Post on my thoughts about the coronation and the monarchy

    Funny. Days like this actually give me a nice respite from the news. I have about as much interest in this as I do in the cult get together this weekend that the CBC is covering wall to wall when not covering the coronation. Years ago a couple of women in my office couldn’t tear themselves away from the TV when Princess Di died. Very confusing.

  2. Warren,

    Once again, a true Irishman. My view is the same as yours but given the fact that Trudeau and his idiots stuck us with an unamendable constitution, we’re stuck with the monarchy — not to mention Quebec not being addressed in the constitution.

    So…in light of that, the last thing I want to see as our head of state is another Justin Trudeau: a phoney baloney actor who has been way over his head since Day One and who sows discord and division wherever he goes.

    With His Majesty The King, the monarchy is in good hands. His abilities will lessen the potential number of countries likely to leave the Commonwealth. The monarchy is no longer on its last legs in the UK. It has picked up steam thanks to the way Charles III has performed so far. For him, I am glad to see him get his chance. What he makes of it could potentially change the monarchy and its history.

    I stayed up to watch the Coronation live(and I’m paying for it today) I thought the Coronation was top flight. No one does pomp and circumstance better than the Brits, and I thought the proceedings were flawless. Proud of our PM, his wife, the GG, and the RCMP contingent present. HM will be a fine King, I believe.

    God Save the King!-signed A. Monarchist.

    Charles will be the climate change king. He’ll fly all over the place like Justin Trudeau, John Kerry, et al, lecturing us to use less hydrocarbons and urging us to make do with less.

    Lead by example? Not for the entitled.

    Republicanism looks better every day…..

    Britain can keep the monarchy. There’s no need for Canada to act like it’s still a colony.

    No concern with the monarchy – but much concern with the ridiculous, expensive, and unnecessary infrastructure within Canada that supports it. Ditch the GG, and all the provincial LGs.

    • Steve,

      If you can get all 13 to agree, I’m definitely on-board. But thanks to the old man and his provincial numbskulls, it can’t and won’t happen. We’re stuck with it, short of UK abolition.
