    Tangent - but related tangent.

    I'm a natural born Canadian - but if you become a naturalized citizen you have to swear allegiance to the queen.

    I don't feel great about pledging allegiance to a monarch. Especially when that monarch has no practical jurisdiction over me.

      He didn't. but I did. In two languages, what's more.

      I reckon there are more pictures of the Queen in Canada than England

      I was only joking

          Faraday cages are illegal in Canada.

            The occasion has never come up since I was born in Canada - and therefore no one has ever asked me to affirm my allegiances.

              I didn't mind swearing allegiance, but doing it in French was a bit much. I'm pretty sure I could hear the sound of The Iron Duke spinning in his grave.

                  That article is from 2011. Jason Kenny is now premier of Alberta. He is also an inept populist premier.

                  I agree though tribal/religious face coverings should be forbidden in citizenship court and when receiving services in government buildings.

                  Frankly, I would ban them outright in all public venues.

                    On the other hand Churchill was a thorough francophile unless, of course, DeGaulle was present.

                      Indeed. That was well documented in the biography I read, LOL.
