. Sticking up for her and calling her criticizers traitors is just my way of saying that I like the monarch.
Okay?
Don't you get it? I don't care about the Queen, I never swore allegience to her neither, and I do not recognize her as head of state. Call me a traitor until your face turns red... I couldn't care less. See the beauty with freedom of speech is that I don't have to care what people think and especially what her majesty thinks.
Also, you are going besides the point, I never said we will elect a "King of Canada"... I said there will NOT be any monarchy because monarchy is anti-democratic. We will elect a normal person to be president as head of state.
Also, we as a country would be able to survive without a useless monarchy. If you have no faith in the freedom of Canadians and our strength, I have to say that you are the traitor...
Ye and that party will have Bush running it or Palin, also believing that God is a Con... :roll:
Adriatik, good day to you, I agree with you on the monarchy, all they are a bunch of opportunistic blood suckers...The monarchy has a phony roll of existence....
The are not helping the poor, all the care about is to have an infrastructure that the common man does not have, they are self serving snobs:angryfire:..
LOL, soc, I almost agreed with you until I realized you were talking about the monarchy and not the liberal party!
Ye and that party will have Bush running it or Palin, also believing that God is a Con..
Socrates, of course God is a conservative. He is a conservative Republican (in Canada, he belongs to the former Reform or Alliance Party), and probably also a white male.

I agree. It won't be so much a party, as they may have a referendum at some stage on whether monarchy should be abolished. If there is such a referendum, as of now, I would vote against it.
I would vote 'no' in the referendum , would vote to keep the monarchy (if it ain't broke, don't fix it).
Ouch, that hurts dude.....
ok, I've changed my mind. Canada should be a republic.
How should we get started? You want me to write up some pamphlets? Or perhaps a manifesto would be in order first?
:smile:
I think a Republican party would be good as long as they advocate the use of a republic, but had a liberal/socialist point of view. There is no way Canada can get rid of M. Tommy Douglas's gift to Canada (medicare), unemployment insurance, or the Canadian pension plan. These are so important that I would walk over glass for them if I had to.
I agree with you. I also think there should be a liberal/social democratic mentality. The social programs you mentioned are very important to the people of this country and should definitely be preserved. There's no reason to fall in the darkness of a right-wing system. Believe it or not though, the government Canadians just elected has that right-wing mentality and plans to give big breaks to companies instead of the working class and the poor.
That disgusts me.
We need to do as the NDP platform calls for and raise corporate taxes back to 22.12% and then give all the tax breaks that we give to big businesses to small businesses that need it the most.
