I did not indicate that she did not have to present a passport.

Your focus on religion is irrelevant. Most PM's over the last century have been Roman Catholic, which is at best around 50% of the population. Does that mean they do not represent the other half of the population?

Your inattention to what I wrote is very instructive on the rest of what you post...you anecdotal story about your mother is simply that. And while I think long term Canada need a "Head of State" solution, here is my anecdotal story. My ancestors came from European Empires (none of which exist post WWI) that they were only too happy to leave, and be accepted by a country where they to swore allegiance to a Monarch (oddly enough blood relatives to the empires they left) that didn't send troops to their town to pillage, round up, and otherwise terrorize them

Your post was convoluted, and "cute"...
