The cost savings alone should be reason enough.
The cost (different numbers from different sources) float around $50 million a year for the GG and then what LG's around $1 million a year.
Now, I don't know how long Canada decides to stay in business but over 20-30 years that's a lot of cake.
While I completely agree with you that this would be costly it is something that I feel should happen or at the very least be discussed. I get that I am a simple man that doesn't have a big interest in politics, but beyond ceremony what does the role of GG or LG bring to the table?
As a Canadian Immigrant and Canadian Veteran I'd be exceptionally happy to see this country separate themselves from the Crown.
