    Huh, I always thought the monarchy was a figurehead role in Canada’s government. Seems to me that should be an elected position, not one granted by birth, but that is just my first gut response. I’ll for sure have to look more into it, thanks for the answer.

      There really is not much to look into, past elementary school knowledge of what a King is.

      You don’t need trauma to see monarchy has no place in society. In Italy we kicked the King out after WWII and we now have a long term (7 years) head of state that more or less encompass a bipartisan role as a keeper of the constitution.
