November 2020 Canada Republic Update

Another B.C. Provincial election is over. The MLAs elected, now, need only to, under federal law, in conjunction with the dictates of the British Monarchy, pledge an oath of allegiance to the unelected non-domestic head of state. An amendment for B.C. MLAs to pledge an oath of allegiance to the Constitution of Canada, not a signatory to it, and her heirs; is long overdue. The court should be petitioned, and the court should instruct the government to legislate an amendment, if one is not initiated by the government. Judges too, pledge allegiance to the Monarch, not to the Constitution, and should be subject to the same amendment, in order to ensure impartiality in judgements of cases involving politics. The Charter of Rights should protect political philosophies held by Canadians that may or may not be the same as those held by the British Monarchy. The documents may be in Ottawa, but if politicians and judges are pledged to the Monarch rather than the concepts within the Charter of Rights, it is erroneous to think that the Constitution of Canada is patriated in a legal sense.
