| I think Shane has hit it right on the head. To be honest I find it hard to believe that the British still want monarchs. As far as Canadians we just seem to take what is shoved at us. I think that anyone who would waste their time defending the queen's right in Canada is someone with too much time on his hands. Really, who needs a queen anyway? Doesn't the government of this country suck enough money out of Canadians now without giving money to the symbolic head of another country? I mean really does she need anymore money. And to all the people who have threatened Shane for this site. Grow the F*** up and get a life. Funny site. Great Idea. Shane for PM |
| My husband just called from work in a thrill. Keep it up Shane. You have hordes supporting you here in Canada. |
| I love your website but think you need a plan for what comes after you send Lizzy to the mat. I'm not talking about what system should replace the monarchy or how our new head of state should be elected. No! I'm talking about sneaking a guillotine up on Parliament Hill, then inviting Prince Charles back for another royal walkabout. As Robespierre and Cromwell showed the world, THAT'S the way to make a clean break with the royal past. No more heir, no more problem! You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs. Off with their heads, I say! Long live the Republic of Canada!! |

I read about your site in an Ottawa Citizen article. I hear that they are going to start covering news later this year!
I'm a little concerned with Shane's bid to become the Queen (specifically) of Canada. I think it's common knowledge that when he isn't singing to Eminen, Scott Thompson, aka Buddy Cole, holds the title, and he is doing a regal job. And he's also out of the country! I think Shane should concentrate his efforts on becoming King. We had a King of Kensington, but sadly he died. Long live Al Waxman! Now excepting the abovementioned, we Canadians are without legitimate (or un-legitimate) royalty. It's about time someone approached the subject with the respect it deserves. Please stick to math, just because we should do away with this anachronism is no reason to resort to violence - or violins! |
| Canada doesn't need a f**king monarch (Or any other kind for that matter.) What Canada does need is politicians that would stand up against the US of A. Kick that old dirt-bag bitch in the crotch! |
| Being from a Scottish background, anything is better than the monarchy |
| Right on!!! |
| I'm a Brit and I hate her too. Nothing personal, I just think she and her inbred brood should f**k off. |
| You don't seriously think we're all that impressed on this side of the pond (me British!) about being 'ruled' over by a bunch of inbred foreigners either, do you? (Don't forget that the family name is really SaxeCoburg-Gotha-Hanover, and even if she'd taken her husband's name at marriage they'd have been Battenbergs, or something unpronounceably Greek!) However, they are almost supremely irrelevant, and I can't help feeling that you guys are doing quite well enough over there, compared to us, without getting all hot under the collar about them. Ignore them - they'll get bored and go away soon enough. |
| You rock Shane...sock it to the old biddy!!! |
| Broadcast the kickboxing match on the net!! |
| Time for a change: the royal family is old news. Spend the money on Canadians to improve our standard of life. |
| For Canadians, ousting the queen needs to become a national priority. Can anyone think of a better way of recouping some of our lost pride? The Aussies may have beat us soundly at the last summer Olympics, but we could salvage our national bragging rights (and then some) by beating them to the punch with the elimination of the monarchy. Also, imagine how ridiculous it would be if the British eliminate the monarchy before we get around to opting out! So we need to get out of our system of constitutional monarchy while the gettin' is good. Shane, when you get your kickboxing match, I want a ringside seat. |
| Whomp on her inbred ass!! |
| Down with the monarchs! I think you should challenge her to a beer-drinking contest too... but ya' know what would really be neat: PRO WRESTLING! i.e.WWF |
| Can we use the money for beer AND free hockey tickets? |
| Put those pushy people back in their place! |
| At least be sporting, and challenge her to a drinking contest. Apparently Lizzy's quite the fish when it comes to martinis. |
| Funny site...serious message. |
| Great site, brightened up my rainy day. |
| Kick her inbred arse, Shane! |
| Finally, somebody with the balls to stand up to this idiotic institution! Good for you Shane! You have my support 100%! |
| Trounce her in the math test! Crush her in the kickboxing ring! Shane for King! |
| I would happily bow before you, a Canadian, as king before I'd bow before that cow Lizzy. |
| At first glance, I was offended, but the more I looked at your site the funnier it is! I think you should try to stress the math test more - so as to not offend all the monarchists. On second thought, keep it the way it is. Funny!!! Congratulations! |
