Michael McAteer on This Hour Has 22 Minutes,

Posted on March 16, 2015March 27, 2015 by Republican Canadian

UPDATE: to date, This House Has 22 Minutes has NOT aired this segment.

Michael McAteer, a founding member of Republic Now/ République du Canada and a Director on its Board, will appear in an interview to be aired on the CBC television program, This Hour Has 22 Minutes, on Tuesday, March 17, 8:30 pm. EDT. The interview will be concerned with Michael’s participation, as one of three litigants, in the legal challenge of the requirement that new Canadians swear an oath of allegiance and faithfulness to the Queen and her heirs and successors. In accordance with his principles, Michael has not become a Canadian citizen because of the oath. This principled stand was also taken by the late Charles Roach, another founding member of Republic Now/ République du Canada and the initiator of the legal challenge.

It may be helpful to keep in mind when watching the show, that This Hour Has 22 Minutes is satirical in nature.

Kind regards,
Ashok Charles

President

A Canadian Head of State

When Canada takes control of its office of head of state, by filling the position independently and internally, we will achieve another milestone in our evolution as a nation.

Values

Only when our head of state is selected democratically will our highest office embody the values of our Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Independence

After 150 years of nationhood it is truly unfortunate that Canada still lacks the self-assurance to fill and administer its own office of head of state. Canada is the only member of the G7 which does not independently administer its highest office.
