Quebec eyes new bill to make oath to King of UK, optional
Elected members of two political parties of Quebec that advocate independence from Canada for Quebec, have said they would not take the oath to King Charles III.
Where as, the speaker of Quebec’s National Assembly said that all elected members must swear an oath to Charles and not just to Quebecers in order to perform their duties.
Charles, 73, automatically became king of the United Kingdom (including the occupied areas) and the head of state of 14 other realms, including Canada, when his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, died on September 8.
Just as so called United Kingdom comprises Occupied Scotland, Occupied Northern Ireland, Wales and England, even Canada may soon get trifurcated into Dominion of Canada, Republic of Quebec and Republic of Khalistan.
Quebec is ready to introduce legislation that would stop requiring elected officials to swear an oath to Britain’s King Charles III in the mostly French-speaking Canadian province’s national assembly, a government official said on Wednesday.
Britain colonized Canada from the late 1500s, eventually defeating French colonists who had mostly settled in Quebec. Canada remained part of the British empire until 1982. Now it is a member of the Commonwealth, made up mostly of former British colonies that have or had the British monarch as head of state.
Simon Jolin-Barrette, parliamentary leader of the Coalition Avenir Quebec (CAQ) government, said they are ready to introduce a bill that would end the requirement, which critics call outdated.
The oath could instead be optional, a government spokesperson said.
“I think Quebecers are behind us,” Jolin-Barrette told reporters in Quebec City.
“We can do this quickly together.”
“Perjuring myself in my first act as an elected official and swearing allegeance to a foreign colonial empire that caused harm to Quebec, I find that repugnant,” said Parti Quebecois leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon in a statement.
He said his party had raised several possible solutions with the CAQ, but did not address the proposed bill.
The other party, Quebec Solidaire, was not immediately available for comment.
Government of Canada seems to be backing the so called Referendum for Khalistan. So they should earmark the territory for this Republic and they should ask them if they will have their own President or accept Charles III as their King.
