UK doesn't make laws for Canada. Canadian citizens don't pay taxes to UK. So while the two countries are linked by history, symbolism and a figurehead, we are hardly part of UK. I need a Canadian passport to travel through UK. If we were part of UK why do I need that?
America will make you a better deal: Become a territory, no taxes, no passports, no stupid queen on your money.
reply
Only a deal if we can trade you the Maple Leafs for the Panthers.
reply
Deal! Although I'm not sure why you want our worst football franchise.
reply
Fine, we will take them too. Florida and Carolina Panthers for the Leafs and you can have the Canadiens too. French assholes. Haha
reply
You should demand 'Visa and Passport free' travel to UK. I still don't get it why you guys then put the queen on your money and have a governer appointed by UK?
I'm sorry to say but this kinda slavery.
reply
I don't feel owned by the UK and have never been forced into labour by them. I am more of a slave to fiat system than I am to the UK.
reply
Fiat that has the queen printed on it.
Also..
I don't feel owned by the UK
Do you feel owned by Canada? If you do, you're owned by UK as you have a UK governor and a UK bank.
reply
Canada doesn't operate under the UK central bank.
reply
No, just the same central banker. Huge difference.

Why does it say that it operates under Crown Corporation?
I can understand it's not directly under, nor does Canada but too much use of Crown and Queen just makes Canada look more like a British Colony.
Haha got me there.
