It's okay. We invaded, captured Washington, and burned down your Pink House before deciding to give it all back to you because we were nice. We're even!
...except for pointing out that the Queen is still on most of your currency despite today's reason for celebration and I fail to see how independent one can be when lip service is still given to the Queen... wait, what was that noise? Oh, FWHEW! Canadian assassins are more polite than the US ones. They're actually knocking at the door instead of just shooting me through my window. 'course, they lack the firearm to do it right, but... what the hell, I'll go let them in.
...oh holy crap they've sent a moose!!!! A Canadian Moose! They're not like Maine Moose... there's froth in his mouth! ACKKKK!!!!......
- Jame....urg. Ow, stop it! You're sh!tting all over the living room! Jeebus, Bullwinkle, whatever happened to your vaunted manners? Oh, is that it? Well... I ... urk....!!!
enh, having the queen as the head of state is kind of like your grandmother being the matriarch/head of the family. She's kindly and old and you so rarely see her, and both she and you know she's not the one who's really in charge. Hell, she doesn't even live in your house. That's what your scary emotionless dad is for.
I'm cool with the monarchy. It's not like in Britain, where some of your taxes are actually going to keeping them housed, guarded, bejemmed, etc. In Canada, they're just a delightful eccentricity. "Oh, you have a Guam? Isn't that nice. We have a queen, you know!"
