Dominion Day

Tomorrow is Dominion Day and The Monarchist has received a "My Canada" challenge from Celestial Junk to focus on the country's positives. My answers to his questions are listed below:

What is your favorite Canadian natural geographic location?
The Rocky Mountains between British Columbia and Alberta. The Alberta side is the most spectacular including Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper. Preferrably without the tourists.

What do you think is Canada’s most admirable cultural trait?
Her British character and familial connectivity to Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand. You asked for cultural trait so there you have it. I realize that Canada has essentially three faces: the British character, the French character and the modern Liberal character (make that two faces and one farce). The first I love, the second I respect, the third I despise. Modern Liberalism started off nobly enough with an attempt to bridge the two, but went radically and corruptly astray when it decided to replace them with itself. A political party is not a culture and multiculturalism has promoted a fragmented, international free-zone state instead of a more cohesive nation. There is a reason why they call the diseased dominion a one-party state and not a one nation-state.

What is your most memorable Canadian travel experience?
Hiking the West Coast Trail along Pacific Rim National Park.

What is your favorite Canadian hideaway?
Beaver Creek, British Columbia on Vancouver Island. It is where my great grandparents settled in the 1890s after the Pacific National railway was opened in 1886. It was the end of the line. It is where the inland Pacific waters of the Alberni Valley meet the central Vancouver Island mountains of the Beaufort Range. It is God's country. It is where I want to die.

What do you think is Canada’s more admirable political trait?
Her shared parliamentary heritage and political system with that of the other Crown Commonwealth Realms. It is a proud historical fact of Canada that we drafted the British North America Act of 1867 and inherited a political system that derives directly from the Model Parliament of 1295.

What do you think is Canada’s most exciting event?
I don't know if there are any that would classify as exciting. The most memorable event for me in recent years was the patriation of the Unknown Solider from Vimy Ridge in 2000. For me that was moving.

What is the most thrilling experience you have had with Canadian nature?
White-water rafting on the Yukon River.

What, if anything, does Canada hold that you’d lay your life down for?
Her Majesty The Queen of Canada. As the Sovereign and personal representative of the people, she is the central embodiment of all my patriotic love and loyalty to this country. An attack on Her Majesty is an attack on Canada, which is why I see no conflict in advocating the destruction of the current Liberal order and their creeping republicanism by any and all lawful means. Separation if necessary, but not necessarily separation. They must be removed before they replace the Queen with themselves.

What is for you, the single most positive defining characteristic of Canada?
The monarchy. As if you had to ask.
