You are correct about this, Im not disagreeing.

Im just saying it would be nice to have the choice between the traditional oath and a non-royal version for whatever personal reason. “I promise to be loyal, steadfast, and obey the laws of Canada” (etc). Seems like that wouldnt negate the technical role of the monarchy, I dont know.

Even acknowledging that he plays a legal role in how Canada operates (technically) its still ridiculous that anyone would have to do this, or get in trouble for refusing. An oath to obey the laws of a country, sure, but swearing loyalty to an unelected monarch seems like it should be optional at the least.

a lot of people were, but its hard to be heard over all the right wing messaging

I definitely think some of this is the case here with these stories. But the main takeaway should be how important it is to keep Trump the hell out of office again.
