Reintroducing prefix to our military a royal pain

Dear editor,

Re: Reintroduction of Royal prefix for Canadian Navy and Canadian Air Force.

In my opinion, reintroducing the prefix Royal to our navy and air force puts us right back into the pan of colonialism.

If we're ever going to take ourselves seriously as a sovereign nation, it will be without subservient attachments to another country.

Yes, I know we live in British Columbia. But we are not British.

And we have no Royals here.
