	ipedia.com: Monarchy in Canada Article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
		Today, virtually all of the Queen's Canadian duties are performed by her representatives in Canada, the Governor General and the Lieutenant Governors of the provinces, though occasionally the Queen's authority is appealed to by Canada's partisan political leaders.
		Prominent critics of the monarchy such as Citizens for a Canadian Republic point out that the Act of Settlement explicitly excludes Roman Catholics from the throne and the Queen is Supreme Governor of the Church of England, requiring her to be an Anglican.
		To counter this argument, Citizens for a Canadian Republic in March 2004 proposed measures to avoid constitutional deadlock by advocating a parliamentary reform of the office of the governor general, an office generally expected to be transformed into a presidency should the monarchy end.

	cars - Monarchy in Canada
		Although it's unlikely that a republican head of state would be less costly, it's important to note that the present Governor General is now considered by the government to be the de facto head of state, and already engages in all roles and protocols expected of one.
		To counter this argument, republicans in March 2004 proposed measures to avoid constitutional deadlock by advocating a parliamentary reform of the office of the Governor General, an office generally expected to be transformed into a presidency should the monarchy end.
		Some republicans have proposed that there be a national debate on the monarchy before the next sovereign is proclaimed, and one constitutional scholar, Ted McWhinney, has argued that Canada can become a republic upon the demise of the current Queen by not proclaiming a successor.

	Religion in Canada: Its Development and Contemporary Situation by Roger O'Toole for the American Religious Experience
		While Canadian recruits typically resemble their American or European counterparts and the attractions of NRM membership transcend national boundaries, a specifically Canadian variation on the familiar theme of NRM appeal to the marginal, confused and disoriented has been provided by Roland Chagnon (1985).
		Though the fathers of Canadian confederation supplied a scriptural charter for their new dominion (Psalms 72:8), the central precepts of their new political nationality were devotion to the Crown and respect for the British parliamentary tradition.
		Canadians now choose to define the nature and content of their religiosity by drawing from that "reservoir of rites, practices and beliefs" with which they are most familiar "without responding to any institutional prerequisites or their consequences" (Voyé and Dobbelaere, 1993: 95-96).

	Republicanism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Republicanism is the ideology of governing a nation as a republic, with an emphasis on liberty and rule by the people.
		In England a republicanism evolved that was not wholly opposed to monarchy, but rather thinkers such as Thomas More and John Milton saw a monarchy firmly constrained by law as compatible with republicanism.
		All republicans rejected inherited elites and aristocracies, but the question was open whether the republic, in order to restrain unchecked majority rule, should have an unelected upper chamber, the members perhaps appointed meritorious experts, or should have a constitutional monarch.

	Republicanism
		Although the focus of much republican sentiment was symbolism, there was also an important undercurrent of republican constitutionalism.(55) The dismissal of Prime Minister Gough Whitlam’s Labour government by the Governor-General in 1975 revealed, in the view of Reynolds, that "representative government in Australia was an empty gesture when confronted with viceroy sovereignty".
		The personal power of the Sovereign and his or her local representative is strictly limited, and the cost of the monarchy is borne, to a great extent, by the British taxpayer.(174) This leaves nationalism or symbolism as the major factor.
		The republican tradition in Australia was grounded in nationalism, a degree of Irish republicanism (which saw the Crown as symbolic of British oppression(175)), and a smaller degree of doctrinaire republicanism, whose advocates saw hereditary authority, however attenuated, as inimical to democracy.

	Republicanism in Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Canadian republicanism is the advocacy of constitutional change in Canada leading to the abolition of constitutional monarchy within the Commonwealth and the creation of a republic as a Commonwealth republic.
		Republican sentiment became more prominent with the rise of the Quebec nationalist movement in the 1960s with the demands for an independent republic of Quebec put forward by both the Front de libération du Québec which advocated violent methods and the parliamentary Quebec indépendentistes who formed the Parti Québécois.
		While the idea of a republic was a minor issue during the Canadian Constitutional negotiations of the 1970s, when a new Constitution was agreed to in 1982 it included a provision requiring unanimous consent of the federal government and all ten provincial governments before any change could be implemented to the status of the monarchy.

		Of the varieties of anti-Americanism in the world, the Canadian strain has the oldest lineage, and according to this noted Canadian historian, it is finished as a factor in Canadian politics.

		“The Republican form of Government is the highest form of government; but because of this it requires the highest type of human nature.”~ Herbert Spencer
		In recent years, particularly from the time Liberal John Nunziata was expelled from the Liberal caucus for voting to rid us of the Goods and Sales Tax (which had been a Liberal campaign promise), it should have become eminently clear that our system does not allow for government by the people.
		God knows we’ve had enough of the feckless leadership of “consensus” driven by polls and focus groups.
