The man who would be King

While preparing for this stack, I had to look at a deeper question than just, should Canada have a monarchy.

That question began to bother me when our Members of Parliament hastily rushed back to Ottawa to vote on appointing Prince Charles as King of Canada; for me that caused me to stop and think, hold on here, who said we wanted a king. Why, was the question do, we want to be a monarchy not asked first?

While doing this article I can not find a record of the vote, although I certainly recall the MPs returning to Ottawa at that time. The only record of accepting Charles as King is Trudeau proclaimed him our King. If the opposition parties and concerns then, it was not reported and negligible at the best. Don’t let the politicians blow smoke about their opposition after Charles was proclaimed King; at the time, they did and said nothing other than go along with the proclamation.

An increasing number of Canadians are voicing loudly they do not want a king and especially King Charles. When the time rolls around to consider William as king, while he does have a bit more popular support, many Canadians will still not be in favour of him or anyone else to be king or queen over us.

Granted the monarchy is little more than a quant nod to history, although on occasion they do serve as a tiebreaker to declare which political party/colour of bunting wrapping the big chair is to be the government. While the office of the Governor General costs us money, the monarchy does not except when they visit we pay for their security. As we do for other internationally recognised protected people from all countries we pay their security when here (they often supplement it with their own as well). Our internationally protected people are like wise protected in foreign lands. Cost are not a reason to not be a monarchy. Even as a republic we would still have someone to do much of the role of the governor general. It still comes down to we should have a national conversation led by the people and not politicians or their appointed hacks. Followed by a binding referendum on what sort of government we want going forward, for me the current autocratic/bureaucrat dictatorship is not even close to what I want. All our governments from municipal to federal are creatures of the British government, they are not ours.

If we have learned only one thing during the last 4 years of increasing control over us. The decreasing rights for freedom, increasing censorship, destruction of our society, increase in the technocratic state, abandonment of science as a basis for decisions is we must question everything government and their lackeys such as the mainstream media tell us is to question everything – don’t believe the government has our best interests in mind. It is not clear to me what the foundation of our laws, regulations and mandates is. At one time it could be said they were based on a combination of the religions of the world and science, now they seem to be based on some random technocratic whim.

Whether Kings Charles days are very limited now or not, before William becomes eligible to be king we should have a national conversation on whether we are a monarchy or a republic. We, must have a review and if necessary redo not just amendment on top of amendment of our laws, bylaws, statutes and treaties etc. This would include our membership in the World Health Organization and acceptance of the “Pandemic Treaty” or what ever it is called today and the International Health Regulations.

Citing page 7 of the June 2023 Druthers news by Timm Stein “Canada: The Grand Deception” and follow up to “Canada: The Grand Deception” in the February 2024 edition we are a republic or more correctly we are a number of republics and have been since January 22, 1901, when Queen Victoria died.

The British parliament repealed the clause in our BNAct allowing for successors of Queen Victoria to be our monarch in the Statute Law Revision Act of 1893 and on the death of Queen Victoria her heirs ceased to have rights over us, nor any British rights over what was then called Canada ceased to exist. Our separate provinces and territories became separate countries at that time. All laws statutes brought into law after that time are ultra vires or beyond the power of the said governments to enact. This, applies to all levels of government, whether what we call them federal or provincial including the “creatures” of the provincial governments, municipalities and other junior levels of government. A much-needed opportunity to hit the reset button and re think all our laws, statutes and international agreements. In my opinion all laws should have a sunset date and be required to be reviewed regularly at no more than 20 year/a nominal 1 generation intervals in a consultation lead by and dominated by the public. Random selected names from the electoral roles would offer a good basis for a citizen’s committee.

Yes, we do have the right to form a collective federation that could operate as what we think of as Canada now, but we never had that conversation, we are not a collective group of countries. In the Druthers articles Timm citing historical facts makes it clear what we are not, we are not a country nor ever have been. We must progress these articles to a conversation and decision of what we are. And how to achieve that.

Before the next person is proclaimed as our new monarch we need to have a cross borders conversation and a referendum to define the type of nation we want.
