I'll kind of quote Air Farce on this one:

"Better to have someone you never appointed than an idiot you voted for".

$1:

GG would just become a president or some other term for head of state while the PM would still be head of government

IMO, the position should be given to to a judical body.

An elected judicial body I hope, it's fairly obvious what an unelected judiciary can do to a country.

The monarchy is as useless as the senate , time for all of it to go.

Nothing. When people complain about the monarchy the monarchists are quick to tell is that it is the British taxpayer who picks up the tab.

Well, if it's free, then IMO, then that's exactly what it is worth.

Replacing the GG with a president would cost about the same. That's not really a good reason to remove the position.

I don't want any part of having a president, thank you.

With a Republic you would need a ceremonial head of state. We already have the digs - Rideau Hall. We just need to dump the Queen and change the GG's title.

Long live the Queen. I'm no monarchist but why change tradition just for the sake of it.

You colonials are getting uppity again.

I'd like a little say in who my head of state is, if only to be elected by Parliament. The idea that Chuck and Camilla will be on the throne? Ugh.

Yes, The Queen!

How about we make the GG head of state and change her title from GG to Queen.

Sorry, I don't want a liberal appointee.
