Seeing as I already have some royal blood, albeit rather thin and of the Welsh kind, I claim the crown of Kanada. It is time to get rid of the inbred British monarchy. If we must have a crown, it should belong to Kanadain inbreds, but we must start somewhere, so I volunteer.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUY6HGqYweQ/
King of Kanada sounds Krazy. Your take?

Equality of sex and equality of religion are core values of most Canadians
Are they? I have seen some people who undoubtedly consider themselves good Canadians advocate discrimination against Muslims on this website.
What is a "core value?" How widely must it be shared to be a "core value?" Does it need to be enshrined in the Charter or other fundamental documents to be a "core value?"
Well section 15 of our Charter of Rights and Freedoms states that
Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability.
A core value is a principle one holds dearly. It has ramifications in most decisions we take in life. As a nation, we have laws and principles that in theory, represent the core values of the majority.
I think if its part of a document as fundamental as the Charter of Rights it ought to be considered a core value of the country. That doesn't mean all citizens agree with it! Just look at the conflicts raised by language in Quebec!

"Imperial Nakusp." I like it!Where will you be setting up H.Q? I suppose if it was to be in Nakusp, you might be able to get some roadwork done, the entire section from Playmor Jct. through to Revelstoke could sure use it. -
I have the blood of English kings....also pretty damn thin. I suspect if everyone did their genealogy we would all find we are related to royalty of one sort or another. Good ole King Ethelred the somethingth.Seeing as I already have some royal blood, albeit rather thin and of the Welsh kind, I claim the crown of Kanada.

Britain hasn't had a British monarch since James II.
Seems to me that the method used to choose a country's Head of State ought to represent this country's value system. Equality of sex and equality of religion are core values of most Canadians but this is not adequately portrayed by our adherence to British monarchy. There is a definite clash between our values and the monarchical system and while changing it might not be a priority (because there are so many other pressing concerns), to me this state of affairs can only represent a lack of maturity for Canada as a whole. I'll be a much prouder Canadian the day we manage to update our system into something that is in tune with our core values of equality.
Of course the sexist component of monarchy has now been scrapped but that was a decision taken by the British, not Canadians. With the current system, we simply follow the trends of a foreign country. Again... lack of maturity as a country.
(Long live King Cliffy!!!)

You haven't been over here in a while, have you? Road work was done about two years ago. This is motorcycle heaven as attested by over 100 thousand bikes coming to Nakusp annually.Where will you be setting up H.Q? I suppose if it was to be in Nakusp, you might be able to get some roadwork done, the entire section from Playmor Jct. through to Revelstoke could sure use it. -
That's not true.
The new legislation could only have become law only if ALL the sixteen nations of which Elizabeth II is Sovereign agreed to it, including Canada.
To say that Canada had no say in the matter is bonkers. Remember, she isn't only the monarch of Britain.
You have a very rose-coloured picture of Canadian values. If you read Eve Haque's book (Home :: Browse by subject :: Political Science :: Canadian Politics :: Political Culture ::) you'll see that 'Canadian values' are not as progressive as you think.
So what you're saying is that unless the British and all other Commonwealth nations agree to a change Canada wants, we are powerless to change the system
