All this anti-monarchy talk borders on treachery and treason. There's lots of room in the Tower! :argue2:

^ Lol.

Slavery was a way of life for hundreds of years, and it was abolished, and the same should happen to the monarchy. Just like with slavery, nobody should be better than anyone else, just because of who their parents are.

Lots of things I'd rather get rid of before the Monarch, membership to the UN, Justin Trudeau, our ridiculous firearm laws, income taxes, etc. It's a long list.

Complain all you like but there is probably a better chance of Quebec and Alberta separating from Canada than there is of us getting rid of the Monarchy .

It has no real bearing on our day to day lives in a negative way. Gov't wastes money on everything anyhow. They are tearing down statues and burning churches, so maybe keeping a key part of our history isn't such a bad thing. I'm not a fan of Charles, but I think the Prince and Princess will be wonderful when it's their time. Leave the monarchy as is.

Ahh let It buck, all part of the heritage of developing this nation, some good, some bad but that’s all part of growing as a nation, yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Gov't waste- bad. Gov't celebrity worship that contributes nothing positive to our daily lives- good. No judgement passed, I was just hoping for some insight. |

At this time, we still have a Governor General who could theoretically say no, at the behest of the Monarch, if the sitting gov't of the day tries to pass laws that would gravely rob Canadians of democratically passed freedoms, and turn parliament into more of a laughingstock than it already is. Safeguards are important. You may not have liked it, but Mike Pence having the power to approve the electors' votes in Congress, despite the rage from Trump, likely saved a crisis the likes of which no western democracy has seen, and that would have sent seismic waves throughout the world. Pandora's box is real. Safeguards are important. Just my two cents. |

Kate Middleton Accepts Flowers from an Enchanted 4-Year-Old in Wales — and Seems Just as Charmed! I'll give you the rundown. The prince and princess accept flowers from some brainwashed kids telling them "thanks, we deserve your accolades and worship because we're special by birth and/or marriage, no real qualifications necessary." I should add Kate was wearing a beautiful red coat that was worth more than it would take to send 4 of those kids to college, and you guessed it, paid for by taxpayers dollars. |
Is Canada still giving money to England?
According to the League, Canadians shelled out $58,749,485.52 in 2019-2020 for the crown, although this is apparently a 5.95% decrease from the last survey. While that sounds like an eye-watering amount, the League says it works out to be approximately $1.55 per individual Canadian. Of this amount, it's the governor general's office that costs the most at $1.27 per person, per year. Lieutenant governors and their offices to the queen cost an additional $0.27 per capita. Your $1.55 per year would be more useful where? If you think that getting rid of the Monarchy would in some way benefit you financially as a tax payer I have some ocean view property I would like to sell you out here in Stony Plain. 58 million a year wouldnt even cover a whimsical Trudeau giveaway for his idea of the week .. Also if you know anything at all about how Ottawa works you would figure out that they can surely spend more than that per year on the “presidents” wants and needs |

I also love seeing how 58 million is all of a sudden chump change and not a big deal when the narrative fits your viewpoint. Spin it around, throw in Trudeau and Ottawa,.. yada yada, etc.. argument made. God save the King. |

Further, how long would it take for woke provincial governments to totally rewrite history? Not long. If you don't believe me, find a teacher to take you to an ATA meeting. You will see in a hurry. |

Ask yourself this. What government in the near (or far) future is going to want to open up the constitution and basically re write it to accomplish this monumental task I don’t see it happening but maybe write Justin a note and ask him , he will probably get right on it. |

The monarchy is nothing more than a waste of money in my books. Is there worse things our government wastes money on you bet but that doesn’t justify it
I just don’t see a benefit to the monarchy There is definitely bigger issues that I would like to see change that are much higher on the list |
The only thing rhat would be good about Aboloshing the monarchy would be opening the constitution. Providing we have the right guys in power we could level the playing field once that happens.
