Okay, so the oath of allegience of Canada is quite… weird:
“I swear (or affirm)
That I will be faithful
And bear true allegiance
To His Majesty
King Charles the Third
King of Canada
His Heirs and Successors
And that I will faithfully observe
The laws of Canada
Including the Constitution
Which recognizes and affirms
The Aboriginal and treaty rights of
First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples
And fulfil my duties as a Canadian citizen.”
Pledging loyalty to a constitution is one thing, pledging loyalty to some dipshit king is so fucking weird.
I have given you a list of poor democracies that are ‘republics’ and a list of strong democracies that many/most of which are a constitutional monarchy of some flavour or another.
Uhhh mate our nation is literally dictated by another country and we don’t have genuine autonomy?
Maybe you’re happy with some inbred Brit fuck who thinks he has a god given right to own you and control your nation, I’m not.
Uh… No? The fuck are you even talking about? When is the last time the British monarch made a decision on behalf of Canada?

It’s called Royal Assent, the GG gets final say over everything.
When they don’t like what you’re doing, they dismiss your P.M. and cause a constitutional crisis.
Just be glad you haven’t had to have it happen yet, and let’s hope your never do.
Wow that is messed up. It’s also from 50 years ago so… yeah.
Yeah, so within the lifetime of most of my country.
So…. yeah, it can happen and is a risk of having an unelected foreign head of state.
and the republic’s of the world are much better?
They’re just better.
Then there is the USA
???
What kind of idiot puts any substance into what name a country styles itself after rather than how it functions.
ok, lets look at it the other way then?
Yup those are all European or European-colonial nations.
You don’t see countries such as Saudi Arabia, Morocco or Cambodia on that list do you?
So, what’s you point?
I have given you a list of poor democracies that are ‘republics’ and a list of strong democracies that many/most of which are a constitutional monarchy of some flavour or another.
And I have given you a list of poor democracies that are ‘constitutional monarchies’ of some flavour or another.
My point is that you’re using correlation to prove causation.
