Canadians say ties to monarchy should be cut when Queen dies
- Thread starter tay

The Queen let her thoughts on that out yet?? Course if they want to pay us to uphold that tradition I'm sure our new bankers can come up with some suitable arrangement and sanctuary is always open should she or or her relatives need it. Homesteading permits would be the only offer that prevents extradition for crimes back home.

There's a few pros and cons on the subject. One of the Pros I can think of is David Johnston. He is a person in my estimation who comports himself impeccably. Sometimes we have an obligation to make a showing in another country, and it's helpful to have a guy we can send down without fear of embarrassment.
I agree. It's an irresponsible waste of money keeping the monarchy on here. A quick check will give everyone a rough idea of the millions wasted by the GG's office.
This money would be better spent on health care, education, pensions, etc.
I thought that I posted this information here a year or so ago.

The Monarchist's League estimated 23 million, but that was 18 yrs ago. That didn't take into account all of the GG's office expenses, employees, etc. I recall over 100 million being bashed around.

No one can inherit power. Power must be siezed by power and held with power. It must be earned or it isn't.
And regularly tested to ensure it's veracity.
The spoiled get of some fat potentate should never rule.
Let them prove themselves in the jungle.

Seized as in opportunity, does the toad let a fly pass if he's not already stuffed? I'm not happy with the elected I want the victorious whoe's proven his/her ability to crush any opposition and grab the ring.
I don't want some trained suit occupying an office he/she hasn't bled for.

We should keep the monarchy once Liz retires on the condition that Britain send Will, Kate and the kids to live and well kind of reign in Canada. We can tear down Rideau Hall and build them a kickass modern castle and, because we would no longer need a GG, the Trudeaus could move into this digs. Win - win situation as I see it.
Certainly some power is inherited but not all. The recently departed Fidel is a prime example of how power can be seized.
