Oh no, I've kicked the monarchist hornet's nest.

I regret nothing.

I don't want to be ruled by a man who lives overseas and was chosen by a divine power to wear a very fancy hat.

He rules nothing, he’s a figurehead, nothing more.

We have bigger fish to fry Steve 🤨

just remember, you can get rid of him just like parliament did with the first charlie horse. Just make sure there's not Cromwell. Long live the Republic of Canada...and I guess whatever you want to call the other Commonwealth nations post monarchy lol.

“Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.”

Although to be honest that might be a better way to go these days…

Your not ruled by the Monarchy. PTrudeau patriated our Charter of Rights

A paternalistic cult dedicated to misogyny and covering up child abuse. That’s the Catholic Church.

Old wealthy family role play is actually very weird and it's weird were all still doing it.

Exactly

comoxtips.bsky.social•81 days ago

It’s the least bad option. Having a Head of State physically removed and completely independent of the Head of Government, but with no actual power, is better than a Pres/PM system (most places, fraught with problems) or an Imperial Presidency like the USA.

I’m really, REALLY hoping you’re not going to waste time and bytes tilting at this particular windmill

I mean, c’mon man! You really think THIS constitutional argument is in the top 10 - even top 100 - issues Canada needs to tackle right now?

dillonforsberg.com•81 days ago

It’s ok, we just need the Boomers to die out and our connection with the monarchy will just naturally go away.

shiftfocus99.bsky.social•81 days ago

You’re talking to one.

Thanks for the good wishes.

dillonforsberg.com•81 days ago

I mean, it’s the truth 🤷🏼‍♂️. Your generation accumulated an immense amount of wealth then quite literally fucked everything up for later generations, and are still holding progress back. No need to take it personal.

dillonforsberg.com•81 days ago

I’m sure some of you are good people though.

shiftfocus99.bsky.social•81 days ago

Sure. But there’s a real rush you get from calling out a “representative” of that entire population you blame for your circumstance, not bothering to understand if they have fuck all to do with it.

That never ends well friend.

Have a good day.

steveboots.bsky.social•81 days ago

It's a post on bluesky, dude. Maybe four seconds. Put the phone down and take a walk.

shiftfocus99.bsky.social•81 days ago

Oh, but it was such a good gif!

motosunburn.bsky.social•81 days ago

Seriously, that guy has no power (except the soft power that all well connected obscenely rich people do). He and his ilk are hereditary parasites, nothing more. Be grateful that you have a better chance of seeing the back of them than we do.

kbernst30.bsky.social•81 days ago

But… I mean… it’s a reallllyyy fancy hat.

weedwizard.bsky.social•81 days ago

I don't know why any of these assholes are on our money. They are not Canadian simple as that.

crankboy1965.bsky.social•81 days ago

I don't know why they are on my currency and I'm British.

dogsouljah.bsky.social•81 days ago

But he says God made him king. 😂

firenfury.bsky.social•81 days ago

I'm very much a Monarchist but I also think your position has equal value to mine.

deanthesavage.bsky.social•81 days ago

I am no monarchist by any means but I am weary of opining up any legislative discussion of charter/constitutional changes with the current iteration of the Cons. Would need all parties acting in the interest of Canada and I don't see the PP (Harper) Cons as a party acting in Canadas best interest.

njcallaghan.bsky.social•81 days ago

🎯

geanieg.bsky.social•81 days ago

Agree on PP. He's toxic and serves only his own interests and desire for power.

deanthesavage.bsky.social•81 days ago

*opening up of any legislative discussion. I would trade it all for an edit button though lol

deanthesavage.bsky.social•81 days ago

How dare you besmirch the bedazzled hat!!

ryandry.bsky.social•81 days ago

The justification for the monarchy and the justification for racism are the same.

laurenatthebay.bsky.social•81 days ago

Not my King! I didn't vote for him.

Even though they rubbed the magic oil on his head? Smh

haydenpjones.bsky.social•81 days ago

I’m kind of neutral on the monarchy. That said, my memories of Meech Lake make me wonder if opening such a process will be good for the country. Will we bring the provinces together in a better union or will it become politicized and degrade. Maybe a citizen’s assembly makes more sense?

wtf47.bsky.social•81 days ago

While I don't disagree in principle, I like that there is a modicum of separation between our head of government and the powers that come with the office of Head of State.

If the US is any example of what republics are, I don't want it.

ohma57.bsky.social•81 days ago

I don't trust anyone who wears a costume. Cowboys rarely wear pointy boots
Neither do real witches
If it's not Halloween
I keep moving

thechosenonetoo.bsky.social•81 days ago

Cowboy boots are always pointy.

memphisbelle1114.bsky.social•81 days ago

Can't be Catholic, then, either, huh?

schrodingersmoose.bsky.social•81 days ago

But have you considered who his parents are?
