For anyone who has been to the Yukon Territory and gazed upon its majesty, King Charles can get fucked. That province may as well be a wild horse. Even Alaska is a giant let-down by comparison.
Born and raised here. It’s nice if you love the outdoors and nature, but if that’s not a big draw for you then our CoL is absolutely insane for such a boring and small place. Paying 2760 per month for a run down shithole 3 bedroom in a shitty neighbourhood fucking sucks and unless you have a degree, you have to work some kind of labour job to make decent money. Most of those are either camp jobs or require a vehicle cause they’re out of range of the public transit.
It is a beautiful place and our summers are short but amazing, but like I said it’s awfully boring if you’re not an outdoorsy person. The winter is also long, dark, and very cold.
Have you seen king charles??? I mean if he were standing right in front of me I am certain I would laugh. He is a hapless clown.
Good on them. I would refuse it too. Personally I find it abhorrent that we as a society still allow this one person to be a king just because he was born into the magic family.
We already have a Canadian Governor General doing the actual job, why not just formalize it and do away eyes the crown.
Charles is nothing but a normal dude…I respect these people for not blindly saying sole crap that nobody agrees with
Royalty need not exist in this world anymore
I like to think of it like a zoo exhibit, come and see the orangutans. The royals have no real power in our society, and I’m sure every party has legislation prepped to abolish the monarchy if they ever try anything other than what they’re told. So long as they keep bringing in more money than it costs to feed em I can see keeping them around.
That being said we should start working on removing them from government ceremonies like this. Why not swear to the people, or on the charter or something.
The problem is they don’t need legislation, they need a constitutional amendment which is a pretty high bar to pass…
Never get there if we don’t start!
Agree with you there!
I would love to see the monarchy abolished.
I think it’s easier for Britain to remove the king then Canada.
So what happens when the byelection is called and the same people are elected and refuse to pledge allegiance? Another countdown timer?
It is a tricky situation where two governance structures collide. We really need to modify the constitution such that the GG replaces the Crown in all matters of state. They do all the work already anyway.
I mean for these kind of nut jobs I can’t imagine pledging to the GG is actually significantly better than the Crown. I say that because I’m also such a nut job, at least in principle.
Obviously monarchy is an outdated concept, but this is a strange hill to die on. The King, or The Crown, is the merely the symbol of Canada’s sovereignty. That’s it. It’s no different than Americans pledging allegiance to the flag. They are not literally pledging allegiance to a piece of cloth anymore than we are literally pledging allegiance to Charles the man. It is just symbology. Neither Charles nor the GG has any real power in Canada and if they ever tried to use their symbolic powers independently of our elected government, it would create an instant Constitutional crisis.
couldn’t have said it any better myself
