Well if it wasn't for the crown we would probably just be an American state today, and the main basis of English speaking Canadians were UEL at one time, that would say something about Canada and Canadians. to be Canada always will have some what of a link to the crown and remember the Queen is the Queen of Canada, as we are independent and we are also a big member of the common wealth, participating in the commenwealth games and so on, its what Canada is our whole countries loyalties are to the crown and I believe as member of the CF your not exactly supposed to be bad mouthing the Royal Family or calling the crown hollow, oh and to add to that, a lot of Canadian regiments are descendants of British regiments. Also to call the Royal Family a big Wellfare trip... Thats way over the line they do a lot for things all around the world, sure they may not have huge political power but remember it was the royal family that fought for banning of land mines and such things, as well if we were to cut off our ties with the royal family well there would go what makes the Canadian army the Canadian army right out the window
hmm.. remember what the R stands for in RCR or RCA or RHLI or RCAF,RCD, RHFC, ill leave it at that but we all know theres tons more even the Cadets are RCAC or the Mounties what make Canada Canada are RCMP ea thats right Royal showing our ties to the monarch you don't see anything being called Royal south of the border now do you?
