On being a Constitutional Monarchy
Or, as all Canadians secretly refer to themselves in their hearts, "godless communists."
I was looking at the banknotes of Canada in a friend's locked entry, and thinking how convenient it is to have a Queen: whenever someone on a banknote becomes historically embarrassing, and we have no ready substitute, we just stick Liz on it. Let's be frank, she has a great face for coinage.* (Unlike some I won't mention, wtf.)
But can we agree to secede from the Commonwealth before Chuck wears the pointy hat? There is no graven image of that man I want to carry around in my pants.
