To sever our country's outdated ties, to create our own symbolic Head of State, would eliminate the false impression that Canadian culture is ideally British, that in this day and age, immigrants from certain parts of Europe or the Commonwealth have some sort of preference or superior status.

Choosing a Head of State from the people for whom this Land is Sacred would formalize an appropriately respectful relationship.
