I have been concerned about the GG's usurpation of ancient powers, and was now told by the guide it was because some might be uncomfortable with knowing who our Head of State was. I left Canada feeling I had lost my country without having even been informed.<br /><br />If Jean cannot understand her duties, and feels such shame to represent The Queen, may I suggest for the good of those who still feel loyalty and kinship to the Crown that she relinquish her position and find work elsewhere. Presumably in public relations where she can continue to promote herself and leave constitutional matters to those who understand and appreciate them.<br /><br />It angers me that people come to my country forcing us to accommodate them. Perhaps if Jean had been born as I was in this country founded on the principle of the values found in the British Crown, she would respect it more.Keirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17780519140837852601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162816964941896969.post-1811518469698699792009-10-15T21:32:06.176+01:002009-10-15T21:32:06.176+01:00The whole issue of pushing the Governor-General as...The whole issue of pushing the Governor-General as Head of State has been taken to bizarre heights in Australia with “Australians for Constitutional Monarchy” pushing that the Governor-General is Head of State in his/her own right!<br /><br />I have ACM’s original information books where they use to say the Queen is our Head of State and that the Governor General is our “effective” or “acting” Head of State. ACM got scared when republicans called for “an Australian Head of State”.<br /><br />If you go to the “Australian Monarchist League” website you can read an excellent paper by Mr Philip Benwell on this issue “A DEFINITIVE EXPOSITION OF THE POSITION OF HEAD OF STATE IN AUSTRALIA” “TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE”David Byershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16964387756766124214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162816964941896969.post-11167464569184771742009-10-15T05:05:48.061+01:002009-10-15T05:05:48.061+01:00Rideau Hall wants to turn the country into a gover...Rideau Hall wants to turn the country into a governor general's republic. Not only do they think they are above politics, they think they are above the people, precisely because they have elevated themselves above the Queen.Beaverbrookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06957034620891207177noreply@blogger.com
