yeah the pledge was wierd but it was actually not that often and even by upper grade school your going to get a lot of clowning around it so im not sure if they gave up all over or just after a certain grade. Honestly its just the technical monarchy part. I might misunderstand but I thought some representative of the monarch could dissolve parliment and make and break treaties and such.
The constitutional monarchy is just a leftover remnant and not relevant to daily lift. The Governor General (the King/Queen’s representative) does have the power to dissolve and create governments but it’s really just symbolic. If they were ever to use that power against the wishes of the electorate, that power would probably get taken away really quickly.
King Charles hasn’t even visted Canada since he became king. That’s how much the monarchy means to us too in Canada. Symbolic, but stay away.
Yeah but you know how they say its the unenforced laws that are the most dangerous. I mean look at the republicans down here. they would love shit like that in the books to play with.
I’ve become a Canadian citizen fairly recently, and the first time I have ever encountered anything related to the King since the past eight years I’ve been living here was during the Citizenship Oath. Which was a fun little ceremony.
You don’t even have to become a citizen to live in Toronto. Instead I’d just simply not live in Toronto because it’s a shit place, not because of some irrelevancy.
oh its not what held me back. its just hard. by the time I realized how much toronto was like chicago as far as its infrastructure (transit, the lake, similar weather, skline, parks, etc) I was already established and had a wife and real estate. Its just to much to risk so much.

So don’t let Charles hold you back!
