It doesn’t affect us day-to-day no, but honestly I like being part of a ‘Commonwealth’. I like feeling like I have something in common with Australia, or New Zealand, or the UK, even if I’ve only ever been to the UK for a few hours.

Your family name (for most people, unless you’re George Hitler) has no impact on your day-to-day, this to me seems like saying “We should just get rid of family names!”

The people who are being manipulated with this nationalist dog whistle see no value in being a member of the Commonwealth. Canada First and MCGA and all.

It is a mistake to assume that those of us who oppose monarchy are Canadian nationalists.

Some people simply hate outdated hereditary titles. They have no place in a democracy.

You don’t need to keep the Royal Family to stay in the Commonwealth. Take a look at the current members of the commonwealth.
