What Exactly Is Canada Mourning?

17 Oct 2022

With one voice Trudeau, the Liberal, Poilievre, the Conservative and Jagmeet Singh, the New Democrat, speak to present the Queen as the person of state, who ensures the stability of the system because she represents the unity of the nation and is above partisan interests and does not interfere in political affairs. [...] Primary and secondary students are particularly sensitive to the stories they are now well aware of related to the residential schools, slavery, suppression of the rebellions of the people of Québec against British rule, of the people of Ontario against British rule, of the Métis, of the brutal acts of war and covert police actions in Ireland and the countries of Africa and Asia and the Caribbean. [...] It is also an example of how the death of the Queen and the ascension of Charles to the throne are used to cover up all the historical crimes of the rule of the monarchy and divert from the need to renew the constitutional order by replacing it with a Constitution adopted by the people that vests the sovereign decision-making power in their hands, not those of a ruling elite. [...] The proclamation was issued on the authority of an order in council to announce the demise of the Crown and the accession to the throne of the new Sovereign. [...] The sovereign acts as a custodian of the Crown's democratic powers and a representation of the "power of the people above government and political parties." The Marxist-Leninist Party of Canada urges its readers to convoke study groups which delve into what the monarchy is in Canada and the essence of the constitutional order it enforces.
