Canadian titles debate

Okay kiddo, so you know how sometimes people have names like "Mr." or "Mrs." before their actual name? Well, sometimes people also have titles that show they're important or have a certain job.

Now, in Canada, there's been a debate about whether or not we should use certain titles for important people. Some people believe that certain titles, like "Sir" or "Dame," are a bit old-fashioned and not necessary anymore. They also think that some titles, like "Knights" or "Dames," are only given to people who are wealthy or connected, which doesn't seem fair.

Other people think that titles are important to show respect for people who have done great things for Canada. They believe that titles like "Sir" or "Dame" show recognition for people who have made big contributions to our country.

So basically, the debate is about whether or not we should use titles and which ones we should use. Some people think they're important and others don't. It's up to us to decide what we think is best for Canada.
