    Queen Elizabeth of England dead at 96.

    I will just add that Canada is likely to remain a monarchy long after it is abolished in either Australia, or the UK if it ever decides to abolish the monarchy. You mention voting in a referendum that was designed to canvas options on possible government models that do not rely on a monarch as...

    Queen Elizabeth of England dead at 96.

    I started to draft a response to your thoughtful comment, but it was getting too long winded and had many points that are really not germane to the majority of expats who do not hail from a commonwealth country, like yourself or I. I understand the unintended consequences argument. I think there...

    Queen Elizabeth of England dead at 96.

    It's a good question and a tough one given that we have a complex parliamentary, federal system of government with many sovereign indigenous nations. I think Canadians should decide that for themselves, with the understanding that the First Nations peoples have treaty, constitutional and...

    Queen Elizabeth of England dead at 96.

    1.Our constitutional position vis a vis the UK is exactly the same as Australia's. It was only in 1982 that Canada "patriated" our constitution, the British North America Act 1867. Prior to 1982, if any government in Canada (federal or provincial, we are a federation like the US and Argentina)...

    Queen Elizabeth of England dead at 96.

    He is our Prime Minister, not our head of state. Our parliamentary system is quite different from the US (or Argentina's) federal republican model. Our democracy is based on the Westminster model. That being said, without disclosing my political leanings, I have never voted for him. I don't have...

    Queen Elizabeth of England dead at 96.

    As someone who had to swear allegiance to her twice (I am Canadian and she is our head of state), when I was called to the Bar of the Law Society of Upper Canada and when I was hired as a government lawyer, I wish I could say I was released from that oath. Unfortunately, you are made to swear...

    Tennis club recommendations? I live in the Palermo Hollywood area.

    Hi. I own a condo in Palermo Hollywood since 2017. Unfortunately I haven't been able to visit since late Jan. 2020 due to the pandemic but (fingers crossed) I am hoping by January things will be settled enough to travel (from Canada). We have very high vaccinations rates, (almost 90% of our...

    Hello: I am a new member although I purchased an apartment 2.5 years ago. I generally spend about 2 months per year in BA. To date, I have been able to pay my expenses and Edenor online through Edenor Digital. I easily transferred the Edenor account to my name at the Edenor office in Palermo...
