That would be th...Canada has never been a republic. That would be the USA. <br /><br />Canada is variously referred to as a Constitutional Monarchy (the Queen is actually still the head of state) a Parliamentary Democracy, and other such names. The word Federation is sometimes thrown in there, as in "The Articles of Confederation". Neat name there, "CON-Federation", LOL.... :D Have fun with that one.....<br /><br />The USA is a Constitutional Republic. It's not a Democracy as people often incorrectly state. Many "Progressives" would like it to be, strictly speaking a democracy means majority rule. So, if the majority votes for Jews to be taken to camps, it's legal, whereas in a Constitutional Republic or a Constitutional Democracy, the Constitution doesn't allow anything that violates the Constitution even if a majority vote for it.<br /><br />I don't know if the difference between the two terms is all that meaningful, these days we all know that the "democratically elected" governments on both sides of the border are busy and have been for decades eroding the rights and freedoms enshrined under The Constitution. That's how power of time gets stolen from We, The People.<br /><br />In the end people only have, and only keep, the rights they are willing to fight for. Not just to get them in the first place, but to keep them against the slow erosion of them by government, because as we know, Government always seeks to grow itself. It only gains more power over you by taking your freedom and public property.
