They want the World thinking that the Brits love their Royal Family but the truth is different.

Good Morning #Canada
Empire Day was 1st celebrated in May 1898 in Dundas, Ontario, created by Canadian author Clementina Trenholme. It was celebrated at various times of year throughout the British Empire and in 1958 the name was changed to #CommonwealthDay. In 1973, Brian Graves, from the Royal Commonwealth Society of Canada, wrote to PM Pierre Trudeau proposing that Commonwealth Day be observed on the same day throughout the Commonwealth. His proposal was approved at the Third Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, held in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1975. That's why the 2nd Monday in March is so special to Canadians and chock full of awesome activities. (Note: we need a sarcasm font)
Other than flying the Royal Union Flag at federal government buildings and a statement from the Governor General, I suspect the day will slip by quietly for 40+ million Canadians. I might honour the day by boiling some food at lunch. (I'm a little bit sorry for that) -

Happy #CommonwealthDay to those who celebrate it.
I've thought that Charles III succeeding his mum as head of the Commonwealth was a PR mistake for the organisation, but it still seems to be attracting applicants who don't have an historical connection to the UK, so perhaps it's not such a hindrance.
It's hard to imagine the institution retaining the UK monarch after this, though.
