They did also do a national competition to open it up to the public to submit designs for it instead of having a secret committee do it quietly on the side.Don't forget that when Canada got its Maple Leaf flag in the mid-60's, there was a fair bit of opposition to losing the old flag, too, with six weeks of Commons debate & filibustering leading to a 163 to 78 vote in favour of it. "Why can't things be like in the old days?" isn't a new thing in heraldry here
And it STILL took 6 weeks of debate.
100% because people still chose from the submissions and some might not have liked the choice as well as some not wanting to change it in the first place.
True dat - even though some folks got heard, the House vote alone shows how divisive it was, for sure.
Wait... what!!!?? Like what happened in Russia in 1917, or just "here's your eviction notices and applications for council housing".
Never mind the GoC, the RCN would come up with another shitty moustache badge disaster.

Words matter
Our monarchy is completely seperate from the British monarchy system now. There is a reason the title is King of Canada, not King of the United Kingdom and Canada.
Hence my only fear of 24 Sussex being torn down in favour of a new build.

Isn't the change to the Coat of Arms? It might impact CWO/C1 ranks (if the thread/stitching is even that distinct in that size) but I seriously doubt anyone is making people change their WO/P1 or MWO/C2 ranks.
And there is almost zero chance that the Army officers' crowns will be changed. I can barely make them out as is
While true, the Succession to the Throne Act essentially aligns our succession with the UK (and similar legislation does the same for other Commonwealth realms). However that being the case, it also means Canada could conceivably decide to identify someone else as Sovereign or heir.

That‘s what you call a constitutional crisis. The Canadian Constitution simultaneously requires both “a Constitution similar in principle to that of the United Kingdom” and unanimous consent of all provinces and the federal parliament to changes to “the office of the Queen”.
