With a lack of response from the British in the room, the Canadians would beacon them to leave Rideau Hall where they would be guided back to their convoy and escorted to Ottawa's international airport, to return home. In the meantime, John Turner would let a sigh escape his lips before telling the room. "It appears we must go with Plan B." He his next words more loudly for the guard outside the door to hear him. "Please let Mr. Howard inside."
It would take a few moments before the door to the room would open again. In the mean time, John Turner would pull out a second packet of papers from the briefcase on the table. It was very similar to the first packet but would prove to be far more 'hands-on' than the other: The Constitution of the Kingdom of Canada. This new constitution would not make Canada a Grand Principality but a Kingdom, fully independent in all matters and all ties to the British severed, having a crown that is purely domestic.
When the door of the room opened, a middle-aged man would enter - a man who was among Canada's very few nobles. He wore a suit and tie of such quality that it put all the men in the room to shame. A full beard covered his face and a thick head of brown hair crowned him. His beady eyes scanned the room and the men before resting themselves on the packet of paper on the table. "The British have failed you again, I see." His voice was confident and deep, a man of no regrets and pure determination. "Give me the pen." John Turner did as he asked. Mr. Howard arched his back forward over the table, flipping through to the final page and began to sign.
"Perhaps you should re-read to document to--"
"I've read it, Mr. Turner." He cut him off. "There's nothing for me to be reminded of." With that his signature was finished and he handed Turner the pen and packet. "Let's fix this country of ours, yes?"
Turner nodded in agreement before rising from his seat. "Gentlemen... greet Canada's new King." They all rose and bowed their heads. "Let's get this constitution through parliament."
Public
Every newspaper, every radio channel, every channel that belonged to the news would begin lighting up with activity regarding something very important: Canada was holding a national referendum - this time, for a new constitution. Since even before the Wright administration, republicanism in Canada had been on the rise and had peaked during and following her leadership. But what Peter MacKay, the current Prime Minister realized, this republicanism was not because of dislike of a monarchy but the dislike of a foreign one. With this new constitution, the British monarchy would be abolished and a new monarchy would take its place, one that is fully Canadian and entirely domestic.
As per federal elections, the results were broadcasted live across Canada and access to these broadcasts were given to all foreign nations for citizens to watch the voting unfold. The election itself would take a few days, but the counting of the votes would be counted live over nearly fourteen hours. When it came to a close, it was clear what had won.
Canada, after over 230 years, would abolish the British monarchy.
