I believe the Monarchy has outlived it usefulness, and has no current power or Status. My belief is that if the Royal couple or family wants to come to Canada, let them spend their own money, not my tax dollars. I can think of better places for my tax money to be spent than on some outdated monarchy.
May your new year be filled with prosperity and good will, and may you rise every morning in good health.

My God, how pompous, just imagine in this day and age running around with a crown on it's head, what a complete waste of tax payer money.
Didn't your European forefathers risk life and limb to set up here in the new world just to crawl out from under the tyrannical boot of those despot rulers?
Now they are embracing it once again? Twisted. It must be a case of Stockholm syndrome.
I wish we would have levelled Columbus & the rest of that white trash as soon as they stepped off their boats 500 years ago, put their bodies back on their boats and set them adrift, when the boats landed back on the European shores with a few hundred floating pin cushions they might have got the hint, stay away.

These new Canadians come to this land of freedom and see these Europen fools still bowing down to their british masters. So why can't they bring their cultures and beliefs over here too??

Stockholm syndrome is a term used to describe a paradoxical psychological phenomenon wherein hostages express adulation and have positive feelings towards their captors that appear irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims.
The white Europeans were under the brutal capture of the despot rulers for thousands of years, they escaped to freedom in the Americas, now they consistently sing the praises of their monarchy overlords every chance they get.
That is where I was going with the use of Stockholm syndrome.
Cracker, I am a bit lazy & stun, can you draw the dots for me on that Sarah Pailin dealy please.

I though my Sweetie Palin handled that question very well indeed,
The Bush Doctrine is a phrase used to describe various related foreign policy principles of former United States president George W. Bush. The phrase initially described the policy that the United States had the right to secure itself from countries that harbor or give aid to terrorist groups, which was used to justify the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan.
I felt that her below response was pretty good for a light weight politician, not really sure how that is relevant to the current topic of this thread.
