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 do occasionally. I get cash from relatives for my birthday and Christmas and still prefer to pay for cabs with cash. If I want cash, I usually take out $100 and spend cash til I run out. I have a full set of King Charles coins

Sole proprietors do.
