Canada Crown. All Army badges and emblems are switching over.

 

[Kilted]

Ugh, everything will probably be switched over by the time the Conservatives form government and get rid of the Trudeau crown, resulting in everything needing to be replaced again.

 

[McG]

We will waste a lot if everything is rebranded every time government switches between parties. We are on this path now. Don’t need to go back.

It is uniquely Canadian, and not tied to British heraldry, so it should be something that serves the test of time regardless of who is in power.

It is considered very controversial and somewhat ugly in heraldic circles. There is the expectation that the next Conservative government will scrape it and replace it with the Tudor Crown as the King was not properly consulted with the use of the Trudeau Crown.

I missed the fact it was still the Dominion of Canada…

Canada is a sovereign nation. It needs to act like it.

It is still the Dominion of Canada and the King gets to choose which heraldic crown will represent him.

"Dominion" has be scrapped from Federal law since 1951 and it stopped being relevant in 1931. The last piece of it all died with Canada Day was officially renamed in 1982. It doesnt appear in law, or the constituation here or in Britain. The UK refers to Canada as a Realm of the Commonwealth.

It is used in the Constitution Act, 1867, which is still in force. Just because it is not regularly used, does not mean that it is not still a legal title.

M’eh. It’s basically a Tudor crown with maple leaves slapped on it. Considering what kind of other made-by-committee abominations we could have ended up with, it’s not the worst design.

It is a duplication of effort though since there was an existing design.

Side note, the Winnipeg Police Service switched to a Tudor crown last year or so. Will they now have to switch to a maple crown now?

Well this will improve our fighting capabilities...
