Even in Britain there is a large republican minority who dislike the costs.<br /><br />But she is a necessary reminder that the demagogues who wield political power are not the Head of State. The constitutional monarchy is effective to prevent the kind of cult of personality that Harper has tried to develop, though only with his base. You see Liberals carping about their own leader, while the CPC has the personality cult thing down so well they would make Brezhnev blush.liberal supporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129945625510633921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24226508.post-87970574955306633062010-06-29T11:39:55.676-06:002010-06-29T11:39:55.676-06:00I don't support the separation of any province...I don't support the separation of any province from Canada for any reason.

We should not be supporting (ie paying) someone who spends their life smiling, shaking hands and opening shopping centres. <br /><br />In this day and age it is silly.
