I certainly do have some cautious hopes now - New Zealand is overwhelming British (chiefly English) and people just love the welfare state. Western Canada seems more diverse than British descents so there could be more clear-minded people.

I could be generalizing here, but the English tradition seems to be an unwavering devotion to monarchy. They couldn't wait to get rid of Cromwell and put a tyrant back on the throne, only to toss him for a moderate in William. Still they just couldn't do without a King.

The Scots on the other hand seem to regard the monarchy with suspicion and definitely wanted to monarch to stay out of the affairs of the Church.

What little I know of Scots in Canada was they attempted a venture to make riches in Nova Scotia. The venture was a terrible failure but the Scots stayed behind.
