Well then. I suppose it would be just fine if we had a Prime Minister living in Nigeria. As long as he has Canadian citizenship, everything is cool, right?

So, then how exactly do we "serve" the royals? I'm pretty sure nothing I've ever done has served them in any way.

We exist as a country because what was Canada in 1776 simply didn't want to join the US in rebellion - more likely a case of the situation under the British being comfortable enough vs. an unknown situation with the Americans, than there being any particular
loyalty to the British - remember that it was of course a French colony just a few years prior.
(cool story: had it not been for the off-putting behaviour of American Brigadier General David Wooster in Montreal, we likely
would be American)
