Canadian Monarchy

A short look at the Canadian monarchy, from the time of Queen Victoria Canada has been a united country in its own right; first within the British Empire and then a partner in the British Commonwealth. Queen Elizabeth II was the first monarch to be officially titled "Queen of Canada". This was uploaded on July 1, so Happy Canada Day Canadians!

LONG LIVE THE QUEEN OF CANADA!

[kilkenian2]

I'm pround to be canadian, I like our Queen and I think our monarchs should come and live with us. Monarchy is for me an example of stability and dignity. We need monarchy for unity and traditions. I hope Canada always remain a monarchy. God save the Queen of Canada.

@datheman3780 "If Britain became a republic the Queen would still be Queen of Canada although she wouldn't have any title in the UK!"

That's technically true, but in the event of Britain becoming a republic, it's very hard for me to imagine Canada not bowing to the inevitable and following suit. To inherit a monarchy even the British didn't want would be an international embarrassment.

Why should the Queen's people change a system that has worked well for millennia, for the Presidential style of government: A system that has failed around the globe.

Elizabeth II costs us less than your President Ombama's Airforce 1 Airplane.

Monarchy represents all of the people - A President will always favour those who have placed him in power: That's how politics work.

thedelta88, thanks for your input. I do understand that you cannot get everything of this subject. The fact you find this subject offensive is irrelevant as you cannot understand this matter to the fullest. This is our reality not yours. I'm glad to be canadian and not american.

@kilkenian2 as an American I think having a special class of people who claim to have the right to rule over other people is an offensive idea. elected officials are bad enough.

@chufuss If Britain became a republic the Queen would still be Queen of Canada although she wouldn't have any title in the UK!

Les monarques canadiens devraient vivre au Canada. Vive la reine de tous les canadiens.
