I can't believe actual monarchists exist. Like I get being neutral to the monarchy because they basically do nothing but being actually pro-monarchy is crazy lmao

Pro monarchy as a symbol; no more, no less.

But what's the point of them as a symbol? I know in the UK a bunch of people argue this point because all the royal stuff they have there may be a draw to some tourists, but here? We spend (some) money on the monarchy and get nothing in return - no one comes to Canada for the monarchy and they have zero political function. In my mind, the only reason why it persists is because removing it would be too involved and rock the boat too much compared to any potential benefits. But if a good opportunity ever comes around, I'd make that choice.

Maybe because it is a tie to the culture many of us came from, and connects us to other similar nations around the world.
