Tell me, what did she do that affected your life that badly?
You seem salty...
"Ummm you seem salty about imperialism and exploitation"
I mean, if you wanna word opposition to the exploitation of various nations and their sovereignty as "being salty," be my guest? I guess??? But that's a pretty dumb way of looking at it LMAO

That's not really what I meant :P
What I mean is that even though I'm anti-monarchist and always wanted canada's independance from the queen, I feel shocked about her death not because she is a symbol to me but to the whole world, yes even to me.
I didn't respect her as a queen or as a symbol and I still don't, but still, it's a true shock to see this symbol die. You get what i mean?
Just agreeing with you on the rather crappy comments from the trollish part of the Temp if you care to read it properly...(I admit I started to ramble on afterwards though! :lol:)

Well, as for canada (i know it's the same about australia, don't about other former colonies of uk) we no longer deal with the queen as a supperior.
We have our own "queen" which are their representant, they are called General Governor and Lieutenant-Governor.
We deal with them as the representant of the queen, but in no way are they in direct contact with the queen, AT ALL.
The colonialism ended loooooong before her reign with the Statut of Westminster in 1931, which rendered stuff like being debtful to the crown forever no more, and thus for ALL colonies of the Commonwealth.
We still have the queen as a symbol, but that's it, no former colonies of UK owe anything to the queen/king like they did back in early 1800's

Ah, you seem to think this 'exploitation of various nations and their sovereignty' was the sole doing of Queen Lizzie herself, not anyone before her, and not of the UK government(s) of the time before (or during) her 'reign' .....ookay then!! :rofl:

mmm, that's racist, u forgot german, danish, spanish, italian and Afroamerican descendants too, now waiting for those angry BLM supporters raid you in 3....2......1
I meant as those who are direct descendents of the originals colons, as in those who arrived first
I also said "MAINLY" which means most of them, not all of them
german danish and all those arrived later in new-france, canada and new-england
As for Afroamerican, call me racist or not, they weren't colons, they were slave, and so, they arrived later too
