It’s true that we look like aliens. But we have something to sayargued his spokesman, Karim Al-Dahdah, in an interview on Tuesday on the show All in one morningon ICI Premiere.

Hours before the bill to make the controversial oath optional in the National Assembly was presented, the spokesman for the Monarchist League of Canada in Quebec denounced a one-sided public debate from which the monarchist vote was excluded.

According to him, only one message was hammered out, the oath is obsolete, archaicbut nothing on the meaning of the symbol the Monarchist League has fought for since its inception in 1970.

We are supporters of Canadian unity, we are committed to Canadian heritage, symbols and traditionssummed up Mr. Al-Dahdah plaintively a rage against the monarchy.

” Nothing is more Canadian than the monarchy…as Canadian as maple syrup, Niagara Falls, hockey. »

Outdated for some, still represents the monarchy a bond with history, traditions, folkloredeclared this supporter of the national union. By definition, traditions are timeless, they are long-term, […] it is something that is part of our identity.

In addition, Mr Al-Dahdah said he was shocked by certain information in the media that he believed to be false. We’re talking about an oath by the King of England, but he’s the Canadian head of state, he’s not a foreign monarch he’s defending. The monarch is the embodiment of the Canadian state, the rule of law, democracy.

When Charles III. When he became king, he not only took on the habit of Head of State of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth, but also that of the Anglican Church, a title strategically well remembered Stirring up passions, bringing back the old demons of the past and positioning the PQ and Mr. St-Pierre Plamondon as victims, martyrs of the nationalist cause.

Last Wednesday, Prime Minister François Legault confirmed his government’s intention to pass a law abolishing the obligation for MPs to take the oath to King Charles III.

That day, the three deputies from the Parti Québécois could not enter the Blue Room because the sergeant-at-arms of the National Assembly had barred them from entering for failing to take the oath to the king. For her part, National Assembly Speaker Nathalie Roy stressed that it is up to the elected officials to change the rules, not the presidency.

The minister responsible for democratic institutions, Jean-François Roberge, is scheduled to hold a press conference on Tuesday afternoon on the presentation of the draft law recognizing the oath of respect provided for in the law to the National Assembly as the only obligatory oath.
