King Charles has said he will not stand in the way if Australia wishes to replace him as the country’s head of state, it has been reported.

Ahead of his visit later this month, the king is said to be adopting an “anti-confrontational approach” to Australian republican campaigners, the Daily Mail reported.

    Canadians don’t feel strongly enough to go through the hassle of rewriting our Constitution.

      Fuck, if we tried it some asshole in Alberta would probably sneak in language that vaccinations are illegal and masks cause cancer. Let’s not open that can of worms when we’ve got batshit insane conservatives about to seize power.

        Yeah our constitution needs to stay closed until some sense of sanity returns to politics here, and I don’t see that happening for a long time.

        I’d be satisfied if we got monarchs off our money, and removed them from public life as much as possible without amending the constitution. If I don’t have to look at it Im happy

      No, Canadians don’t have any sort of party which can bring about any change. Most of us hate the monarchy
