Representing the pro-republic movement, Citizens for a Canadian Republic advocates for a resident, democratically-selected Canadian citizen as head of state.
The British monarchy is hanging by a thread. And the UK media is that thread.
The UK media knows that they can bring it all down within wks. They start telling the truth and the monarchy falls.
There’s no real interest in the RF, they no longer sale, what’s in it for the media?
The Monarchy should go
Not because of Andrew or scandal
It should go because hereditary privilege is morally wrong
And underpins a society that then reeks of entitlement & class divide
It is time to abolish the monarchy, titles and the House of Lords.
I was at Royal Lodge just now, where Andrew is hiding from the world’s press. Talk of losing titles is nonsense, there needs to be police investigations and an inquiry into the royal cover up. #AbolishTheMonarchy
A sad farewell to Ken Dryden; hockey superstar, politician & long-time advocate of a Canadian republic.

"The royal visit, Charles’ first to Canada as King, was supposed to be a declaration of Canadian fortitude in the face of American threats. [ ... ]
What it was was an irrelevance, an expensive distraction and a slightly embarrassing reminder that Canada, an advanced democracy of more than 40 million people, still has an unelected, and increasingly outdated head of state.
No one should be born a symbol, I believe. No one should be a king. I have seen one in the flesh now, and flesh, I believe, is all anyone was ever born to be."

@AnglicanJayCAN No, we don't. Just like there are different kinds of monarchies, that's a different kind of republic.
Are you aware that there's such a thing as a parliamentary republic?
... As in Ireland, Austria, Iceland?

"King Charles III’s throne speech [was] heralded by many as a defining moment in Canada’s constitutional history that reinforces our sovereignty.
However, an Angus Reid Institute online poll last week discovered that Canadians are largely indifferent about the monarch’s speech [ ... ]. Asked if they were excited or didn’t care, 83 per cent of respondents chose the latter. [ ... ]
Data also suggest that despite Charles being King of both Canada and the U.K., only 19 per cent view him as such and more women than men, across all age groups, regard him as solely British royalty."

"Ultimately, whatever Charles may do or say should not matter to Canada. Becoming a republic would be the last step in our political evolution as we detach ourselves from Britain. It has been our story for decades: The Canada Corps in the Great War, the Statute of Westminster, the Citizenship Act, making the Supreme Court of Canada supreme, the Maple Leaf flag, the national anthem, the Order of Canada – and, most important, the patriation of the British North America Act, which freed us from British trusteeship while entrenching a Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
All were declarations of independence. All were about shedding our neocolonialism. All were about seeing ourselves not as a young, small democracy, but as an old and big one in both size and stature, a true example to the world. It’s about confidence.
Mark Carney, dusted by destiny, asks us to think big about our unfinished country. And we can – beginning by making this royal visit the last, and saying adieu to the monarchy with a sigh, a shrug and a wave."

A showdown is happening in Sault St. Marie, Ontario, between a monarchist former city councillor, who wants #KingCharles' portrait displayed in chambers, and the republican Mayor Matthew Shoemaker, who prefers an indigenous chief.
Hang in there @SooShoe ! Canada is with you!
