#1 a Canadian $10 bill features Canada's George Washington, the first prime minister. the $20 bill would have the King, replacing the Queen.

#20 Imagine the new person at work is so shit that you die of cringe the next day.

Haven't found any evidence of that trending on Irish twitter. Funny, though.

Australia's $5 note is staying as the Queen for the foreseeable future but our coins will change to Charles within the next year.

#14 Founding Fathers were Monarchists, who opposed Parliament. That's why the President has so many powers they felt the King should've had.
NoNameFred
And, also, is why they very nearly created the position AS "King", not as "President".

Washington likely could have had the job if he wanted.

He had to come up with Mr. President so they wouldn't call him your majesty, or your Royal Presidency.

#1 It won't- Canada stopped formally recognizing monarchy in the 70's, we extended it to Elizabeth as a courtesy, but no one else

Sadly, they're already showing off prototypes of money with liz's head replaced by jugears down here in Oz.

I really hope Chuck isn't put on the money. I don't want the brother of renowned royal pedophile on my change for the next 1-15 years

I say we call the new coins/notes with Charles on "Chuck bucks". Also, we can now say "I'm going to spend a Lizzy"

We've had the same face on our coins for almost 100 years, it's nice to experience normal UK history where you'd have multiple faces on coin

Now, that's not true! They'll do lots of things, provided they don't damage the profits of energy companies in any way.

Truss has already declared a £2500 price cap https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-62831698

To be paid for by future generations of ordinary people, rather than windfall taxes on mega corps.
ImNotStalkingYouBTWYoureOutOfMilk
Fun fact: all paid taxes become "taxpayer money" as there's no separate treasury for corps.
stoduk
And it is all but twice the price it was a year ago. Many people don’t have finances that can deal with that jump.

Oh and we got a new Prime Minister literally yesterday (like it was the last thing the Queen did) it's now Cheesewoman rather than Trump 2.

This new pm is also unelected and "does not believe in redistribution in terms of taxation" also "the rich deserve all their wealth"
colliPositivityPrince
Regardless of your politics - no PM is elected, that’s not how it works
Youhavinagiraffe
And has also publically declared she's not planning to choose anyone to do ethics oversight. So... she's not even pretending
Hutchy01
We used to get an election on the Demise of the Crown, and god knows we need one.
theeighthcolour
So most comments in this can be ignored. She’s already announced measures to ease the burden and she was elected the same as any other MP/PM
SteelTech
The new PM is conservative...kind of like a UK version of republicans.

Worse than Boris?
Vergath
Yes and no, she doesn't appear as batshit crazy, but on the other hand she also looks like a pigeon presented with a rubix cube

In some ways, more open and obvious, less lies but only cos she's happy to fuck the poor and Boris kinda opened the door to being a cunt

A lot of hate in this, but as far as I’m concerned she’s a WWII vet that managed to be the only respectable member of her family.

They think that, like the chanting football hooligans we all are, we have tribal loyalty and undying devotion to the royal family. Oi oi

Yup, the imperialism, racism, etc. EVERYONE from her era was like that. And in fact I think she's changed her ways best she can.

#1 Why the FUCK would they use the $10, which doesn't even have the queen on it?
LesPaulStewart
Pretty sure it just fits PM Macdonald's profile (and poofy hair) better, but yeah, it really bugged me when I saw they used the old $10
LesPaulStewart
The $20 is green instead of purple and the most common banknote we use, so it's just weird to get it wrong
thedarkcanuck
We just replaced some old guy on that bill with Viola Desmond. I'll be damned if they want to switch it back to another old white guy
ageek3000
They need a $99 bill with Gretzky on it. Every stack could include a $10 bill as well to make it an even $1000.

Was the Queen involved in racism, colonialism and imperialism or was she in fact the monarch who dismantled all of the above?

None of the above, she didn't have a meaningful hand in either decisions.
