Good, we should of cut ties when the queen passed. England is our friend and the closest thing to a fellow Canadian. But we should not reinforce ancient institutions that instituted residential schools. It costs us $59 million annually to reinforce the monarchy. It is time to evolve, England will always be our brother but this is a meaningless fee. Don't get me started on the money changes...

There's a whole group of elected MPs in the UK parliament who can't vote because they refuse to do this

These people have no idea what they're doing other than getting rid of the last checkpoint for neutral, informed government oversight. It's an institution the capitalist elite in Canada have been degrading for decades for it hinders their elitist plans. These individuals are clearly deep in the pockets of the traitors south of us, and want Canada to further drift from the commonwealth so that it has less bargaining power and will have to cave to every traitor demand.

If every single Canadian had to swear allegiance to the king when you become an adult (as opposed to just immigrants), we would not have a king.

Uppity losers who can't be part of a group shouldn't be in politics.
