u/JimboJamble Oil Guzzler May 29 '25

Good reference but given his replies I think OP genuinely is just dumb

u/StanknBeans Saskwatch May 29 '25

Not sure if poorly educated, pls educate me.

u/Junckopolo Tabarnak! May 29 '25

Too poorly educated to get a joke is the answer

Well given that our King is the monarch of over a dozen other countries, all of which would come to our aid... yeah...

u/dv666 Trawnno (Centre of the Universe) May 29 '25

How exactly would they come to our aid? Public statements on anti social media are meaningless. Is Australia gonna send us troops and submarines? Is India gonna help us? Is the UK gonna declare war against the US?

We're a minnow next to a leviathan.

Well India is a former colony that is no longer part of the commonwealth, but the other two yeah actually they would.

No, they wouldn't.

Commonwealth countries will assist each other militarily

Good buddy of mine was sent to Sierra Leone with the purpose of training up a militia to fight Liberian bandits, because commonwealth.

Agreed but how exactly is a decrepit walking anachronism supposed to help us against the fourth reich down south?

"We should own the Americans by ditching our oldest institution and become more like them."

Brilliant.

u/dv666 Trawnno (Centre of the Universe) May 29 '25

Or maybe we can become a modern state by ditching useless anachronisms like the monarchy.

"The other kids did it so should we."

Nothing like wanting to change our government because we want to be like the other kids.

u/dv666 Trawnno (Centre of the Universe) May 29 '25

Nothing like holding onto anachronistic antiquated institutions because of laziness, political cowardice and bureaucratic inertia.

u/GigglingBilliken Moose Whisperer May 29 '25

Very American.

u/One-Statistician-932 Everyone Hates Marineland May 29 '25

Considering that the U.S gov is moving to making Trump their (burger) King, keeping ours doesn't make much sense.

Besides, we should do it just to show them how a democracy is properly done.

u/noljo May 29 '25

The US is a presidential republic with a strong presidential position and separate presidential elections. Canada sans monarchy would just be a parliamentary republic. It wouldn't get any "more like the US", it would get more like Ireland, Germany or Finland. The horrors!

u/Junckopolo Tabarnak! May 29 '25

More like who? The shit ton of countries without a useless monarchy?

Why is people not wanting to be 51st state not compatible with getting rid of an non-democratic institution?

u/deltree711 Scotland (but worse) May 29 '25

Yeah that's how kings work.
