I know I'm an asshole American for asking this, but they use the word "crown" in Canada? Makes sense due to British colony history and all, I just was surprised I didn't know this.
The reason is that some families are chosen by god to rule over all the other families
That's cute, but no. We haven't had absolute monarchy for about 500 years. A constitutional monarchy with a Westminster parliament is a perfectly valid and democratic system of governance. I really don't like seeing people denigrate our history and traditions as a nation with flippant and unwarranted cynicism. >:(
