Naysaspace 01/23/22 10:49:41 PM #5:	No If people actually paid attention in grade 10 civics class they would know that it's far too cost-prohibitive to leave the monarchy. And it's not just "re-print our money", our entire legal system is based on british commonwealth law. We'd have to wipe the slate of case law which will not only further clog up an already congested courts system, but create utter chaos by not being able to cite case law for decisions. Most of our legal code would need to be re-written or edited. --- #BladeGang <cite>Naysaspace posted [p:962022856] in Do you thi...

Naysaspace 01/23/22 10:52:37 PM #6:	i do believe the position of governer general (basically the british crown's representative to canadian parliament) should be abolished. The last few have been corrupt AF, which came to a head with the most recent one being an absolute tyrant and overtly breaking employment law with her antics. The GG has not made any meaningful decisions in this country in decades. --- #BladeGang <cite>Naysaspace posted [p:962022924] in Do you thi...

Atralis 01/23/22 10:52:45 PM #7:	Probably soon after the current queen dies. Nothing against Charles at this point but the whole monarchy is built on nostalgia. The Queen has been queen for 69 years. A single digit % remembers a time before she was queen. <cite>Atralis posted [p:962022926] in Do you thi... [t:79867027]...</cite> <quote> Probably soon after the current queen dies.

StarDestroyer 01/23/22 11:36:11 PM #12:	You can still be a part of the commonwealth without having Queen Elizabeth II as your head of state. To get rid of the monarchy would require a constitutional change and as doom_art pointed out, Canada has no appetite for that. <cite>StarDestroyer posted [p:962023907] in Do you thi...

geno_16 01/24/22 12:27:34 AM #15:	It'll almost certainly never happen. No one up here wants an American-style republic and abolishing the monarchy to establish a parliamentary republic like Germany would pretty much change nothing so there'd be no point. <cite>geno_16 posted [p:962024855] in Do you thi...
