Anglican: Canadians and Leitch

anglican: After all, one definition of barbaric is "possessing or characteristic of a cultural level more complex than primitive savagery but less sophisticated than advanced civilization." Surely, Canadians can exceed this standard, according to Huffington Post Canada. Luckily for Ms. Leitch, accusing her of stoking intolerance and religious bigotry, her goal, on its face, is a noble one. Leitch she need not look far in her battle against barbarism. Catholics are specifically forbidden from succeeding to the throne but the link to the Church of England means any Muslim, Jew, atheist, Hindu, Buddhist, or Sikh is also ineligible, as are the 94% of Canadians who are not Anglican, and thus legally deemed unsuitable to assume the position of Head of Sate of Canada. Canada currently requires new Canadians, Members of Parliament, and members of the Armed Forces to swear to "bear true allegiance, To Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada, Her Heirs and Successors." As any King or Queen must also be Supreme Governor of the Church of England, any new citizen, soldier, or parliamentarian must swear a personal oath of allegiance to a foreign religious figure and her heirs, which in this case means one must promise eternal fidelity to a toddler named George.
