Cause I don’t believe in a family having inherited billions that was pillaged through slavery and colonization.

What official role exactly, does he play in Canadian politics?

In explicitly politics? Not much. But as a royal dignitary, he’s entitled to a host of benefits reserved for the Monarch and their representatives.

While Canada might not pay money directly to the monarchy, the country’s ties to the House of Windsor could cost taxpayers more than $58.7 million annually.

The $58.7 million would not cover more recent costs to taxpayers, like then-Prince Charles’ three-day visit to Canada in May 2022, which totalled at least $1.4 million or more.

…

In 2022, the Canadian government also spent nearly $400,000 on hotel rooms during the funeral for Queen Elizabeth II; a figure that included a luxurious $6,000-a-night river-view suite for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife.

Governor General Mary Simon, who is the monarch’s representative in Canada, racked up an over $80,000 catering bill with her entourage during a March 2022 trip to the Middle East that reportedly cost more than $1.3 million, according to the National Post. The newspaper also reported that Simon’s first official overseas trip to a German book fair in Oct. 2021 fair cost taxpayers over $700,000.

Other recent monarchy-related costs have still not been released, or are not yet available, like those associated with the RCMP giving a horse to King Charles as a gift in March, as well as costs tied to sending a Canadian delegation to the King’s upcoming May 6 coronation ceremony. In 2022, Canadian taxpayers also bankrolled Platinum Jubilee celebrations to mark Queen Elizabeth’s 70 years on the throne, which included a $187,500 grant to the Monarchist League of Canada to distribute 70,000 educational booklets. The Royal Canadian Geographical Society has received $257,000 in similar educational funding to celebrate King Charles’ coronation.

As brother to King Charlies, whose personal incomes were estimated at around £20 million/year as of 2023, its safe to assume he’s influential purely based on his enormous personal fortune. How much of a role a second-son to a British Billionaire actually plays is always up for debate. Andrew’s a notorious fuck-up and moron, so you’d like to think he doesn’t play a significant role in UK-Canadian relations. But Canada’s got its own crop of idiots and assholes - several also tied up in the Epstein scandal. So who is to say what he’s been up to behind the scenes?

Pillaged through slavery? I’m of who cares. I do not want to be a republic. And if we got rid of the monarchy we would replace it with a president with no power like the GG so who cares.

Who prints the bills?

A lot of privileged Canadians are discomforted by the possibility of putting themselves at risk to do the right thing. Canada is an extractive enterprise, nothing more. People have meaningful lives within it, but this system is evil and this man’s ability to rape with impunity is directly connected to the existence of a monarchy in Canada’s constitution. It’s true that removing the monarchy from this system would be dangerous to people who benefit from colonialism, including every able-bodied, well-off, white, cishet Canadian citizen. To say that it would somehow introduce new dangers to the rest of us works to occlude that the current objective of the Canadian state is indeed eradication of other groups. As a liberal state, it certainly appropriates inclusivity and “progress” into its aesthetics. Make no mistake though, this is a tactic it uses to assimilate groups it does not want to exist.

If Canada cannot exist without colonialism, then it should not exist. Period. If you hate that idea, then you should think hard about what your morals are. Can you live with yourself if you truly care more about your own status over the wellbeing of everyone else in the world?

Canada is your mom and I’m inside of her.

And just like my mom, it’s evil and abusive with terrible taste in men.

And dripping wet on both sides.

That’s an uninformed question. Canada does not have a monarchy and it is no longer a “dominion”. There are historical traces and current practices, mostly based on respect and civility. Look back at any individual or group over time. There are always atrocities. We should fight the monster we can see, not the dead one that is being discussed.
