After some drama in the Quebec legislature, and 3 lawmakers barred from participating for refusing to swear an oath to King Charles - the legislative body has abolished the mandatory oath

Quebec separatist parties celebrate and say they are one step closer to emancipation from British colonialism

It remains mandatory to swear and oath to Britain's monarch in Canada's remaining provinces

Will this be the beginning of more to come regarding founding a true republic? Dutifully elected Northern Irish (Sinn Fein) MPs have been barred from parliament for refusing to swear an oath for decades.

The better question why the others still swear an oath to someone from another country.

I'm not familiar with Canadian customs, but i can't see any point for doing it. Can someone explain at least a benefit from doing so?

On paper, Canada is still a (parliamentary) monarchy, and the ruling monarch currently happens to be Charles III.

I don't think the Québécois mind the "swearing an oath to someone from another country" as much as that someone not being king Louis XV :tpi:

    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
