Here are some of the letters of support that I have has received. My fan mail outpaces our hatemail at about 10 to 1, but every word of support is greatly appreciated.

If this is ultimately a success would you consider expanding the idea...ie. ultimate fighting championship type competition with the senate and the governor general - hopefully broadcast on pay per view (if not on the CBC as a publicly funded cancon sports event). Keep up the good work!

Excellent website. Glad to see that the world isn't filled with people so stupid to believe in the outdated institution of the monarchy.

Reference: Actually, I found this site because some nazis, woops I mean "monarchists" made a petition on petitiononline.com and wanted this site done for treaseon. Stupid tyrant supporters.

I heard about your site from the weekend review, Globe & Mail Saturday, January 12, 2002. My husband had the filthy paper(papers are yucko, I bet Lizzy reads 'em everyday...twice on Sundays!)and when he had determined that you were a real site. I hopped on. I admit that I didn't read the Globe article. I have no idea if they were nice to you or not. I do intend to tell all my little art friends about you though.... Thanks!

As I live in Scotland, I want that sad old cow and all that live south of our border to piss off. As it reads, as long as their is one scotsman in this proud land... No englishman shall rule. BURN THEM ALL

MY NAME IS(MACNEIL) AND I'M A DESCENDANT OF KING NIALL OF THE NINE HOSTAGES KING OF TARA AND AODH O'NEIL OF BARRA SCOTLAND. HER HOUSE IS MY HOUSE AND I WHANT IT BACK. GET HER OUT. C.MACNEIL THE NEW QUEEN.

Canada is a nation of great potential going NOWHERE - how does one deal with this? I've contemplated; either we turn in over a New Leaf, or, the Stars our Destination. As to those who embrace the Royal Family and wish to remain with what we've got, know this: the Sun is starting to set over your precious Empire; in other words - MIND YOUR BUSINESS!!!

I'm a UK resident (& taxpayer) but I'm no monarchist. however, I'm quite taken by the prospect of being diplomatically represented by somebody who is trashed on gin. It may not achieve any more that the present setup but at least it might be a laugh. Bring back the Queen Mum. Mine's with ice & lemon and a splash of tonic.

Stand in line mate. Let me kickbox her out of Great Britan first, then you can have the dregs!! :)

Good Job.... Dear..... Get her out before April 1st 2003, I am taking up Canadian Citizenship. My Mother Country dumped her 55 years back.....

Thanx for this wonderful site. Like yourself I have reached sensibility early in life....I realized early on that it is dang wrong to have unelected people rule countries/provinces/whatever simply due to birth-right, besides they have an average IQ of a (very small) chickpea. Royalty is an outdated concept and has no place in modern society/politics and we should do anything in our power to get rid of it. I myself am half dutch and was disgusted to hear that our recent royal wedding (farce) costs us around $20million, and now the bride has an 'allowance' (welfare cheque) of $750,000 per year and guess who foot the bill!?! Not a bad salary considering she is jobless. In total the whole F#$king family get $25 million per year, AND GUESS WHO FOOT THE BILL?!? And what do they give us back? To sum it up: the only thing they give is something for the tabloids to write about, and I hate tabloids! Once you K.O. the queen (when is her mom going to kick the bucket anyhoo?), p! lease K.O the queen of Holland afterwards. .....republican forever, monarchist never.....

