Answer 5

I don't think they are particularly loyal, probably just waiting for her to kick the bucket and then be done with the lot of them!

Answer 6

I'm Canadian and she's not important to me.I think all ties should be cut.The whole idea of a monarchy in any country in this day and age is absurd.Crowns and carriages and kings and queens are just ridiculous in my opinion.

Answer 7

because her majesty has been loyal to canada.

would you prefer things like watergate, guantanamo bay and dear ol' monica?

Answer 8

I'm American and even more removed than the Scot, but I think that Canadians are Brits only through colonization.  Had we maintained ties with the Brits after the Revolution, then we would have the Queen's portrait on our coins as well.  I think it's just a matter of time when the Canadians decide to do their own thing totally.  I also think that Quebec could stand a chance at becoming an independent, French-speaking country as they've wanted for a long time.

Revised 7:50 am EST,USA -  Loyalty is being faithful to people (queens included), governmental systems, causes, staying healthy, traditions, your country, etc..

Answer 9

I am loyal to my friends and family. I am a loyal employee and do my best each day at work. I am not loyal to some rich old biddie in England who wears a crown on her head and likes to be called "your majesty". Her horse is more majestic. It's about time we woke up and became a Republic and spent the money we would have on the Governor General on social programs and housing.
