Don't forget that she lords over Canada (Queen, Head of State) and laws require her royal assent.
Not a fan, and do not like that in the Canadian oath you have to pledge to her (a human) instead of something non-human that symbolizes Canada (like the Canadian flag). It is unfortunate that in the oath you have to be subservient to another person - so much for all people created equally.
- kwhitefoot 11y agoNo one in the UK pledges allegiance to anyone or anything, certainly not on a regular basis. What is this Canadian oath? I don't think a Brit would have to be a republican to find pledging allegiance to the monarch a rather odd thing to do. And as for pledging allegiance to the flag, well which one? Union flag, the Saltire, the Red Dragon? I might give a little respect to Saint Piran's banner but I'm not about to swear allegiance to it even though half my ancestors are Cornish. Or should I choose the Wessex Wyvern because that is the region where I was born and lived for the first 25 years of my life? Sorry for drifting off topic, got carried away. :-)
