Canada's freedom...

Canada has its own constitution yet still has "colonial" appendages, such as the Governor General. We do not need any symbol or any form of attachment to England.

England, as a powerful nation some centuries ago came to North America and took over the land from the native inhabitants. In today's terms, that would constitute an invasion of a foreign land. But Europe of the day wanted to possess and to acquire the wealth of other lands. Portugal did this in South America. Spain did this in South and Central America and much of the land of North America, part of which is the present land of Mexico.

Latin America has "divorced" itself from relationships with Portugal and Spain. The United States "divorced" itself from England. England took over land that had been "acquired" by France. Canada has not completed the "divorce" from England. We are in a state of "separation". Now, that "separation" must take the form of a total and absolute "divorce".

Canada is a multicultural society with linguistic attachments to the English and French languages. The United States has a linguistic attachment to English. So it shall remain, yet the United States are free from England. Canada needs this freedom; it is desired by many.

We often read about the Royal Family. Most of what is written concerns family problems and issues relating to family members who at times bring a measure of embarrassment to the family. Most Canadians do not have any attachment to that family. If the English want to maintain their royalty, that may be wonderful for them but for Canadians the less we have to do with that "royalty", the better and the sooner the Governor General's position is dispensed with, the better, as well!
