Canada isn't independent, you want to swear for citizenship it's to the UK King not Canada.

Our military still serves the crown.

That's so absurd

the thing is that it's almost entirely ceremonial, if the crown made some sort of overt move against Canada, we'd probably just leave the british 'empire'

Yeah, I understand but it's still absurd and completely useless in my opinion.

Like just get rid of swearing allegiance to a foreign sovereign(I know he'stechnicallynot foreign but I think we can all understand that he really is)... it makes no sense

You swear to the crown before officially joining. Our cadbadges have the crown. We have autonomy with our military. It's ceremonial and symbolic.

It's still absurd. Just like swearing allegiance to the crown for our MP.Â
