Insubordination. The Empire is going to the dogs.

@Max13 Absolutely! People today are very quick to point out the colonialism of Britain, while neglecting that other peoples have also been guilty of the same thing - from the Huns to the Aztecs, the Mongols to the Indians, the Incas to the Rus, the Persians to the Arabs. All colonists.

Good for them. I mean in alot of cases it is more a symbolic gesture but sometimes that is enough.

Here in Canada that would be a bit messier.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Ya I don't know if Canada will do that ever, or at least soon.
@JimboSaturn Well part of the problem is practical and just has to do with the structure of the government. You would need to come up with an alternative to the Governor General and an alternative everyone or at least a majority agrees on which never seems to end well.

And in terms of public opinion unlike some countries where the British imperial experience universally sucked in Canada different communities had very different experiences with the empire and have diametrically opposed feelings about it.

Sadly it looks as though Chinese money may have played a big part in the decision

Go Barbados...

However does this cut off or supply of fast bowlers 🤔?

Kudos to them!

And all over Britain nobody cared because obviously another country entirely should have it's own head of state. This empire shit is so not interesting to almost everyone here except for being a dark stain on our history.

@swirlie Good for Barbados! Imagine electing a native Barbadian as president.
