Keep the Monarchy!

He's going to tell you how much he doesn't care. Because he really doesn't care.
Listening to the events in the middle east I heard them say that many want Egypt to become a parliamentary republic like Turkey, and I thought, that is how our political machinery works out to. Yet we call our system a constitutional monarchy, where the latter word is ceremonial and ultimately meaningless in 99.9% of the operation of our govt. Every country has a constitution, even North Korea and Burma.
The monarchy or crown, both concepts in Canada really allows the executive to have excessive power over parliament, and that is important because we elect MPs, not the cabinet or the PM. It creates a level of confusion in our system that allows elites to call a corporation a legal person on a level with a natural person like us.

Some people care very deeply:
Home?The Monarchist League of Canada
At one time wealthy Canadians used to raise armies on behalf of the crown:

Many wealthy powerful Canadians remain dedicated loyalists. Mess with them at your peril!
I remember that incident. I was watching the game when the CBC cut away to watch "news". The Queen's plane was sitting on a tarmac somewhere and the door was about to open. For 20 minutes the CBC broadcast an image of the Queen's plane live, doing nothing before the door finally opened and something happened.
Dave Hodge was right to be disgusted, but he pissed off powerful people who care about the Queen more than hockey and as a result lost his job.
I think, if the same situation arose today, they would cut away, show the plane landing, go back to the
game, and cut away again when the door opened, or more likely, now that there are so many different channels for
both events to be shown, they would accomodate both events without pissing anyone off, and yes, I
remember that situation too, but hodge is still working in hockey, as good as ever, and i'm sure he
is happy 'not' to have to be sidekick to don cherry, lol.
Nutty left-wing intellectuals, Feminists and Lesbians of the world unite!
Which summarizes a lot of things in our society... a small marginal minority exerting their influence over societal policies. The Swiss just had their gun vote and 9/10 voted against; unfortunately, Canadians never had a vote on immigration, same-sex marriage, gun registry...
Best not let the "Petite bourgeois" have a say in these things and keep them distracted with pornography, kokanee and lady gaga.
I forgot why he flipped his pencil. But he had a good reason. Dump the monarchy like a bad penny.
Beware the alternatives!!!!

its too bad as the generations change, and time moves on, the 'i don't care' stuff seems to slide into
focus, forgetting the past is a lazy way to go thru life.
I was born here, not anywhere else, so my canadian heitage is strong, and my memory of the past is
clear, and why we are free canadians is also clear, so now we should throw out our heritage and
forget the part they played to make us who we are today, no way
We are independent, no one is interferring with out ability to make our own decisions in government, but
we don't have to spit in the face of the reason 'we are who we are', lets respect the past, treasure
the past, and move on.
I don't erase my great grandparents from my past, I wouldn't be here if it weren't for them.

Thats not the way it works. As Canadians we are free to have any opinions we want when it comes to how the country should be. My family has been here for 400 years.
Hereditary monarchy makes no sense and should be abolished. Getting rid of it in the present doesnt erase what happened in the past. Hell, even in the past it made no sense to have monarchs. Im hoping we get rid of it in my lifetime.
Want a royal a$$ to kiss move to England. We were born here. It is our country, not some self appointed foreigner
and my family on the French side has been here over 400 years and the Native side...well...a fu ck of a lot longer than that. Still doesn't change the fact of what Canada is and has always been. If some useless separatist wants to try and change that, he can kiss my ass on HIS/HER way out the door.
Shows how little you know, and how stupid you truly are.
It would be tempting to use the quality of your debating skills as an example of how monarchists are poor thinkers. But that would be dishonest on my part and unfair to smart and respectful monarchists.
I don't need to be respectful to separatists. As far as I am comcerned they are worth no more than dog shyte under my shoes and they are worth about the same amount of respect as aforementioned shyte.
