How to behave

ROFLMAO, coming from one of the most left-wing, immigrant posters on Terb, who advocates for spending tax money on every social cause, that is just funny.
I guess spending tax payer money is o.k. as long as it is for what you want.
I'd rather spend them on the Royals whom many people are happy to have visit rather than spend it on political junkets of no use.
Perhaps you would like to live in a Republic instead?Unbelievable how our tax $ are spent!
Do you have any idea at all how much the trappings of the Presidency cost the U.S.A.? To begin neither the CAF nor the RAF have a dedicated Royal or Vice-Regal aircraft, the USAF has not one but two dedicated Presidential aircraft.
I would.
Perhaps you would care to explain to us what benefit there is to Canada in
paying for the PR visit by Chuck and his wife.
great way to spend a couple of millions.
We have to pay for their PR events, sending an airbus to pick up
the parasites.
Maybe you could just learn to respect the customs of your adopted country instead of complaining about it so much. Just an idea.
I will take one of your suggestions. May I suggest you do the same for me.
When I moved to Canada, at the request of a canadian company and at
considerable benefit to Canada, I was under the impression that Canada
is a democratic country, where one is free to disagree with the policies
of the government.
Maybe you do not think that freedom should be extended to immigrants?
children of immigrants? grandchildren of immigrants? ?????

The people who enjoyed seeing them don't have a problem with it, the Queen of Canada and her Heir are Canadian I don 't have a problem with it if you do why don't you just ignore it , sort of like you want the people who disagree with you to ignore you.
You are right, and that is what I do. You will not see me in a lineup to
greet prince Charles.
But I think you will agree with me, that if members can post about how
free education and various social programs are a waste of taxpayers money,
then I can also post that I consider the visit by Chuck a waste of taxpayers money.
Royality is taken too seriously
It is only a few million and peasants get pleasure from seeing them
They are part of a bigger history which should be remembered for the good and the bad and are meant to be enjoyed for that reason
Other than that they are useless but I do admire their charities and when they put their life on the line by fighting in a war and they are always in danger of getting their head chopped off
Now why is not the Queen going to open the olympics

Whatever the spend, it's still cheaper than having a Presidency. And being a figure-head only, it makes for a system of government that generally works better, i.e. the government can get things done instead of bickering endlessly over reforms and adding tons of pork-barrel amendments or gutting legislation (like the U.S.).
The beauty of the Queen being head of state is that most of the time she's not here and someone else is footing the bill. Stop whining, the alternative is worse.

Camillia and Big Ears are not the Queen!!! Right
The sovereign similarly only draws from Canadian coffers for support in the performance of her duties when in Canada or acting as Queen of Canada abroad; Canadians do not pay any money to the Queen or any other member of the Royal Family, either towards personal income or to support royal residences outside of Canada.[28] Normally, tax dollars pay only for the costs associated with the Governor General and ten Lieutenant Governors as instruments of the Queen's authority, including travel, security, residences, offices, ceremonies, and the like.[28] In the absence of official reports on the full cost of the monarchy, the Monarchist League of Canada regularly issues a survey based on various federal and provincial budgets, expenditures, and estimates; the 2009 edition found that the institution cost Canadians roughly $50 million in 2008.[29]

Made a bunch of Canadians happy. Got some press coverage for Dundurn Castle, the Haida and some winery out Niagara way (not into wine so I can't recall which one) which can help tourism and sales.
