, a former British colony, will next week ditch Queen Elizabeth as head of state, breaking its last remaining imperial bonds with Britain nearly 400 years since the first English ship arrived at the Caribbean island.and 15 other realms including the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and Jamaica, as a sign of confidence and a way to finally break with the demons of its colonial history.
It may also be a harbinger of a broader attempt by other former colonies to cut ties to the British monarchy as it braces for the end of Elizabeth's nearly 70-year-old reign and the future accession of Charles, who will attend the republican celebrations in Bridgetown.
More than 10 million Africans were shackled into the Atlantic slave trade by European nations between the 15th and 19th centuries. Those who survived the often brutal voyage, ended up toiling on plantations. "This will have consequences particularly within the English-speaking Caribbean," said Drayton, who pointed to talk of a republic in both Jamaica and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
It's time for Canada to do the same. ... The British Monarchy has NO BUSINESS in Canada.
Then explain why the GOP in the USA is trying so hard to install a Monarch? Anyone wanting to dump the Monarchy has no clue why we have one in the first place. Has no clue as to the practical implications of our form of Parliamentary Governance.
Canada should have done this years ago
What's so funny about ditching the queen? Feed the hungry; Not the monarchy!
Why is this not us...😑
I want that for us
JustinTrudeau This right here should be top 3 on your to do list. I’m sure i’m not the only one who has had enough of this royal family crap.
Canada needs to do the same. Pronto.
Us next please 🇨🇦
This is the time for Canada to do the same, to really take part in reconciliation and step away from the crown & monarchy and become an independent country or Republic showing independence strength and direction as a County!!
JennJefferys Royal Trash.
Welcome to the republican world Barbados
How much do we pay a year to say we have a Queen?
Canada next
Good for them! Canada next, please. The monarchy is a useless, inherently undemocratic institution that has no place in the modern world.
Bravo
Now Canada needs to do the same
Canada next.
Why can't Canada do the same, we really do not need a Monarchy!😐
Canada’s turn next !
Waiting for a Trump style populist and eventual dictator...
I hope Canada does the same SOON. We shouldn't have to take an oath to the G-D queen of England to become a citizen of Canada.
Barbados has more balls than Canada...good for them. In Canada we are still in love with the corrupt colonial system that was imposed on us hundreds of years ago. We tear down statues of colonial times, but we maintain the system an call the gg 'excellency' 🤦♂️
I guess RIHANNA WELL BE CONSIDERED AS THE NEW QEEN
