blackbird Posted May 9 Author Report Share Posted May 9 National Post article, "First Reading: Did Trudeau Turn the Canadian Crown Into a Woke Icon?" FIRST READING: Did Trudeau turn the Canadian Crown into a woke icon? (msn.com) _____________________________________________________________--- The Governor General's government website has a link to the Heraldry pages that show various heraldry symbols that the "Canadian Heraldry Authority" as they call their department produces. This bureaucracy is under the control of the the Governor General, Mary Simon. You can see the various symbols they produce. If you understand the GG is heavily attached to her aboriginal heritage and of course most of these so-called heraldry items will reflect FN ideas or culture. Perhaps that is where the idea for the woke crown came from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbird Posted May 9 Author Report Share Posted May 9 Here is one-minute video on the change to the Crown. Putting a snowflake in the crown kind of fits with a Trudeau crown as the snowflake could be a fitting symbol depending on one's point of view.

herbie Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 Bloody imbeciles so stuck on political jargon they equate a snowflake as not representing snow-weather-climate anymore. Do they have to change it to a Polar bear or Beluga until some bozos decide those mean something else? Ditch the whole 'Crown' symbol and create one that represents only Canada. You want heritage? Put a Union Jack and a Fleur de Lis on either side of a totem pole. A kermode bear, a cod and a beluga around it. Don't want to be reminded it snows? Change the flake to an inukshuk.

Hewith, a Panda bear would be fitting at this moment of our take-over by China . . . don't you think? Why the name calling? Makes you look smaller yet . . . . run along now little man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Herbie, why is the Canadian bureaucracy even messing around changing the Royal Crown in the first place? The Royal Crown belongs to the nation of Canada which is tied to the Constitutional Monarchy. Does Trudeau and GG's Heritage Department think they have the right to just change something like an historic royal emblem on their own whim? Sounds kind of pretentious and presumptuous, don't you think. I would think such a move would require the consultation and approval of the people of Canada as well all the important groups that use the Crown as an emblem on their uniforms as part of the Coat of Arms, etc. That includes the RCMP, the Canadian Armed Forces, and various other usages of the Coat of Arms. One would think they would also be asked as well as the 40 million Canadians what they want. Edited May 9 by blackbird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpankyMcFarland Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 Honestly, how many Canadians care about this nonsense beyond the select demographic here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbie Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 Lots. Remember the ones that shit bricks when they took the smoky trains and ugly refineries off the paper money and put birds on it. Some people can't handle any change at all. They need routine like autistics... everything must stay the same from when they were born until they die. Soon there will be complaints they're "erasing QE II" when she's gone from the coins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
