I’d order one just cause .. Where do you put in your request ?
Just google “portrait of the Queen” and you’ll get to a government of Canada website. Scroll to the
very bottom and you should find an email address there. Just email them that you would like a
portrait of the Queen sent to you and provide your address. Don’t expect an email response but
within three weeks you should get your portrait. If you want, you can also get a portrait of Prince
Philip on his own. And a portrait of the queen with prince Philip together.
Consequently you can also get a copy of the charter of rights and freedoms and the old bill of
rights sent to you as well. But you have to Google a different government website to order those.

[–] Im_A_Cringy_Bastard [score hidden] 50 minutes ago
The Queen is an hereditary monarch; I don't believe in that. Nobody is born better than
anybody else, because in Canada we believe that everyone is created equal. We don't
believe in inherited rights.
The Queen is not better than anyone else, and no credible authority would endorse
such a view. However, constitutional monarchs such as Canada's are born to serve, in a
life of service. Unlike many, they have no choice in their destiny. One might think of
this as a sacrifice rather than a privilege. Every word uttered, every action taken or
not, and, trivially but truly, every nuance of dress or expression will be photographed,
circulated around the world and commented upon—often inaccurately and sometimes
cruelly—for an entire lifetime. In this sense we might admire rather than deprecate the
hereditary tradition of the Crown.
At the same time, accompanying this inevitable destiny is another reality: training from
shortly after birth to meet the duties and expectations of the sovereign's role. Many
others receive a very general education, then subsequently perhaps choose some
specialties to study and yet very often end up following an occupation quite different
than anything that had imagined or been trained for. Monarchs have the advantage of
long-term preparation to do their best in a demanding task.
It is true that some of our fellow citizens will always resent an hereditary monarch,
whether for their inherited privilege or for other reasons—but then, the popularity
figures for elected prime ministers and presidents usually run 20 or more points below
that of our Queen—not a bad result in a critical, media-driven world. Nobody pretends
that the hereditary principle will guarantee great monarchs. However, the Canadian
experience in the nearly 150 years since Confederation suggests that it remains the
best way we have to ensure impartiality at the apex of today's constitutional
arrangements, which Canadians chose to reaffirm in 1982, whereby we permanently
lend our power to the sovereign to exercise for on our behalf.
A very compelling summary defence of the hereditary principle has been made by
French Canadian historian and educator, Fr Jacques Monet, SJ in his article "The
Canadian Monarchy" which was included in The West and the Nation: Essays in Honour
of W. L. Morton:
A king is a king, not because he is rich and powerful, not because he is a successful
politician, not because he belongs to a particular creed or to a national group. He is
King because he is born. And in choosing to leave the selection of their head of state to
this most common denominator in the world—the accident of birth—Canadians
implicitly proclaim their faith in human equality; their hope for the triumph of nature
over political manoeuvre, over social and financial interest; for the victory of the
human person.

Personally I think breeding our leaders isn't such a bad idea.

I am filling my office walls up with random things I have requested from the Government, which will
soon have 3 new additions (HRM and the Duke).
You can also request a letter from Trudeau for anniversaries/birthdays: https://pm.gc.ca/eng/connect

What other free stuff will the government send you? What about provincial governments?
As I’m sitting in the hospital this makes my day! Hopefully the Charter, Bill of Rights and my Queen
portrait will be there when I get home!

Every year we are reminded of these.

I hope we don't deplete the stock this time, because then it will actually cost tax dollars to restock.

[–] coffeeNgunpowder [score hidden] 7 minutes ago
I ordered one so I have something less valuable than toilet paper to wipe my ass with.
Nobody remembers the Panama papers revealing that she avoids paying taxes bu holding offshore
accounts. Fuck the queen.

Can we get a portrait of a Canadian instead? I'm thinking Tricia Helfer...

You can try and get a portrait of princess Margret of the Netherlands. She was actually born in
Ottawa while in exile because of WWII. The government of Canada actually ceded the maternity
ward at the hospital to the Dutch so she can still be born at Dutch citizen.
[–] cardew-vascular [score hidden] 1 hour ago
Technically we didn't cede the ward to the Dutch it was temporarily declared to be
extraterritorial by the Canadian government. Making the maternity ward outside of the
Canadian domain caused it to be unaffiliated with any jurisdiction and technically international
territory. This was done to ensure that the newborn would derive her citizenship from her
mother only, thus making her solely Dutch, which could have been very important if the child
had been male, and as such, the heir of Princess Juliana. It is a common misconception that
the Canadian government declared the maternity ward to be Dutch territory. Since Dutch
nationality law is based primarily on the principle of jus sanguinis it was not necessary to make
the ward Dutch territory for the Princess to become a Dutch citizen. Since Canada followed the
rule of jus soli, it was necessary for Canada to disclaim the territory temporarily so that the
child would not become a Canadian citizen.
