This Remembrance Day there is some discussion about whether Canada should have a Monarch, and continue as a Constitutional Monarchy, or be a Republic with an elected head of state.
Firstly, Canada's military history reveals that its soldiers, sailors and airmen and women, gave their lives under the leadership and honourable sovereignty of the Constitutional Monarch of Canada in order to protect their country and others from tyrants dictators and genocidal maniacs such as Adolph Hitler.
It would be disrespectful to the pride and memory of those who are still living or fell in battle or were killed in air-raids and by IEDs to change our head of state, our monarch, who remains the 1st Servant of the People of Canada and who is served by the Prime Minister, (who is the 1st Servant of the Monarch, and who in his/her representation of the electorate must keep in line with the democratic rulings of Constitutional Monarchy), by replacing it with an elected official head of state whose non-constitutional monarchial position could very well become a dictatorial one.
It was against such a form of government, Nazi Germany, that so many Canadians had to fight in World War Two, many of them losing their lives or being crippled or maimed by their injuries and or wounds.
We can see by the experience of the citizens of the United States during the Presidency (Head of State, non-Constitutional Monarchial), of Richard Nixon and his refusal to pull out of South Viet Nam when it was obvious that Americans were losing their lives and the war could not be won against the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong, what a government that cannot be managed by a head of state that is above politics can end up inflicting on its citizens.
I hope all of those who read this will study the history of the various world dictatorships and dictators, and military and political history more closely before they would like to have a Canada without a Monarch.
