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.
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.
51 per cent, agreed with the statement that […] “we have to get rid of it.” In comparison, 33 per cent said the monarchy is an important part of the country’s history.
What kind of polling is this? It is not a contradictory standpoint to both say that something is an important part of a countries history, and it should be removed anyways.
I imagine they do realize that but then follow that thought up with, “So why are we continuing with this…?”

That figure comes from a pro-monarchy group so is almost certainly the lowest estimate possible, by the way. They certainly cost us money.

I don’t think the issue is the people participating, it’s the design of the poll itself

Just because a warplane has an ejection seat doesn’t mean you HAVE to use it. It’s just a pretty good option in some cases in order to save the pilot.
