The long discussion on Tuesday night presented many valid points pro and against monarchy.
I have found this site which presents both sides equally, and should provide interesting reading to all who participated
Royal Jubbly: Monarchy or Republic? |
An interesting site indeed. Canada is a monarchy and most of the country ... I would say Quebec is different for good historical, ethnic and cultural reasons .... are quite content with our system. We are a strong, rich, and free democratic country and having Elizabeth II as our monarch does not interfere with any of that. Canadian First Nations people are particularly in favor of the monarchy, and loyal to the crown. I personally do not see any problem with having a head of state who is above and outside politics. The way things are going in the States, with Bush succeeding Bush, and maybe Clinton, Clinton; and with the Kennedy's still powerful in politics, it seems like heredity might be catching on there.
