I'm sure we'll become a republic some day... but not for a few years yet..ACpaulhpaulhAC
So they're part of the Commonwealth.. but dont have Queeny as the head of their country...
I am Canadian, and I can assure you that the head of state is Queen Elizabeth II. The republican movement in Canada is relatively weak and is made up of some infrequently vocal malcontents.
Ah... I didnt realise. Down here the Republicans are quite a bit bigger...but suffered a major defeat during a referendum a year or so ago....
Well, the republicans up here have been watching events Down Under keenly. A lot of them hoped it would lead to a republic, because that would bolster the opinion up here.
