Don't care. Fuck the royals. Can't wait for the day when their face vanish from the $20 bill.
What do you want at the top of Canada's hierarchy?
Not some unelected shit. Imagine something happens to Charles and William. Calling Harry and Meghan the Kind and Queen of Canada sounds so wonderful.
William has kids who precede Harry. Honestly, Harry wasn't so bad until he picked Markle for wife. He was a proper lad in his day.
That's the one. Mad lad. I bought a surplus DDR uniform when I was in seventh grade school and dressed as a communist for Hallowe'en. Doesn't everyone do that stuff?
Won't someone think of the children!
So Parliament is at the top of the pile? Not a good plan. They change every eight years or so. The monarchy gives a sense of permanence to government. The monarch is the font of honour for our honour and awards system. Would you want to receive an Order of Canada knowing that it just originates with Justin Trudeau? The Queen was appointed by God; Trudeau was just born with a nice head of hair.
The Americans sidestep this by putting their Constitution at the top of the hierarchy, but we can't do that with our current constitution since it's written on toilet paper and parliamentary supremecy is the law of the land.
Would you like a king that acts and speaks like Trudeau? Because one day it will happen.
There is a reason why the US fought a war to leave that behind.
Our current constitution is not fit for purpose to go that route. Parliamentary supremecy is built into the bones of the document. It's greater failing is that it is written such that the constitution is granting rights to citizens, as opposed to the perspective that citizens have natural rights and the job of a constitution to forbid the government from violating them. I would love to see some "Parliament shall pass no law..." clauses in v2.0.
Be wary of putting your faith in "of the people, by the people" language. There's nothing wise or sacred about "the people". Mob rule is all democracy amounts to. The rule of law has as much work to do restraining the passions of the demos as the ambitions of the state.
I piss on crown land every chance I get, fuck 'em
