Blair's sinister campaign to undermine the Queen

But you're the one that brought it up in reference to Zzarchov's post. It doesn't prove much of a point. He simply stated that the monarchy is relevant to a canadian forum. You brought anti-americanism into the equation. If you don't want to discuss anti-americanism, stop throwing around accusations that this whole forum thinks that way. You're baiting an argument on the issue, and getting what you're asking for doesn't prove a damn thing.
He implied I trolled for mentioning the monarchy is an antiquated institution. Are you having reading comprehension problems?
Since Karrie made a comment, I feel obliged to give detail to my reponse.
Thanks.
The US isn't the only country in the world with a Head of State, or haven't you noticed?
Unlike you? Real Power? You're clueless about the US political structure aren't you?
If you think the President has absolute power , what on earth do you think your Prime Minister has? VERY curious.
A President is a redunancy in your form of government, not ours. And please elaborate how by having a President increases the chance of a dictatorship.
So now expressing an opinion of an antiquated form of government is referred to as trolling. I'll keep that in mind.
Sure, let's implement Direct Democracy and ostracize anyone we don't like.
That's your personal opinion, mine is a monarchy is undemocratic, archaic and just plain silly in the 21st century. But then again you lose your monarch and you become more......uhm....American..eh? :roll:

Becoming American would be a fate worse than death for most Canadians. You obviously don't understand what a constitutional monarchy is.

[/SIZE][/SIZE][/FONT] [SIZE=-1][FONT=verdana,arial,helvetica] [FONT=verdana,arial,helvetica] Most of the stable and prosperous democracies in the world today are constitutional monarchies. On the other hand, most of the unstable countries in the contemporary world are republics, many of which have overthrown their monarchies. There is a sense of easy communication between monarchy and people, which politicians by nature are unable to develop. Canadians participate fully in their Queen's life; they are involved in her activities during home-comings and through the media. Many new Canadians readily identify with our Canadian Monarchy which is a living institution of the twentieth century, constantly changing and adapting to our modern way of life. Moreover, the colour and ceremony which surround the Monarchy attract the interest of Canadians, especially young people, in our process of government[/FONT][/FONT][/SIZE][/SIZE]
Then most Canadians are a biggoted lot.
EDIT: Let's put that phrase to the test, shall we?

WEll that makes us rather unique, don't you think? :smile:
Where did you get that tidbit from #juan? A pro monarchy site?
In the last few minutes you've told us our form of government is antiquated and silly and you've called us bigots. Sounds a bit like trolling to me.
In our defence, I guess we can say that Americans have shot five presidents while we have preferred to vote our PMs out of office whether they deserved to be shot or not. That certainly makes us sound more civilized.................I could be wrong...
PS....Of course I got that from a pro-monarchy site............where else???;-)
A poll designed to get the response you want? Somebody's eagle is flying upside-down. That's democracy inaction....

I expressed my opinion, is that still permitted on this site? As for the bigot comment, that is obviously what you are sir, a bigot. Only a bigot can make such a statement.
You're right of course, you prefer kidnapping your politicians and declaring Martial Law over it.
Of course, where else.
When someone makes such a comment, there is only one word that comes to mind. Bigot.
Don't participate, I imagine almost nobody will.
Archie Bunker will always exist. The living proof is in your manner of bearing. I asked you once and I am still curious.... Is your attitude representative of the whole United States in general? Of course, I got the standard evasive and accusing non-response I expected from someone who either doesn't like his authority challenged - or just can't come up with any reasonable answer.
Really, I can't let myself believe you are the voice of the masses for there is NO WAY I would want to go through life wearing blinders and being so ill-informed and closed-minded. IF that be the way ALL Americans think, it would be true that your foreign policy really is akin to date rape (in that you court - then TAKE - upon second thought by the victim) and it is no wonder your nation is so hated that enemies just pop up out of the sand to pick you off one by one.
Bigot? I'd suggest YOU look at a Websters.

Because such a question can only come from a bigot. To ask a question that lumps an entire population into one category, can only come from a bigot.
I can say the same about you, comrade.
"One who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ." - Thanks for the Vocabulary lesson.
Translation: You're finished.
You're trying to defend the indefensible. There is only way #juans comment can be interpreted. Playing with words won't make it go away. Then again, you appear to be part of his ilk, so its no wonder.
You replied simply to his post where he stated that it was an issue pertinent to Canadian Content actually. I tend to assume that when someone takes the time to quote another, THAT is the post they are referring to.
Translation: No point in continuing with this war of wits. It wouldn't be fair for me to allow an unarmed man to publicly humiliate himself further.
Case closed....

Actually, becoming American is what most Canadians do or strive for once they've reached the pinnacle of success in Canada.

Become American? Not in my case. I was born here. I've lived my life here. My kids and grandkids are here. My wife is buried here ... and I will die here. Sure, I have been beyond these borders many times - both for myself and for my country. To be permitted a Canadian version of the American Dream? That's more like it.
As a writer, there is no future for an unpublished author in Canada. I am not Pierre Burton or Margaret Attwod, nor do I have connections with their closed circle of friends. I did have some interest in one of my novels - and I sent the first three chapters to that interested party on Sept 7 2001. The disk was probably going through their mail slot about the same time an airplane was flying through the upper stories of their #2 WTC address. Ironically, 9-11 would have made "He Called me BABY KILLER!" a best-seller.
