      @@cyd6691 Where I grew up a kid, there was always Barbadian coins in circulation (IIRC you'd get a coin that was very similar to our penny). It was weird, since this was Canada, and a largely white community (Canada at the time was probably well over 80% white, with the majority of non-whites living in larger cities). Still, they looked cool!

    That being said, there didn't seem to be any actual current rancor between Barbados (or Rhianna) and the Queen. It's funny to me on one level because I love saucy, edgy provocative works that callback to our own nation's revolutionary war against the Crown, but I have mixed feelings, because Queen Elizabeth II has never seemed a terrible person to me. The English colonial governments of yesteryear, during slavery trade, definitely deserve such rancor, though.

Take a look at a list of British subjects who have received such honors for being artists, authors, musicians or performers of some ilk... you will see a pattern.

      So she 'served' in a war fought by Europeans against Europeans and therefore descendants of British slaves in Barbados should be grateful to the British crown for saving them from other Europeans who could have enslaved them.
      I will never cease to be amazed at how Europeans could turn anything into a win for themselves. An European could run you over in a car and maim you and turn around and tell you 'well if I hadn't run you over, you could have gone somewhere and someone else could have shot you.'
      It was the same logic that made an American tell me they 'saved' African slaves from Africa by enslaving them, with a straight face.

    Well done Barbados. Here in Canada, we only wish we could do that.

      Doesn't some faction or another flirt with the idea every decade or so? Pardon me if my ignorant Americanness is showing, but it would be as "easy" as an act of parliament, right? (ignoring all the busy work of redesigning currency and seals and stuff)

      @@Izmir_Stinger in theory, yes, but in practice before you even bring it up to Parliament, all or majority of the provinces have to agree to such a constitutional change

      We could do it anytime we wanted. The question is "get rid of the monarchy and replace it with what?" Right now the monarchy acts as a place where we can dump all sorts of state power under the term "the crown" and the politicians can't technically get direct access to it. Until we can trust each other not to raid the cookie jar this weird political equivalent of freezing your credit card in a block of ice so you can't impulse buy might be the best course.

      @@Izmir_Stinger It's complicated, and it's not wanted. The monarchy is intertwined with Canada's legal and political system. The Q is our head of state, and so we do not have a President Trudeau, thank god. It won't happen.

    I like Rihanna, but I don't like the word bitch in the lyrics. Queen Elizabeth is an old woman and isn't it our parents, especially my late parents taught us when we were little that we should respect old people. I wish the songwriter didn't use the word bitch.
