  1. We have the BEST constitutional system and HERITAGE in Canada. The dignity of the state, and the efficiency of government (or lack of depending on whose in power). We are an independent and REGAL state, with all the trappings of an ancient and powerful kingdom. What’s not to love ?

  2. I’m concerned there’s a lot of really obvious stuff here Re colonialism that’s not being said. Why hasn’t she apologized for what’s happened within this Monarch’s reign? She felt bad about that and wanted things to work out for everyone, doesn’t sound grounded in the data? I love and appreciate Madame Anchors work being fastidious about this, but let’s remember, we held those accountable for horrible things that happened in ww2 – into their nineties.

    I’m afraid of the contractual barriers that seem “tucked under the rug” (still?).
