The constitutional monarchy is just a leftover remnant and not relevant to daily lift. The Governor General (the King/Queen's representative) does have the power to dissolve and create governments but it's really just symbolic. If they were ever to use that power against the wishes of the electorate, that power would probably get taken away really quickly.

King Charles hasn't even visted Canada since he became king. That's how much the monarchy means to us too in Canada. Symbolic, but stay away.

What part would have been the hardest? I'm a Canadian and the only time in my life I had to swear an oath was when I went to work in Government. I think I was offered an option to swear on the Bible or to the Queen. Again, the only time in my life it came up and it was kind weird.

Americans swear alliegiance to their flag every day in school. That's weird.

I loved Battlefield 2142. Walkers as well as tanks and a floating battleship to assault was a lot of fun. The launch pods were great too.

Oh, the bodyguards... that makes sense and is kinda smart to investigate.

Distaste for political dynasties perhaps? I don't really like Trudeau as Prime Minister of Canada because his dad was Prime Minister as well. I hope he pulls a Biden and drops out before the next election to get someone fresh in.

Steam censored it for them. Nobody would go and use hearts if they were to self censor. They'd use ****ing asterisks.

He's had a series of mini-strokes though. We know it because he tweeted that he didn't have them.

The word Dominatrix now makes sense to me. It's such a neat word. I never thought of the male equivalent being simply a Dominator.

Brexit was so successful, it's now time for Texit!
