RTaylor said:I don't have any feelings for the Queen myself, well, any good ones. She's just a figurehead for tradition for Canada and has been the center of debate for years whether Canada should sever the ties with the Monarchy.
Since she represents Canada I'd salute her, but not because she's part of the Royal Family as they should have no bearing in Canada, except as foriegn officers and the like. If push came to shove she has no say over the Canadian Miltary as it now stands (from what I understand, has no real political power at all), and that's all that matters to me.
I guess that's another choice you'll have to make before you sign the line, then. She in fact DOES have a pretty high position in the food chain, and if you can't, in good conscience, swear true allegiance to that position, I guess you may as well not waste the recruiters ink.
