What exactly does abolishing the monarchy do for the system?

Create the impression that Canada is made for and by the Canadians, and not for and by a foreign entity.

The way you guys talk about it creates this impression that Canada's only achievements are somehow A: Being a former British Subject, and B: Being the northern neighbor of the United States, and that in order to keep your identity from being B you must whole-hardheartedly embrace A. 

So getting mad at your PM because he dares associate Canada with an existence independent of those two things seems.... well, it's rather depressing.
