I would never take an oath on a bible. I'm not christian
A tradition like swearing on the bible was born from the assumption of religion being the ultimate meter of morality. Religion and government don't belong anywhere near each other, unless you're saying "religion doesn't belong in government."
She has the right not to swear on a bible... not everyone is christian *GASP!*
As for Canada's socialist experiment failing... how about we stop giving you all that awesome power, oil, and water... Then we'll see how long you guys can stay on your feet... Canada is prospering.

That would be within her rights under the charter. Albeit a foolish one, seeing as she is the head of state.
