I heard that monkey pox is spread by having sex with monkeys. If that's true my life is in serious danger.

There's some on this board who will spread misinformation about our government and Crown, but I suspect they are either Russian or Chinese agents trying to sow discord, or simply fools who need a civics lesson.

Canada is not an absolute monarchy. It is a constitutional monarchy. The Queen of Canada can't, on her own accord, tell you or anyone else to do anything. She can't make any laws on her own accord. That was the case 1000 years ago in Britain, but no longer. Technically the monarch still signs off on all laws (or rather, her representive the GG), but by convention, and through precedents like the Magna Carta and the Glorious Revolution etc, the monarch no longer decides laws, foreign policy, or has any real power. The Queen is a rubber stamp and the laws are decided by Parliament who represent the people, then given to her (well, the GG) to give her royal assent. All laws go through her, on advice of Parliament. She is the head of state. No actual governing power except in emergency reserve power where Parliament may turn into tyrants and she can refuse to sign off on their laws. But this has rarely if ever happened and would cause a constitutional crisis. The Queen is the physical embodiment of The Crown and the country. She is a physical symbol of the state. The sovereign. So when you swear an oath of allegiance to the Queen, you're swearing an oath to her realm (Canada) and her laws and institutions. It's a weird concept, but it is what it is. It's like swearing allegiance to a flag: it's just a symbol representing the country. The people who think such an oath of allegiance means she can boss them around is ridiculous since this is no longer the case since her powers are limited by the constitution. Through millenia of civil war in Britain, when it was still an absolute monarchy and the monarch behaved like a tyrant and the people rebelled, the monarch now does what the people say, not the other way around. They are technically the Queen's laws, but really they are ours and she rubber stamps her assent based on the will of Parliament. The people who still don't agree don't have to take the oath. https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/services/crown-canada/monarch.html https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/services/crown-canada/about.html

I agree with you on the 2nd paragraph. Unless I'm mistaken they do swear an oath. They are mostly all selfish careerists, narcissists, and sociopaths. A normal person wouldn't put their family through that media meat-grinder, unless they felt a patriotic duty to serve their country and countrymen, which they don't. Here's the recent oath of citizenship. I think recently they may have added something about not punching aboriginals in the face or something. As a naturalized Canadian we welcome you and all into the family who uphold this oath: “I swear (or affirm) that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada, Her Heirs and Successors, and that I will faithfully observe the laws of Canada and fulfil my duties as a Canadian citizen.”

A contract is a contract. If you don't like the terms then bye. You're very lucky I'm not the Prime Minister. Mooching would not be permitted, nor would MP's who break their oaths of office. You did not swear an oath to the government of Canada, you swore an oath of allegiance to the Queen of Canada, who is the physical embodiment of the country.

Why? They didn't create Canada. They helped a little bit. They're a part of the Canadian family like everyone else. Nobody in the family is better or worse than the other, except the traitors who enjoy all the privileges Canada offers but have no intention of defending it when sh!t hits the fan. You're a mooch from the sounds of it. Tell me I'm wrong.

I used to be a lefty for a long time. I know exactly how they think. The left are filled with so much guilt, shame, and self-hatred that they won't stand up for themselves for fear of offending someone. They think nationalism is evil. Sometimes it can be if don't wrong, but the answer isn't to abandon any sense of nationhood while letting imported people keep theirs, be proud and celebrate theirs while Canadians hang their heads at all the terrible things our country has done while ignoring the fact that we're one of the greatest societies in human history, which should be celebrated. Instead we're too busy tearing down statues and renaming streets and feeling bad about celebrating Canada Day. This is what weak self-hating losers do. It's pathetic. Canada doesn't have ethnic nationalism we have civic nationalism and anyone can join our family, that's part of what makes Canada great. Wave the flag and be proud.

Confederation is an agreement of the Crown. If you are disloyal to confederation you are disloyal to the Crown. These are the laws of the Crown, embodied by the Queen. You don't even know how our country works. Your duty is to obey the Queen's statutes. Bend the knee and kiss her feet traitor.

Did you ever swear an oath of allegiance to the Queen of Canada?

Canadian nationalism is not racist. Not everyone can be of German blood, but anyone can be a Canadian. Canadian nationalism also doesn't think it is the master race that should conquer the world militarily and rule it with an iron fist and murder all the Jews. So please spare us the ridiculous comparisons to Nazi Germany.

Absolutely 100%. The oath is a verbal contract. If they break the contract they should lose their citizenship and be deported. Bye.

That makes zero sense. I'm a Canadian nationalist. Trudeau and the Liberals are not, they're the exact opposite.

They also wanted to remain a part of the British Empire. They wanted to be controlled and told what to do. The Americans did not. The British living in the American colonies that still wanted to be controlled fled as loyalists up to Canada. Canadians are compliant by nature. The French Liberal Party bastards who have led this country for the last 50 years don't want a nationalist Canada. They want Quebec and the indigenous and the rest of Canada. They don't want a united nation, they want a multicultural nothing-burger and shame the English Canadians for having pride in their country and encourage the Quebecois to do their own thing.

Why don't you tell him. He's in the chair next to you. Or possibly above you as you suck on his balls.

Wtf is leftwing nationalism. The post- national state? That's not nationalism. It's anti-nationalism supported by self- hating losers.

Well good now I don't have to report you to the RCMP.

You don't even know the Queen of Canada and the Queen of England are 2 completely different titles so please spare us the history lesson.

The left doesn't believe in nationalism at all. They think it's divisive and racist and they feel guilty for feeling any pride or allegiance to anything created by white people and/or might upset or exclude non-white people. The left are self-hating self-destructive wimps who are incapable of defending their own country. They want open borders and even no borders at all and think everyone in the world can all just get along as one big happy family. They are overly idealistic utopian fools. You seem to hate Canada as much as they do.

When Alberta is a have-not province in a few decades your province will start getting its money back. Not like you did anything to deserve it anyways.

When your competition is racist backwoods religious nutters and a bunch of hippie commies it must be pretty good to be a Liberal. Turns out common sense isn't as common as it's made out.

Lefties hate themselves. You sound like a lefty lol

This naive and idealistic. People should a right to self-determination. We can barely keep Quebec in the country, good luck with hundreds of other nations not resulting into civil war. When India gained independence from Britain, Pakistan, Bangladesh etc broke away to form their own Muslim nations because that's how they wanted to live, and they should be free to do so. The Punjabis want to break away too.

Lies. The only thing that lives in Hamilton is the smell of exhaust.

Would you defend Canada and Canadian interests against all other countries, including the UK?
