It isn’t difficult to manufacture support when you have the budget and machinery of the state behind you. It is depressing to consider our sense of nationhood is still derivative of other identities an ocean away.
Hey bro, we on the left know when to button up. Figurehead or no, symbols and institutions have power. Everyone was just in Rome sucking up to the same dude world leaders sucked up to 1,000 years ago. Fundamentally though any change to the relationship, if not to be both costly and culturally divisive, between the crown and Canada would have to take place over years and years. Not unless a party somehow had republicanism in their platform and planned on acting on it, BQ notwithstanding.
Anyone not named Trump, who can get us access to other markets and closer ties, is going to be well thought of.
Who cares about the monarchy. It is a figurehead with no true power. Just some media looking for an angle.
I mean, to be clear, it’s probably a stability thing as the article suggests. Trump is enough of a menace to stability, so probably best to not further destabilize things by changing our constitutional system of government at the same time. There might also be an element of, as usual, anti-Americanism in this. Canadians on the whole don’t like the Americans right now so some of the population may be happy we don’t have a godawful president like they do and all that (even though a Canadian republic would probably have a president like Germany or Ireland who basically is just the Governor General with a more clearly defined role constitutionally). Though I also suspect that some increase in positivity of this may be due to media coverage about Charles himself. Charles has been spotted wearing his Canadian specific medals at recent events, and there has been some positive coverage of that from Canadian media. It has also been noted by our media that Charles’s subtle support of Canadian sovereignty is in direct contrast to a British government that, in an effort to not insult Trump, have basically tried to do everything in their power to not discuss the matter of Canada’s independence from the United States.
There are some interesting numbers in this [poll](https://www.pollara.com/canadians-warming-to-king-charles-and-the-monarchy/) particularly that young Canadians 18-34 are the most supportive of the monarchy followed by 65+ and 50-64. While 34-50 are the most opposed.
Other notable trends are that the left leaning voters LPC, Green and NDP are the most supportive while right wing voters CPC & PPC are the most opposed.
Likewise Ontario, Atlantic Canada & MB/SK are the most pro monarchy provinces while BC, Alberta and Quebec (obviously) are the most Republican.
Weird time to be alive when the conservative party (at least western conservatives) the once bastion of monarchism & Anglophilia are now Americophiles and have drunk the Republican party koolaid.
Greater Montreal here. I don’t mind the monarchy, it’s nice to have another friend when your toxic bff stabs you in the back. I’m in my mid forties and voted liberal. We went pretty red and I think Quebec might not mind the monarchy as much as the BLOC tries to say otherwise.