Praise it brother. Even though I think that the queen isn't really such a big deal, your web site has some very interesting viwws and ideas. More power to you. Just one thing though, why on earth did you move out of Canada? Is it because of your stand on things? Any way, I just wanted to write you and ask you to please post my letter. I bet a friend $10 that I could get posted. A little side note to a couple of those hate-mailers. That 15 year old kid who wrote in all capitals: Shut the hell up before you make my generation look any dumber then you've made it appear. And get some therapy. Your Homophobia isn't healthy. Maybe it's time you came out of the closet. That British guy with the thing against Gypsies: Grow the hell up. My great grandfather was a foot soldier for the German army, and he used to say that if he'd known what he was really fighting for, he would have given Hitler a swift kick in the ass. You too, I'm sure. And finally, to that person who had a problem with Shane being comfortable with his being 'Ignorant': What did you mean by the way most modern men are. I believe that's along the lines of what you said, right. It had better be or I'll feel like an ass. Anyways, you sound like a feminist. Women like you should learn your role, keep your mouth shut and stay in the kitchen until your husband needs a snack (LOL). But seriously, get a life. Get a man. Get a woman if you have to. But don't take it out on our old boy here who has better things to do instead of sending hate mail to people who have an opinion. Like answering your mail with witty remarks while denouncing the Queen and company. That's all I have to say for the moment, except for that the rest of you people who are going to e-mail Shane, just remember that all he's going to do is harass the hell out of you. -Bryan C Nickerson

This is a great idea!! But, with the very recent death of the Queen's sister and the Queen MUM not in the greatest health, I think maybe this idea would be better against Prince Charles. Besides, the queen would cheat. She'd sic her 4 pet Corgis to chew on your already bad ankle. She also just celebrated her 50th year being Queen!! Whoopee Dooo! I'll respect her for that, but not much else. What do you think there Shane??????

Great site mate! I'm 29 and just moved to the States from Scotland, democracy doesnt exist in Scotland and we don't even have the right to vote the royals out! you guys have that opportunity TAKE IT CANADA! Tony in Oregon (glad finally to stop paying taxes for the upkeep of the queen) cheers

Congratulations on the site, which I like. As an English person, I oppose the monarchy, and agree that the sooner it is abolished the better. However, that does not make my support for you unqualified. Lizzy is English, afterall, and you are Canadian, a foreigner. And all she has done is her duty and service - she didn't ask to be Queen and she didn't complain at the burden of the role. Still, this is a question of democracy right? So, if there is a decision on points, I'll let the judges vote. And I'm sure Don King could talk Lizzy into a rematch. That should get you more publicity. Hey, maybe you should get Iron Mike Tyson to referee both bouts? If you win twice, we'll even give you Lennox Lewis back. I wonder what's behind this desire for a violent solution. I'd always thought Canadians were a peaceful, non-violent nation. Perhaps that's exactly what it is. Your challenge of a kickboxing match is a piece of symbolism. For too long, your country has been a patsy state, too meek to stand up to an old woman and her rent-a-mob. Here you are now, challnging her to a fight. If Shane (Canada) wins, then your country will be free and independent. My analysis: It's the proxy War of Independence that your ancestors never had the guts to fight. Of course, that's all blown if the silly old cow goes for a maths test. Yours, Tongue In-Cheek

Hey Shane It's me again, that 15 year old that's against the monarchy. I just thought I'd let ya know that i'll take on that other 15 year old that's FOR the monarchy and just can't seem to find the "caps lock" button on his computer. hahaha I'm pretty sure I can kick his ass. He and those like him are obviously caught up in the perpetual cycle of power, greed and 'fake democracy'. Perpetual meaning unless we stand up as a country and do away with what is holding us back. 'Fake democracy' meaning that the queen is not elected but heired into office and only proving that we, of course, are not a true democracy. As the books state, a true democracy is that which all governmental members are elected into office by the means of the "majority rules" concept where ALL Canadian citizens have the right to vote for their leaders. When real democracy does break loose it's not going to make our economy scream because we are already practically living with out the Queen as it is. The obvious proves it as she tends to spend most of her time elsewhere but here, the country she supposedly heads. Sad? Yes, very sad, but not only because of pro-monarchists ignorance to this so vivid fact but because it is an expensive ignorance and we (as Canada in general) continue to ignore it. thanks for listening to me rant again! I'd appreciate some feedback from anyone...canadian_made28@hotmail.com

At first glance I was all for your contest but given the genetic handicap Queenie suffers from I have to join the anti's. (That's unless,like hers, your family has been practicing selective inbreeding for generations.) I know you will say that the monarchy has always played foul but two wrongs don't make a divine right (apart from my neighbours Mr. and Mrs. Wong whose lovely daughter Suzie has one but she has a divine left as well.) To level up the playing field, I believe you should enter the kickboxing contest with your arms and legs tied behing your back. If she opts for the math test, she should be allowed the use of a calculator but without the instruction booklet. Great stuff, keep up the good work.

