Sounds reasonable Michael Moriarity. Up until I pull a coin out of my pocket and I see the queens face on it. The queen of England is the official head of state for Canada. So therefore, the royal family is also a parasite onto Canadians.
I agree with your point, and if we ever have a chance to vote on monarchy vs. republic, I will be loudly on the republican side. On the other hand, I consider the environment, income and wealth inequality, proportional representation and many other issues to be much more urgent than getting rid of the monarchy.
