Canadian Monarchy Should Be Abolished Essay
Good morning/afternoon Mr/Madam. Moderator, patient timekeeper, honourable judges, worthy opponents, interested onlookers, and my most esteemed colleague. Today, we are debating the resolution be it resolved that the Canadian Monarchy should be eliminated. We, the affirmative team, strongly believe this resolution must and will fall.
First off, we would like to define the resolution.
We define Canadian Monarchy as the ruling of Canada by a King or Queen and eliminated as completely remove or to get rid of.

a) the Queen is just a figure head and has no real power …show more content…
Do you know how much it costs to support the monarchy? $1.53 per person anually. That may not seem like much, but in total, we Canadians pay over 54 million dollars. That number is skyrocketing and is expected to double in the next 10 years. On the other hand, the British only pay about $1.32. The Queen is first and foremost the Queen of England. Why should Canadians have to pay more than the British. I mean its their Queen.
Canadians have to pay for the Queen, her representative the Governor General, and the lieutenant governors of the provinces. The different roles create an overlap which results in obsolete positions and results in money wasted. For example, the B.C costs a huge amount of money to maintain a 102 room official residence for its lieutenant governor. Eliminating the British monarchy would save that money formore important things, like health care, or feeding one of the 1 in every 8 families that struggle to put food on the table. I would rather feed hungry people than pay for the residence of a lieutenant
