I applaud you for the above article for my own personal reasons. I am Irish born and as such can never support a Monarchy who for 800 years ruled my country with brutality and starvation. Will I ever get to see a united Ireland of 32 not 26 + 6 counties in my lifetime, I hope so.
I am also a very proud Canadian citizen but it took me 20 years to do that, mainly because it would have meant me paying allegiance to the Queen. When it came time to swear that oath, I used “much different words” I even spoke in Irish and nobody noticed. If I’m ever in a situation where a toast to the King is proposed, I will not raise my glass.
The time for the monarchy to have any association or hold over Canada is over and the sooner the better that happens and we stand on our own as proud Canadians.
