I do have a bit of a dog in this hunt because I have taken an oath to the QUEEN of Canada as an officer in Her Majesty's Navy.
This is the oath I gave so many years ago;
, _________, do swear (solemnly declare) that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, her heirs and successors according to law. SO HELP ME GOD (delete if declaration)
(If you are one of them damn heretics
you can insert this (solemnly declare) and not say So Help Me God if you so wish)
United States Armed Forces oat:
I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.[1]
Anyway all this aside, we are a constitutional monarchy but we can become a republic if we want to. But do you really think that a nation who can barely get 50% of its population to even vote would want to attempt the massive turmoil that this would involve? Unless the Queen herself orders me to become Stasi-like to my fellow Canadians I highly doubt that most Canadians could be bothered.
Have a great Navy day!
