Join Monarchist League of YouTube - www.youtube.com If you want more information on the monarchy then please visit my channel - www.youtube.com MONARCHY IN CANADA From the days of earliest settlement the only form of society Canadians have known has been a monarchy. The native people themselves had a tribal idea of kingship. Our tradition of monarchy was French and British and became, as it now is, distinctly Canadian. In 1867 Canadians freely and deliberately reaffirmed their allegiance to the Monarchy. They have done so at each subsequent stage in their political development. The Constitution of Canada declares that the Government of Canada and the Commander in Chief of the Forces are vested in the Queen. Her Majesty is one of three parts of the Parliament of Canada (Queen, Senate and Commons). She is Sovereign of the Order of Canada, Sovereign of the Order of Military Merit, Colonel-in-Chief of numerous units of the Canadian Forces, Honorary Commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and Patron of many institutions and organizations in various walks of Canadian life. The Queen succeeded to the Throne in 1952. She assumed the separate title "Queen of Canada" by Act of Her Canadian Parliament 1953. She was crowned 1953 and became the first Sovereign to open the Parliament of Canada in person 1965, and proclaimed the National Flag of Canada 1965. Presided at the Centenary of Canadian Confederation 1967. Opened the Montreal Olympics 1976. Celebrated Her Silver ...

May 27th, 2010 President Calderon of Mexico, along with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, addressed Canadian Parliament on the issues of Integration, protectionism, nationalization, globalization, labour mobility and the many successes of NAFTA and the Canada-Mexico Partnership (CMP). Calderon here on a 3 day stay, will be doing his best to demonstrate to the Canadian elite that Mexico not only has the desire but also the means to be a serious player in the North American Union. Instead of talking about Chocolate, this time Calderon shared a story about the Monarch butterfly and how they symbolize the natural ties between our two countries. Stephen Harper rolled out the red carpet for the Mexican leader and stated to the world "Canada and Mexico Are As One!" The Hon. Peter Milliken, Speaker of the House of Commons, commented during his presentation to Calderon "You Occupy a Seat At The Family Table"... "Mr. President, This Is Your Home- Canada" Peter Milliken demonstrates further ties with Mexico via Inter-Parliamentary meetings and the creation of a Congressional Relations Unit to work with the Mexican Congress as a mechanism for closer collaboration in the future. Our Degree of economic integration with Mexico and the United States can be compared against the six stages of typical integration: · Preferential trading area · Free trade area · Customs union · Single market · Economic and monetary union · Complete economic integration "Complete economic integration is ...

House of Commons Votes to Let US Iraq War Resisters Stay in Canada OTTAWA, June 3 /CNW/ The Opposition parties in the House of Commons joined together today to adopt a recommendation which, if implemented, would make it possible for US Iraq War resisters to obtain Permanent Resident status in Canada. The recommendation was adopted by a majority of Members of Parliament from the Liberal, Bloc Québécois, and New Democratic Parties. The Conservatives voted against the motion. The motion, which originated in the House of Commons Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration in December 2007, calls on the government to "immediately implement a program to allow conscientious objectors and their immediate family members...to apply for permanent resident status and remain in Canada; and...the government should immediately cease any removal or deportation actions...against such individuals." Corey Glass, 25, a war resister who came to Canada in 2006 and was recently told to leave Canada by June 12 or face removal to the United States, welcomed the vote. "I'm thankful that the MPs voted to let me and the other war resisters stay in Canada. I'm also thankful to all the Canadians who urged their MPs to support us." "This is a great victory for the courageous men and women who have come to Canada because they refuse to take part in the illegal, immoral Iraq War, and for the many organizations and individuals who have supported this campaign over the past four years," said Lee ...

STORY: After a week of political drama in Canada, it came to this - Parliament suspended and Prime Minister Stephen Harper fending off calls for his resignation. [Ken Dryden, Liberal]: "No! Sorry! It's over, we can't trust you anymore. We need a new prime minister." It started when Liberals and New Democrats - with the support of the separatist Bloc Quebecois - formed an opposition. In heated debates, they vowed to defeat Harper's minority Conservative government - in a confidence vote. The unlikely allies said Harper was not doing enough to cushion the effects of the global financial crisis. Trying to hold on to his job the Prime Minister appealed to the public - in a rare televsison address Wednesday night. [Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada]: "Tonight I pledge to you that Canada's government will use every legal means at our disposal to protect our democracy, to protect our economy and to protect Canada." Liberal leader Stephane Dion - the man who would become prime minister if the coalition succeeded in ousting Harper's government - responded. [Stephane Dion, Liberal Leader]: "I will work day and night to combat this economic crisis, to do what it takes to minimize its effects on Canadians, to protect jobs and to create jobs." Thursday morning, Harper arrived at the residence of Canadian Governor General Michaelle Jean. Against the urging of the coalition, Jean agreed to Harper's rare request to suspend Parliament. As the representative of Canada's head of ...
