The Royals

Have to say I’m elated by the support my message about Canada cutting ties with the royal family has received.
Yet, at the same time, I’m disappointed by people who seem to think I bear some hostile attitude to the late Queen before she’s even buried. Really? If you read the first paragraph of the entry I made on this subject, how can you think I’m being hostile about the late ruler? What I said was, “To the family and loyal subjects of the late Queen Elizabeth II, I offer my sincere condolences. She was a marvelous lady who took her duties seriously and I highly respected her for doing so.” If that’s hostile, well…
I’m also saddened by those who say to cut ties with royalty will necessitate revising our constitution. Yes. So? Your point is? Yup, gonna take some work. But wouldn’t we be a sad lot if we never wanted to do some work to attain change!? The phrase “Don't be afraid to give up the good to go for the great.” comes to mind.
Oh well… onwards.
