Le Canada doit elire son chef d’etat
OUI!
vive la réplublique du canada and replublic of Canada
After Her Majesty passes away, if Charles becomes our head-of-state, if we don’t have this figured out by then; well, then, I’m fighting for it. I don’t care. Every day my country’s highest office is denied to its own citizenry, I feel worthless and inferior and seriously ripped off. I am ready and willing to take up arms in order to remove the monarchy.
I love and respect Queen Elizabeth II. I would never advocate her being dethroned, even in Canada. I don’t want to shake things up near the end of her reign, while an old woman. But after her? Enough is enough. We don’t need a king.
Join me. When Charles is crowned, the body politic will rise up. We will not stand for it.
Let us have a referendum! Don’t make us have a revolution.
To make changes in any country’ constitutional or political fabrics, we do not have to wait for anyone to pass away on the ground that we hurt someone’ feelings. The question on the referendum must be straightforward: Do you want a Canadian for head of state or not. If they complicate the questions adding too many misleading options, then they confuse the issue.
How may members belong to Republic Now. And would they be considered Republicans. (not that I would mind.)
Thank you
Like many Canadians I want to see Canada become a republic. It costs us over $50 million a year to support the GG his logins etc and ten lieutenants for all ten provinces. The GG is a Canadian however he represents the QUEEN not Canada. It also costs us millions when the royals come to visit. All this money could be spent on our soup kitchens an other social programs I am sick when new Canadians have to swear allegiance to the queen then Canada.What do we get in return? Nothing!
Did you know that around 1965 the queen signed an authorization for the invasion and take over of the small peaceful island nation of Diego Garcia forcing it’s inhabitants onto ships to be taken to Mauritius to live in poverty? The island was then leased out to the Americans as a military base for MONEY How cruel and greedy can you get! This is a crime against humanity. Shame on her! The argument put forth was that she had no choice. Bullshit! As a human being she could have refused. I have no respect for the queen and we should not be associated with criminals.The main factor however is National pride! Enough is enough! Time to get rid of this archaic useless costly greedy and cruel monarchy now. I wrote a letter to PM Trudeau recommending a referendum sending a copy to the GG hon October 3 2017 and still no reply. Recently he said he does not want to get rid of the monarchy. I am about to write to him again asking for the courtesy of a reply to my letter and letting him know he should bow to the will of the people. I am a member of the Citizens for a Canadian Republic .Go on line for all details about them. If you combined forces and ideas it would be a good thing.The queen said she would not interfere with Scotland if they chose to b a republic . Your comments and reply would be appreciated.
I remember seeing on TV some 35 years ago the queen flying in a helicopter with the door open and a serviceman holding a big machine gun pointed towards the land and its countrymen she was flying over. ..
Now they (their population) got to eat from the food banks!!
Aref
Well I do not love and respect anyone who commits CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY and the queen did just that! Go on line and see the movie STEALING A NATION! for all the evil details. Even dogs were killed in purpose! Children cried because of this too! SHAME on her! Time to get rid of this out dated useless costly greedy and heartless monarchy now! Write the P M and your M P today asking for a referendum since most Canadians want a republic! Join CITIZENS FOR A CANADIAN REPUBLIC or REPUBLIC NOW and get involved! Enough is enough!
As an immigrant to Canada, I can tell you that it is truly confusing to see the queen on our money. Time to say good-bye to the monarchy!!!
I was converting the money (the little of it) into US funds, not to see its face again!
You can also use American Express, VISA, and Mastercard for all your expenses and pay their bill once a month by check.
Most Canadians think it’s just symbolic and ceremonial. Examples of something that is symbolic are paintings and statues. If you have the queen on the back of all your money, your land is owned under The Crown, all your military emblems display the crown, and YOU REQUIRE ROYAL ASSENT(APPROVAL) FROM THE QUEEN TO ENACT ALL LAWS, then that is not merely symbolism and ceremony. Want to know what is merely symbolism at that point? The Canadian flag. Canada’s head of state is the queen of Britain, and it is a British state. The concept of a Canadian citizen is ceremonial.
Britain in its history is never a good country and unfortunately powerful since 1914. But her powers dwindles in 1945 where USA take place. And they built a commonwealth where we are included.and unfortunately the early British settlers are following their QUEEN. We immigrants here are ignorant of the truth about the British empire and we are included in the monarchy system that literally deprived us of our freedom and spiritual emancipation. If the people can start to work for a true constitution that will embody its people and GODALMMIGHTY. They took away this lands from the indigenous people. But maybe with the present setup we might be able to remove the queen to a real constitutional reforms
What purpose does the monarchy give us Canadians as citizens of this nation! We should be free to make our own decisions and not have to wait for a GG to sign a bill into law. We need to have a referendum now before Charles becomes King once and for all and rid ourselves of the Monarchy and the Metric system and become United Republic of Canada !
United Republic of Canada!
It’s time for Canada to move away from the British monarchy.
Yes it is about time!!
Just imagine this: where was this wealth derived from in the first place??
