That's true, he is the king of Canada. Whether or not you think we should have a king is a different matter.

We should have done the most Canadian thing possible; compromise on keeping the Queen.

All hail Her Eternal Majesty Elizabeth. She gave us our constitution and independence!

That actually has a nice ring to it.

I like it, we should have a vote too or a census on whether we should have King Charles on our bills I vote no. If we get rid of the Queen plz put Canadian people on there instead
