The new crown is not as bad as I thought it would. be, however, I agree there should have been some consultation outside of the Ottawa bubble.
I wouldn't rush to replace anything with it just yet, let's see if it survives the next Conservative government.

there you go. stick with the Tudor and skip the cost of switching up all the cap badges and such. bad call by HM in my opinion. not a good way to try to stay modest and relevant with the public who are steadily becoming tired of the monarchy.
good news would be don't have to change up cap badges between Tudor and St Edwards crowns. which is totally stupid and wasteful, bad call by HM.
Canada doesn't have to follow the British lead, they can keep St. Edward's crown as the crown of Canada. No need to go through the expense of changing all the crowns on hat badges, insignia, etc. (IMO). The Crown of Canada is separate from the Crown of Great Britain. Just because the gov't doesn't have to change it, they probably will anyway.

You know, I'm a staunch supporter of the institution of the Crown, and its place in our society. Meh, WRT Charlie and Camilla - and Willie and Kate for that matter.
I don't dislike the idea of a Canadian Crown, and a Royal Standard for Canada, with distinctive Canadian symbols.
TBH I was expecting more unicorns, rainbows and snowflakes. But I quite like both the Canadian Crown and the new Royal Standard. They hark back to the roots by gently ease in a separate direction.
And, we already have a Unicorn in our heraldry

Do you understand the concept the one person can hold multiple SEPARATE offices?
This is that case. King Charles is King of Canada.
King Charles is also King of the UK and the Head of the Anglican Church.
One does not bleed over into the other.

Additionally, His Majesty is not the head of the Anglican Church of Canada. He has no role within, as the ACC split with the C of E in 1955.
He sleeps knowing how it actually works though.

Where is Canada, or the position of King of Canada, mentioned anywhere in that link?

IT’S THE SAME PERSON.…JFC…THE SAME PERSON. What part of this do you NOT understand? Where do you think the monarch derives their authority? How can a monarch, whose authority comes from God, be the titular head of an entire religion, and still be a shiny pony agnostic a 5 hour plane ride west?

Man, you people are thick.
I can grab my kid's geography puzzle and show you that Canada and England are very separate countries.
Additionally, like I mentioned before, the Anglican Church of Canada is not a part of the structure of the Church of England . They haven't been s8nce 1955. There, additionally, isn't an official religion of Canada. Ergo, what "Faith" is HM Defending within a Canadian construct?
