MONTREAL – Just over one year after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, a new poll suggests a growing number of Canadians believe it’s time to reconsider the country’s ties to the monarchy. Data re...
We have to get rid of it because it’s entirely unjustifiable that a ‘royal’ family exists regardless of the actual power that they wield. We’ve long moved past the concept of divine right of kings, there is no ethical basis for this institution. Those are the grounds on which it must be got rid of. That they are powerless money sucks that do nothing for us is just the cherry on top.
This is the exact thing I was talking about, say with me, the monarchy has NO POWER and is nothing more than a figure head. They’ve moved past the divine right of the “king” decades ago.
And Canada pays zero money to the monarchy, so they a rent a money suck either.
So circling back to people no understanding… thanks for proving my point explicitly!
Right, so time to get rid of the pointless institution. Why is this family receiving state money when there is no justification for them to be doing so? Bye bye, time to get a real job.
Well as I said previously, the money is just the cherry on top. The actual basis for getting rid of the monarchy is that it’s an institution with no real legitimacy. Our figurehead is a charlatan.

This is the original goalpost. The money talk was a side track the entire time.

… the monarchy holds no power, parliament does.

We don’t pay them though….
Thanks for proving my point mate!
It would cost us money to remove them while it costs us nothing for them to sit there.

That figure comes from a pro-monarchy group so is almost certainly the lowest estimate possible, by the way. They certainly cost us money.
Most of those costs would be there regardless of the moncarchy.
Still have to upkeep historical buildings, still need to accommodate nationals among other costs.
And we don’t know what the other option could cost, it may cost more since we don’t have established accommodations.
It’s not as simple as you seem to think, those costs wouldn’t just go away….

Stop moving the goalposts.
