hopefully someday we can move completely past the last remnants of the monarchy. we don't need some useless figurehead like a Governor General which in reality is just a waste of taxpayer money, and it'd be nice to stop correcting foreigners when they call our leader president instead of prime minister. we dropped the union jack from our flag over 40 years ago, it's a shame we haven't done more to distance ourselves yet
If someone is going to appear on our money, they should at the very least have been a Prime Minister, not a perennial noise-maker.
