MODERATORS
They made a pretty good choice with Viola Desmond for the 10.
King Charles is the traditional pick, but considering how well the $10 note was received, you'd think they'd pick someone better than the current king of England
Charles isn't on Canadian currency because he's the King of England. He's on Canadian currency because he's the King of Canada.
Personally, I'm all for abolishing the monarchy and creating an elected head of state. Then we should do those cool wildlife images someone else posted here.
They're going to put Terry Fox on the Five. I think will likely be better received.
I suspect once people are used to that, they'll make another try at replacing MacDonald on the Ten. If people get up in arms over that, then they have to explain why they were fine with removing Laurier, but are upset over removing MacDonald.
I misread traditional pick as traditional prick
Also holds the title of King of Canada.
Along with a few other titles.
Not sure who is down voting you because you are right. Charles isn't on Canadian currency because he's the King of England. He's on Canadian currency because he's the King of Canada.
Edit: typo
The Bank of Canada has had at least one monarch on the bill face since its formation.
Still, it's the leader of our country.
Wtf are you talking about. Stay in school.
Head of State, not leader.
Still the highest office/leader.
If he wanted to be more actively involved he could.
Could he? I'm pretty sure that if he tried, we just wouldn't have a king or governor general anymore.
