Why are they idiots? Iâm Australian and I support the Australian monarchy because it works. Not dissimilar to Canada, Australia is already independent of the UK.
Also most Australians feel similar to the way Marco explained Canadians, indifferent. It doesnât effect day to day life in either country.
However both countries were designed as a constitutional monarchyâŠ. Remove the monarch and the system no longer has the checks and balances it was designed to have.
Creating a new system from the ground up, when the current is working, would be almost impossible. Abolishing the monarchy isnât a solution to a problem but an answer to nationalistic sentiment. While nationalism holds value it isnât worth changing something that already works.
The current Australian prime minister holds republican views but still created a public holiday as a national day of mourning for the late Queen Elizabeth and has said publicly he will not hold a referendum during his first term. This shows how much respect republicans still hold for their monarch.
He is more concerned with actual problems such as a treaty with the indigenous, stagnant wages, inflation, Chinese influence in the Asia pacific. I donât know much about Canadian issues but I assume their prime minister is also more focused on solving problems that affect peopleâs lives
Marco, please hold your horses. I have not put together an argument for you. My main point was concerning Charles, I just threw in an extra jab at royalists for a laugh.
Ah yes. Calling people stupid for disagreeing with you is very funny and productive. I am sure the targets of your disdain really see the humour. I am sure they just absolutely love being called stupid and there are a hundred people screaming more @RickRooney! Gimme moar insults!
And my username is @marco. Please use it correctly.
Well it depends what the disagreement is of course. Worshipping the royals is worthy of it. As is showing support for Taiwanâs horrible traffic system. etc.
I donât like the Quebecker, but I respect that their government wants to preserve their culture and identity. I just donât my kids to have to learn French to rise the ranks of the civil service or military. Itâs not a useful language.
is it you do not like Quebecker because they speak their own language or because they do not about the KING. Can Canada not have more than one national language? For me, in Taiwan I would not say this if you did not speak Taiwanese or any other national language, as many do not speak Taiwanese and also few do not speak Chinese.
With Gen 68ers dying, the hardcore seps are not as strong. While a majority support soft independence governance (CAQ being re-elected with large majority) it is more about who defends Quebecâs interest the best vs, Ottawa, not separation. In this, they are rejecting federalist parties, at least provincially.
I prefer them in Canada, give them distinct status etc., but think the separatist parties are way cleaner in governance than the Libs who often fought against any special status.
