everytime this comes up, its the same song and dance.

Why still a monarchy? Because the monarch family is friendly and on our side. If you can tame the lion, you don't have to put it to sleep.

The monarchy stops things like Jan6th from happening, probably would have limited the whole hanging chads thing as well. They (via the GG) have peacefully resolved the 2008 constitutional crisis as a canadian example. The monarchs power and money is tied to exactly one thing, the current political system continuing, that is their only power and it aligns with their incentives. I don't like the monarchs, but I like constitutional monarchies and I don't see a good way of setting up a new head of state that isn't elected (and thus corruptible). Perhaps a Native leader of some kind.

A lot of privileged Canadians are discomforted by the possibility of putting themselves at risk to do the right thing. Canada is an extractive enterprise, nothing more. People have meaningful lives within it, but this system is evil and this man's ability to rape with impunity is directly connected to the existence of a monarchy in Canada's constitution. It's true that removing the monarchy from this system would be dangerous to people who benefit from colonialism, including every able-bodied, well-off, white, cishet Canadian citizen. To say that it would somehow introduce new dangers to the rest of us works to occlude that the current objective of the Canadian state is indeed eradication of other groups. As a liberal state, it certainly appropriates inclusivity and "progress" into its aesthetics. Make no mistake though, this is a tactic it uses to assimilate groups it does not want to exist.

If Canada cannot exist without colonialism, then it should not exist. Period. If you hate that idea, then you should think hard about what your morals are. Can you live with yourself if you truly care more about your own status over the wellbeing of everyone else in the world?
