Surely by now Canadians have had enough of this comic opera monarchy nonsense.
Queen Elizabeth was a charming, decent and highly circumspect person who was able to dampen the perfectly understandable wish of the clear majority of Canadian people to live in a totally independent country.
Sadly, her benighted son appears to have inherited none of her attributes; isn’t this now the perfect time to leave the nest and show the world that we are masters in our own house?
I am a dual citizen of a Latin American country and am constantly at a loss to explain why Canada would choose to have the unelected ruler of a foreign country as our head of state to people who have shed their blood for their independence.
Time to move on.
