Statement made without a single word being said.
Quote:[Nathan] Tidridge [vice-president of the Institute for the Study of the Crown in Canada] said it's easy to dismiss the sword ceremony as a meaningless symbol — but symbols and ceremony are "so tied to national identity" and Canada needs to cherish them now more than ever.
"We're in an existential crisis and Canadians are looking for things to really rally around right now — the Crown should be one of them."
