Nice to see how we've regressed under Harper. Our independence is no longer of importance it seems. I used to be ambivalent about the monarchy. But after that visit months ago from those two royal Britwits, my stomach turned. I love being Canadian. I'm not all that fussy about being Canbriterican.
OK Harper, how long before we revert to the Union flag? How about 'Dominion of Canada'?
There's a reason we're called progressives and they are called conservatives. One advances; the other regresses.

I want to puke, how much for all the pictures, do we update them every year, must they be smaller than harpers picture?
The way things are going with Mr. Stephen Fucking Harper he'll bow and scrape his way across the Atlantic and hand our Canadian constitution and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and our flag back to The Foreign Queen saying, "Here, we don't need this anymore. We've let Jesus (and the Family Research Council, Bay Street, CSIS, the RCMP, Sun Media and DND) take the wheel. we don't need no commie rag written by that filthy hippie Trudeau!"
A friend of mine came up with a good quote a while ago: "A monarchy has no place in a country dedicated to the ideal that all persons are created equal."
N.
I thought it meant "hang the Queen" as in death penalty. Harper wants to take us back few centuries.
Looks like Reform agenda or what Paul Martin called hidden agenda. Disgusting! What were Canadians thinking when they voted for this twit?
I don't think this post is really that fair. Sure, I find these symbolic moves to be technically regressive... but mostly, I find them useless. Notice how I said symbolic; because that's really all they are: symbolic.
They have no real political ramifications outside of potentially garnering more support for the Tories. Old people like Tories, old people tend to like the monarch more. Bing, bang, Conservatives score some cheap points with their base.
But, really, in reality, Harper is cozying up to America much more than he's nudging back up to Britian's crown. Two examples. One: The trans-Canada-America pipeline that gives America even MORE control over "our" oilsands. Two: copyright legislation, thanks to wikileaks, we know America had a heavy role in pushing it, and the Conservatives were eager to oblige the request. Too eager, even.
We're not losing our independence to Britian. That's a distraction at best.
We're losing our independence to America. Which is ironically something we used to fight over. With the British.
SweenyTenit, Swastika is symbolic too. Why then it is considered so hideous? Symbols reveal a culture and nature of society.
@LeDaro, that was an incredibly toolish and stupid thing to say. The only reason the swastica has negative connotations is because of the real and indescribably disgusting acts of the ruling Nazi party.
Before them, that was a symbol of peace.
Symbols don't make nations. Nations make symbols.
SweenyTenit, one symbol is bad and another one is good. Interesting! Photo of Liz in embassies simply means Harpo wants to turn the clock back and turn Canada into a dominion again. Actually when Will and Kate were visiting, Harper referred to Canada as a dominion. In reality sizable Brits have nothing to do with Liz but Harper is renewing his love-affair with the monarchy. Maybe it is because he wants to be a monarch himself. He sure behaves like one.
Your comment is totally amateurish and ridiculous and did not deserve a response but this time I will make an exception.
