    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?

        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.

            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.

            ???

            What kind of idiot puts any substance into what name a country styles itself after rather than how it functions.

                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.
