Canada Needs To Ditch Queen Elizabeth

Canada Needs To Ditch Queen Elizabeth


I was born a Canadian and as a result, I have never had to swear an oath to 'Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth'.

Thank gawd (!) because I don't think I could swear that oath without crossing my fingers. So why do we require new Canadian citizens to swear an oath to "be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada, Her Heirs and Successors ..."

But now, thankfully, the Queen's place in Canada is going to trial. This comes about as a result of the federal government's failure to stop a Charter of Rights and Freedoms challenge of the reference to the monarchy in Canada's citizenship oath. Three judges of the Ontario Court of Appeal have denied the federal attorney general's request to dismiss the case.

I know that monarchist types have a number of arguments as to why we 'need' the British figurehead in our structures of state. Their arguments are complete hogwash.

Canada does not need a Queen (nor a King when the time comes). It is a ridiculous remnant of our history and has NO place in the 21st Century.

I am not advocating that we use the French model for eliminating the monarchy, but elimination should be our goal as a nation as soon as possible.



After what just happened suspending parliament to Jan 26

Lets do the same lets suspend income tax, until the same time,



There are many reasons to desire a minority government, the greatest reason can be put simply; with minority governments there is forced bipartisan effort, and forced bipartisan effort is the best available check and balance against both errors in judgement and corruption.

In a minority system two major parties each with differing governing ideologies and representing different people from across the country must come together and agree on the fundamentals (and often times the nuances) of an initiative in order to enact it.

This is not to say that nothing can be accomplished in a minority government without bipartisan agreement (established legislation grants minority governments many executive powers, allowing broad and general strategies to be performed without limitation), but it does mean that to pass legislature to change the nation permanently there must be approval from the members of two or more political parties.

“Although Harper understandably desires a majority to deliver him from Canadian minorities' frayed nerves, his minority situation under plurality elections actually serves him well. Optimally, it may save him from himself. (…) Especially in foreign affairs, Harper benefits from the absence of a coalition frame of mind when all three opposition parties, each one for its own reasons, repudiate his policies. Still, minorities force a negotiation democracy that the tightly controlling Harper would escape in a majority. Even in his minority he allegedly treats his cabinet ministers as ‘servile minions’ and is disinclined to ‘move beyond the perimeters of his own head for advice.’ Nonetheless, Harper's minority forces him at least occasionally to move beyond those perimeters, to the nation's benefit and his own as well. (As noted by constitutional authority Eugene) Forsey (…) when a minority needs support from opposition parties, that support ‘may not only help a government to do good and sensible things but also prevent it from doing bad and foolish things.’”

Be thankful we have multiple parties’ protecting our rights, or we may have been sold to the Elite Corporations more than he already has. The Elite think they should run the world

Canada is better off in a minority government, as are all Canadians. The central rationale behind that assertion is that with a majority government, Harper who already claims to give minimal power to his cabinet leaders would no longer have to listen to opposition leaders; which means errors in his own judgement could manifest in the policies and legislature that directs Canada for years to come. And this brings us to the main drawback of majority governments.

Majority governments deafen the words of opposition parties, or thought provoking in favour of streamlining the plans and initiatives of one party, thereby moulding the nation in that party’s image. One party, one voice, one plan

In a minority government Canadians can be assured that the politicians on Capital Hill, from the prime minister right down to the last MP, are working together – with the many view points of Canadians in mind to solve the problems that face our nation.

Harper refused to work with the other parties and they stood up to save Canada, don’t be hood-winked into I voted for him. Be thankful we have more of our voices being represented.

Time for Canada To Become CANADA. Independent from the Monarchy for ever.

To reconsider our resources oil, gas, electricity, mines, water and the rest of Canadian resources’ being sold or (Stolen) from under us. They belong to Canadians, not foreign countries, (Elite Corporations)

We need to go back, and find the injustices that have occurred from NAFTA\NAU\SPP, Iraq Invasion, Afganistan and maybe further back, and take back what is ours.

Print our own money, with our Canadian heritage, but then again we would have to get a country first

They sold our Ferries, an integral part of our transportation system; at a loss to the taxpayers because of the claim that they couldn’t operate them without costing the taxpayers’ money.

Yet somehow a private company can successfully run them; with a mandate of making a profit for their shareholders. Why can’t we, in the form of a crown corporations, hire the same quality of management as these private corporations can? The problem was not the ferry system but the people in charge of it. By selling the asset to a private corporation guarantees that the service become more expensive as there MUST be profit made.

What next privatize the schools? Hospitals? Prisons? How about water utilities and prisons and other public institutions that should not have try to produce a profit, and selling these institutions would only end up costing the citizens more in the long run; running on budget is all that’s required!

The whole concept of selling your assets, something that you own, to someone only to rent them back from them makes no sense in the long run. If you sell your family home and rent it back, you have cash but SOMEONE ELSE OWNS your home. This is just as true when the government sells our assets out from under us, only to have us pay for them AGAIN. Only this time it’s a rental, its forever, you will never own it again
