David Johnston is Canada's chickenhawk in chief. David Johnston says it's too bad that Canadian troops can't stay in Afghanistan longer, but he isn't the one risking his life there. David Johnston never served in the military. David Johnston is Canada's Sarah Palin. David Johnston was a game show host for a while like Sarah Palin now has a reality show. They're both pathetic losers.

I had the misfortune of knowing David Johnston at University of Waterloo. I believe that David Johnston, Canada's new governor general, is a dirty filthy bigot, an enemy of human rights, an arrogant prick, a pathetic public speaker, a scumbag, and a disgrace to Canada. He's the last person who should have ever been appointed governor general. Monarchists like David Johnston are bootlickers to the queen.

Well that's a good start, as long as you're willing to change to like I did. Then there's hope.

Fine discussion.

@gundamWWW and of those countries you list, how many are truly prosperous and democratic? If one looks at the most highly developed and democratic nations - Canada, UK, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Australia, New Zealand - monarchies all. There are successful republics too, its hardly an agrument against Republicanism, but it does go to show that constitutional monarchy and liberal democracy arent mutually exclusive.

@gundamWWW well under that thinking, democracy means rule of the people, do you want every person in Canada voting on everything? I doubt it. Thats why we have elected representatives. I think those of us who say we support the monarchy, mean Constitutional Monarchy, whereby the Monarch does not rule, does not enact law or administer justice. Thats for the people's representatives. No one is arguing for absolute monarchy, that would be un-British and un-Canadian.