| As a Brit, I reckon the Queen has just about reached the end of the road except as a boost to tourism - I'd rather see a republic with a proper constitution. ATM some people admire our monarchy but in a very short space of time they'll be overtaken by those who pity us for it. Console yourselves with the fact that they really are irrellevant and are not gonna be around that much longer, at least in their current form. It'd be sad though for them to carry on in an eviscerated form like the other European monarchs who simply cut pretty pathetic figures as royals. You either have a proper monarchy which no European countries have had for quite some time, or you have a very expensive museum piece. As for the Commonwealth, we are fortunate to enjoy good relations with many of these countries, and I think that relationship'd do better without these people claiming a special leading role in their constitutional affairs. |
| Great site!!! Finally, an anti-monarchist site that makes sense! Sign me up for tickets to the match! |
| I think the northern cold has permanently shunk the Canadian brain (specifically the frontal lobe) resulting in a somewhat skewed view of life. As far as the fight...I'd have to put my money on Shane but beware, I hear the Queen knows how to bite in the clinches and isn't above a little gouging when no one is looking. |
| My father fought in WW2 under Montgomery on the front lines, and I have been very active in Alberta trying to create a debate on dumping the monarchy. We have picketed in Downtown Calgary with placards saying that the Monarchy is divisive to Canadians, etc. We have called in many talk shows and have written many letters. Of course its time to dump the Queen and everything else, including icons that tie us to strongly Britain, ie, emblems, icons, stamps, coins, etc. It serves absolutely no purpose to Canadians anymore, other than feeding anti-Americanism which creates a negative Canadian identity. We have lots to be proud of so lets discover what that is and stop diluting our identity with Royals! The Monarchy as Head of State in Canada has a negative affect on Canadians. |
| As an Australian I sympathise with your cause. As a guy, I like your reliance on violence to get your message across. But most importantly as a bored office-worker, I thank-you for a Monday morning laugh. |
| Just like to say that the Scots and the Welsh feel exactly the same as you Canadians appear to feel. Keep it up! |
| Let us get rid of queenie. |
| Let us over here in Aotearoa {thats the proper name for enzed } know how you get rid of the monachy bludgers, because we've got the same problem here. |
| I feel the monarchy strips Canadians of the right to be Canada's Head of State and represent our country's top office for themselves. Canadians should not be forced to swear allegiance to a foreign queen that does not even represent them. Instead they should be loyal to their country: Canada. In actuality, the monarchy being in Canada after the fall of the British empire is a result of the imperialism that used to dominate the Commonwealth of Nations when the monarch still had some political power, and tried to keep a grip on its dominions in an attempt to keep the British Empire alive. I will be 17 years old on Canada Day, which is also my birthday. This is something that I'm overwhelmingly proud about, and every Canada Day I always think about how much better Canada would be if we had our own elected Head of State (President of Canada). I've supported such an idea since I started to understand the english language as a young child, and it was augmented when I memorized the geographical location and constitutional status of every independent nation in the world by the time I was 14 1/2 years old and found that only 15 nations in the entire world, including Canada lacked their on Head of State because they were still under the British monarchy. This made me feel embarrassed about our present constitutional status because we have lower status compared to the other 197 nations that do have their own Head of State.I have a good feeling that this will drop down to zero and stay at zero permanently. Also, in the overall picture of the world, there are 147 republics(East Timor included), 64 monarchies, and 1 ecclesiastical state(which is Vatican City), which makes a total of 212 independent countries in the world. Presently in the Commonwealth of Nations, there are 32 republics, 7 monarchies with their own monarch(including Britain), and 15 dominions that don't have their own Head of State because they are under the British monarchy. This shows that the Commonwealth is mostly made up of republics, compared to how it was predominantly dominions when it started early in the 20th century. That's an impressive change that happened in just a short period of time after India's independence. Moreover, Prince Charles may not succeed as Head of the Commonwealth, thereby forcing it to be changed to an elected position in the future. As a republic, we will be able to represent ourselves as a distinctly independent nation separate from the U.S. or U.K. on the international stage. |
| I like Shane better than the queen. I am the ruler of my own skin. |
