When Donald Trump proposed buying Greenland, Denmark’s King Frederik X responded subtly but firmly, signaling Greenland’s importance by altering the royal Coat of Arms. Now, with Trump musing about annexing Canada, our King Charles III remains silent. While objections from our head of government and premiers are welcome, shouldn’t our head of State make a statement? A soft gesture—like King Charles opening Parliament in March—would affirm his commitment. New Canadians pledge allegiance to the King; shouldn’t that allegiance be mutual?

It's ceremonial, but even that bugs a lot of Canadians.

Given the near impossibility of a national consensus on the matter, I expect that's what we'll do. We'll have King George VII of Canada (William's son) before we come to any national agreement on what should replace the monarchy.

I agree. Most people have no concept of what the change would entail. Many think it would simply be a matter of telling the G-G 'thanks for coming', then turning Rideau Hall into a casino or something.

There are several forms of republic, all have their pros and cons.

At the end of the day - for what gain? To make us feel all growed up?

When parliament can bring it self to return democracy to the House and away from the unelected minions in the PMO - permanently, not just procedural rules. then perhaps we can talk.
 
I assume the Mods are busily thinking on whether to change this THREAD TITLE ( to Current and Former President Donald J Trump's UnitedStates of America...) or whether to freeze this one and start afresh.
