Canada and its 'royal' past.

I have nothing against them personally. I am sure they're no different than anyone else.

But that is really the point - they ARE no different than anyone else, so why treat them differently?

Why courtsey and bow and pay them a high sum of taxes simply because their family held a piece of metal and jewels around their heads and claim they decended from high above? There is respecting the past, and then there's leaving it where it belongs - in the past.

Other countries have moved forward from royalty, why can't we?

A grim reminder to progressives in the US about what can happen when you let establishment control one's narrative.

"Opinion polls showed a lead for the Conservatives throughout the campaign. Ultimately, the Conservatives gained 47 seats while Labour lost 59 seats, resulting in a Conservative majority of about 80 seats. Due to Labour's significant losses, Corbyn announced his resignation as the party's leader.^[3][4] Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson narrowly lost her own seat, with the party winning only 11 seats despite polling nearly 12% of the vote. Swinson announced her resignation as well.^[5] The Conservatives performed very well in Northern England and across the Midlands, winning a large number of seats in that region including the constituency of former Prime Minister Tony Blair.^[6]"

Well this is good.

'Extensitive' - establishment propaganda

Media outlets to no longer trust.

Based on the coup in Bolivia that took place recently, this make me wonder if they were ever reliable in the first place.
