with the parade of "loyal" americans making their way to England to be knighted, it looks like even those south of the 49th want the monarchy back.

Marcos,
Manley is vying for the difficult prize of stupidest Liberal.
He's not even consistent. If he wants to get rid of a useless financial drain he should leave the Queen alone and start here ....:

One of the people present in Iqaluit was Governor General Adrienne Clarkson, the Queen's
representative in Canada and the country's acting head of state. Manley suggested she should become
the real head of state.


Now that would be a reason to emigrate.


"It (a solution) could be as simple as the continuation of the Governor General (in her current role), as
the head of state of Canada," he said on Friday.

It wasn't actually the loyalists who won the day for Canada. It was the natives. The Americans were scared sh@*less of them.

1812 saw a poor, bedraggled, colony of a mere 300k people in Canada win a war (which was mostly expansionary) against a moneyed, organized, republic of 8M.

Canada should growup. It is time we recognised that we are a mature nation. Some may feel the need to cling to the the Queen Mommy's apron...

I do not.
