Calls to Make an Oath of Citizenship Optonal: How much more can Canada dilute or erase its defining institutions?

 How much more can Canada dilute or erase its defining institutions of history (Sir John A.), strong financial institutions (all banks have dropped "Royal", " Doninion", "Imperial" from names), national Anthem (lyrics have changed and now further "artistic license" taken at a basketball game), founding French language (after +400 years) and the institution of bilingualism, a country formed and fought for in the name of the Monarchy (Assemblee Nationale replacing swearing in with an optional mention of King Charles III now, other Canadians lacking any respect whatsoever for the Commonwealth), and now this - an optional or a trivial on line oath to Canada. I suppose Canadians and new Canadians only want healthcare and a border to say "we're not American" (again, a border fought for originally in the name of Monarchy) as their defining institutions. Everything else is being pulled down. Remembrance Day likely the next or future target to be erased.
