Perhaps its time to do away with the GG and all its trappings and ceremony ?
What is the benefit to the country ? Other than some emotional and nostalgic attachment to a dated European Monarchy that is irrelevant to modern Canada society.
Well for starters you would have to completely re-write the whole constitution of the country which based off how well that has gone the couple times they tried to change it since Trudeau senior forced the current one down our throats I don't see that happening any time soon. They set a exceptionally high bar to to meet (which they didn't meet in the first place) and with the way our democracy is structured I don't see it happening. Not to mention any attempt to modify the constitution will result in everyone wanting to throw their two cents in, create their own benefits and entrench them. Native rights either removing them or entrenching them, gay rights, property rights, religious rights or lack there of, modifications to what we consider rights, rewording of legislation such as modifying the Charter to make it easier to override or more difficult, changing the electoral system, etc. basically you name a cause they will want a piece. It is literally creating a new form of government for our country.
Australia which has a much more Republic minded country still hasn't done it due to the difficulties involved in the process and societally they are much closer to it than us.
Much easier to putt along with the status quo which has worked just fine until now thanks to one bad apple. The apple is gone, now made a decision based on merit not nepotism.
The bigger issue I see is that she shall receive 149k a year for the rest of her life due to her service which to me is absolutely insane. Unfortunately politicians get to decide their own pay and benefits and have never ever voted against it.
