Ditching royals....

"Ditching royals is easy, expert says," music to my ears. A Canadian constitutional expert argues that when the Queen ends her reign, Canada could refrain from proclaiming a new monarch. The monarchy is not relevant to Canada. The present Queen's representative is superfluous to the needs of Canada and is a drain on the national purse. If we are to have a "head of state", that person should be elected with tight controls over activities and budget. I say, enough is enough and all vestiges of the historical relationship with Britain removed.

It is believed that this change can take place in a polite way and with a measure of good will. Yes, it can be done quietly, without fanfare. It must be done, nonetheless.

The present Parliament should, some how, look at the situation as important and work needs to be undertaken now to bring about an early solution to the "problem" of the Governor General. The G.G. must go, the sooner, the better.
