Regardless, I support the symbolism as expressed here in Canada. Our system has worked. Our symbolism has worked despite the incumbents of the throne. We control them; not the other way around. British history through commom law has found a way to remove any non symbolic power of the Crown. The only sustainable power of the Crown is that of unity. I support the unity of Canada so then I support the Crown. A Republic does not have that symbolic heritage. Be wary of such changes in our relationship to the Queen or King of Canada. Symbolism is a very great power for unity. As for Quebecers, they benefited by the British Crown who supported their requests when France abandoned them.Hoarfrosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07851698479761235428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3406764266825534923.post-65253632743258681312009-11-10T22:10:47.036-05:002009-11-10T22:10:47.036-05:00"What silliness, what stupidity."
