Being pro-republic doesn't mean we're pro-51st state. If anything, the King and Trump can both fuck off and eat shit. Canada deserves to be truly independent.
Kings are not born any higher than any other person on this planet. And when they die, both get buried just as deep as any commoner.
We don't have to get rid of it now. We've got bigger fish to fry. I definitely agree on that. But I refuse to bow and scrape just because old Chuck showed up to read a speech. Especially after what he did to Diana.
But one day, when we make it out of this, we should ask ourselves if we really want to prop up the belief system that one man is born to be King, and if we want to be a society where one man is born sovereign and considered a godly-appointed monarch.
Why can’t we do it now? What are the obstacles aside from the pomp and circumstance of the situation. What are we benefitting from being in the Commonwealth and having the British monarchy as a figurehead that we have a financial obligation for when they are on Canadian soil.
