Listen, that’s great but don’t come up here with crazy bullshit.

We have the monarchy on our money. No it’s not going away. Good Friday is a statutory holiday. No, it’s not going away. God is in the anthem, not going away. We have a governor general who is essentially a viceroy. Not going away. Hockey and especially kids hockey is fucking important and municipalities will spend fucktons of money on ice and arenas and no it’s not going away.

If you’re good with all that? Cool. Just don’t decide you need to remake Canada in your preferred image.