Here's a bit for you - I say we buy them out with a severance package. You know, ok, we give them two weeks salary for every year they've been "working." So let's say $1 million for two weeks times 1500 years (or whatever it is) so that comes to $1.5 billion. Here's your cheque now bugger off.

I agree with you and your site, but I also know that sadly the political institution in Canada is too interested in keeping with tradtion to rid ourselves of the Monarchy. I have a few problems with that, and also with the retards who like to write stupid and pointless hate mails. This is my sort of Fan Mail for the site but Hate Mail for Hate Mailers. First of all the 15 year old who wrote in is obviously mentally deficient, and gives a bad reputation for us other teenagers. And the fellow from England who said that a Prince who tells a Chinese waiter to open his eyes when he talks to him and calls him a 'slitty eyed monkey' is a royal with class. This man is also mentally, morally, and ethnically ignorant. I hope that these idiots can keep their fascist and racist views to themselves in the future. And also, this site rules and the purpose rules as well. Down with Tin Lizzy.

Good work Shane! Still keeping up the fight against the institutionalized nonsense a.k.a. the british monarchy. Re the ugly old broad Victoria, her offspring include such wonders as Willhelm II of Germany who gave us such delights such as WWI (that was fun), and princess Alix of Hesse, who became empress Alexandra of Russia (you know the one who loved Rasputin). The Romanovs were so corrupt that the Bolshevik revolution was the result. Communism that gave the world so much fun over the last eighty years was also her legacy, and a real blast for those enjoying its charms. Yes queen Vicky really did a job on us.

Great site Shane. Keep up the good work and do not let those monarchist bores discourage you. I say "off with their heads". A Fellow Spud-Islander.

I heard about your website from Mojo Radio AM 640. Thank goodness I was born in Canada and never had to swear allegiance to the queen. Keep up the good work! This is what I call balls!

YOU ROCK SHANE..I HEARD YOU ON HUMBLE AND FRED ON MOJO RADIO THIS WEEK...YOUR IDEA IS HALARIOUS..GOOD FOR YOU...DON'T LET THE CANADIAN INTERNET NERDS AND E-TARDS (PPL ANAL ABOUT WEB CONTENT) GETCHA DOWN...LATER!

I heard you this morning talking to Humble and Fred on Mojo radio and had to check out the site as soon as I got to work. What your trying to do would truly be a service to Canadians if the queen actually responded. If she does accept the challenge please consider me as one of your attendants at ringside. Prior to visiting your site I never gave much thought to the queen. I always knew she was essentially a useless figurehead but now as you have outlined the cost of her versus her actual contribution it makes me angry. I think putting you in as our head of state is a brilliant idea. Keep up the good work and if you decide an armed revolt is your next course of action you can count me in.

Nice to see someone with a sense of humour re: the whole "interbreeding" "oh Camilla I want to be your tampon", Royal Family BS thing. Hard to believe some people take it so seriously.. Hey goofs... not EVERYTHING you read on the web is true.... My money's on Shane in 2 rounds. Although if Camilla steps in you're toast buddy....

Comment: Speaking as an Englishman, I can't tell you how much I hope your country becomes a Republic, as it should be. I could never get my head round how a country the size of Canada should be ruled by some woman who has no links with it and lives 3,000 miles away. Anyway, at least your laws will enable a referendum, unlike Britain's! Thankfully, republicanism is a steadily growing concept in the UK, and I really doubt very much whether they will be around much longer. I give them 20 years at the most. Already it seems the majority are asking themselves 'Why do we have them? What do they actually DO?' and the level of apathy surrounding the Queen Mother's death is astonishing. This level of disinterest for someone who we had always been told was the 'Nation's favourite grandmother'. People don't care about the monarchy anymore - it's an outdated concept and it belongs in the history books. Good luck to you, my Canadian friends! I hope you win your republic soon!

