Charlie... You do realize that the U.S. is also ex-British Empire, yes?

We, however, broke free of our bonds of oppression, rejecting perfidious Albion and all she stood for, while those lickspittles up north continued to embrace the Empire, reveling in their "Commonwealth" status.
Did I strike the correct tone of conciliation?

yeah, but we never got a sunset ceremony... I feel cheated.... besides, I don't think Canada is ex-British... they still swear loyalty to the Queen, don't they?

We certainly do. When I worked for the government there I would frequently come across contracts that started "The Smith family VS. Her Majesty the Queen.". I can't help feeling you're screwed from the start whenever you personally go up against the queen. I mean, wasn't she "appointed by god?" 
The nice part is, we can move to and work in England without a visa of any kind.

Of course, that particular king in question, Charles I, eventually lost the argument, and more importantly, his head. Interestingly, I bear his name - Charles Stuart.

<<I mean, wasn't she "appointed by god?">>
I had a class at UDE, a then requirement for a degree with distinction (Aced the course, but missed the cumulative average). This one was Great English Debates, and one of the topics was the Divine Right of Kings. Naturally, I was on the pro side. My team's argument, delivered by me, dressed for the period (early 17th century) took 10 seconds of our allotted 5 minutes:
"Rex summa Dei gratia!" For the great unwashed, "We are King by the grace of God."
"Praise be to Enax, and blessing to his followers."
