If asked, most Canadians would vote to cut ties with the monarchy.
But this country’s constitutional relationship with the Windsors isn’t likely to change any time soon, for one simple reason: too few Canadians care enough about the monarchy to make putting the question to them worth all the trouble.
From time to time, something erupts in the news that reminds Canadians of the existence of the British Royal Family — an institution that polls suggest most people in this country see as irrelevant to their lives. When that happens — because a governor general resigns, for example, or because of bombshell new allegations in a TV interview — it inevitably leads to questions about why Canada is still a constitutional monarchy.
The Queen is the royal jelly holding the cookie together her passing will likely accelerate it’s crumbling.