Greetings from Whidbey Is. Wa. State. Caught your interview with Peter "GET ON WITH IT!!" Warren. I had to chuckle at a couple of callers who were monarcists & most likely drank their lunches. Though I'm an american I enjoy listening to Rafe Mair, so much in fact that I record his show when at work so as to not miss his ranting editorials. Keep it up! Will be listening for you on Rafe's show. John Morris

Hail to King Shane!!! The name "Piccadilly Circus" obviously was coined on the day the Windsors' had their family picture taken!! I heard you speek on the Peter Warren show on Sunday and was quite amused(shit,that sounds like somethin' Lizzie would say!)I mean I laughed my ass off!! I couldn't understand the Yaya's who phoned in to support those merry royal misfits! Don't they know that every dime that family has was extorted from, beaten out of, and raped from their own relatives (surfs and peasants etc.) over the last several hundred years? Now I'm not saying we should hang the lot of them but let's make them pay back what they took and make them work at Burger King!(maybe in one of those "Welfare Provinces" that one dickhead caller mentioned)Anyhow, I could go on royal bashing for hours but you get the gist of it. Have fun kicking her ass but watch out for that mighty right hook (anyone who's spent the last 50 years waving from limos and carriages must have a doo! sey of an arm!!!!) Good-bye Eh!

Good luck in the upcoming bout, although watch out for the spike heels. By the way, you may be aware that one of the announced candidates for the leadership of the Canadian Alliance is a Drag Queen. (Work with me on this, Shane) Sounds like a great possibility for either a Tag Team match or, assuming you can kick BOTH their asses, a chance for you to double-dip and assume BOTH top jobs, double-dipping being a time-tested tradition for Canadian politicians.

Amusing though this site is, I regret that it will have little effect in removing this anachronistic relic of a long-dead empire from our constitution. It requires motivating our elected representatives to drag this colony into nationhood. Let's explore ways to make it clear to the P.M. and our M.P.s that the majority of Canadians want to have our own head of state.

I just heard you on Peter Warren's show. I like a man with a sense of humour. What city are you from? As for the monarchy, it acts as a (weak) counterweight to the U.S., as well as sentimental reasons. True, though, when your head-of-state is a foriegn power it doesn't say much for your country. Or maybe it does.

I'm writing a thesis as to whether the Queen should remain the figurehead of Canada or not.. I must say, I'll have no trouble writing it now. I find it quite amusing that the same people who adamantly believe Di should be canonized, are the same folks who called her a slut not ten years ago, don't you?

This site is great! - Just one problem -Why do you have to just get rid of the monarchy from canada? Can't we get rid of the bunch of interbread half wits from england as well?????? As a left wing english man with a child and struggling to survive on a nurse's wages why should I have to have to have a elitist unelected family as head of my country? We think we are democratic??? Keep up the good work and when you sucseed in getting rid of them from your country you can join the crusade and rid our country of this nonsense. More fish bones thats what I say!

You have one hell of a website here. I liked reading the hatemail, those loyalists are pretty stupid. I hope we get rid of the Windors and bring the leadership of our country home. CANADA FOR CANADIANS!

Hmm,when you're done kicking the queen out of canada can we kick her out of britian too?

Damn like your site i say burn the queenie no wait hang draw and ,just like they did to my hero and yours guy fawkes,no wait hang all the lizards eating babies,...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OOOOOOh Baby! The Good Queen Vicky is my kind o' bangers and mash! I think it's sweet that under this hottie homosexuality was illegal, yet implicit in her denial of lesbianism's existence, sisters who did the dirty were never jailed as was poor Earnest Oscar. Victorian filthies doing the nasty, mmmmm --- makes me want to slap a cabbage on my noggin and blare, "Can I watch???" Dave in Calgary
