I think there is something sweet about having a Queen as the figurehead instead of a King.
Maybe it's because I'm a male, but I find Queen Elizabeth II very likable. For ceremonial purposes, I think it feels good and charitable when Canadians create the best country they can possibly be and then put the Queen at the head of it.
And the Queen has a beautiful dwelling and the Queen looks after people who are often grieving, attends many funerals, does things in this day and age that I think are performed with more of a woman's touch.
I think having some guy up there, %26quot;A King%26quot;, changes that tone significantly, unless the King is a very gentle selfless emotionally sensitive male. Like if the figurehead were some CFL Quarterback, it just wouldn't be the same, wouldn't you agree?Will Canada change as a nation when the Head of State becomes a %26quot;King%26quot; again?I think the only difference it would make to the average Canadian (Monarchists notwithstanding) is that we'd see a different face on our money. Beyond that, I don't think anybody would notice or even care.Will Canada change as a nation when the Head of State becomes a %26quot;King%26quot; again?Hmmm no I don't think it will have any affect of Canada's perception of the monarchy, because we have a GG that is the Commander-in-Chief and the de facto Head of State. The Queen has been Queen for so long we just have a special place for her, but thats what happens with all new monarchsWill Canada change as a nation when the Head of State becomes a %26quot;King%26quot; again?No. There will be no difference. If anything, there will be further separation. Canadians didn't put the Queen at the head of the country - Canada's association with the monarchy began with Queen Victoria, who was the ruling monarch when Canada was founded as a colony. Since then, there have been a number of kings and, after George V died, his daughter, Elizabeth, became Queen. So Canada didn't 'put' her anywhere. She inherited her role in Canada's constitutional monarchy.
When Elizabeth dies, Charles will become king. When Charles dies, William will become king. So you're going to have a long, long wait until the possibility of another queen rolls around.Only if they make some very drastic changes to the role of the Monarchy itself. I think the Brits would riot in the streets if that were to happen. So, I don't see any changes in the near future when 'William' becomes king. The Queen will be around for at least another 10 years and by then Charles will be too old. The crown will go directly to William.When QE 2 is finished in her role hopefully Canada will,like Australia, begin the overdue process of finally becoming a REPUBLIC .
