Well, I will admit that I thought the Dems and Republicans evolved from the old style Tory and Wig parties which to my understanding were based on the British parties. Or am I wrong?

Thank you JSF. Your lesson there almost makes me want to look up Canadian history. If I do that will be tomorrow. Too late tonight for that sort of reading.

I am curious of your answers to a few things:
Are Canadian citizens British subjects?
Is Canada part of the United Kingdom?
Are your legal documents referencing your leader as the Queen?
Do Canadians pledge allegiance to the Queen?


I also wonder how Australians would answer, but they were a penal colony.

To answer questions JSF is simple,

1. No. We are not British subjects.

2. No. Canada is not part of the United Kingdom

3.No. Legal documents reference the Prime Minister or other heads of Provincial governments.

4. No. We do not pledge allegence to the Queen

I will add this. Canada is part of the British Commonwealth the same as Australia and New Zealand but that is a separate entity from the UK.

Edited to add: It is now known as "Commonwealth of Nations" but if you look up the members. All are former colonies of Great Britian.

Is your currency adorned with Canadians, English Royalty, neither, or both?

The Queen is on the back of the loonie and on the $20. Other bills have former Prime Ministers on them and beavers on nickels, caribou on quarters and the Blue Nose which is an old sailing ship on dimes. Twoonies also have Liz on the back and a polar bear on the front. Other coins at different times of the year have memorials on them to WW I and II, also a special twoonie was put out when Nunavut was created.

And your point is JSF?
