CANADA – Lecturer at Carleton University in Ottawa and expert on the role of the monarchy, says Philippe Lagasse, citizen support for the monarchy is declining.
“Even in Canada, an English-speaking country, support for the monarchy is decreasing year by year,” said Philippe Lagasse, quoted by VOA Indonesia, Saturday (10/9/2022).
According to a poll last April, a small majority of Canadians – rising to 71% in the French-speaking province of Quebec – even want to renounce the monarchy, whose role is now largely ceremonial.

Then no less than 67% said they opposed Charles’ rise to become King of England. His visit to Canada last May went almost unnoticed.
Meanwhile, University of Quebec politics professor March Chevrier said to follow in the footsteps of Barbados, which in 2021 voted to secede from the British Empire and become a republic, Canada must carry out major reforms of its constitutional institutions and laws. .
