@NotSoFoolish@tome0806@RubenGallego Christ is both man and God. 100% man and 100% divine. He is the exemplar of our submission to Him, and He is eternally begotten of the Father.

@arjunmmsk19@JJ_McCullough The UAE spends considerable time preserving its unique national character, religion, and identity; I agree that Canada should do the same’
@JJ_McCullough Is your ideal world reducing everything to functionalism? Inherent meaning is found within one’s relationship to their identity through tradition and history, likewise these are an expression of that on a national level.
It’s also a rejection of Americanism.
These official symbols of the Governor General, as the Sovereign’s Representative in Canada, reflect constitutional authority, continuity and democratic tradition. 🇨🇦
