Messy process to abolish monarchy likely ‘nonstarter’ amid pressing problems: Trudeau
Last week, Ipsos polling conducted exclusively for Global News just days after the death of the queen suggested nearly 60 per cent of Canadians want a referendum on the future of the monarchy.At the same time, that poll suggested there is nearly equal support among those who favour both preserving or eliminating the ties to the monarchy.While 82 per cent of respondents said they approved of Queen Elizabeth’s performance as monarch, just 56 per cent agreed Charles will do a good job in her place.
“There’s a lot of good work to do that he is going to be able to to lead, within the limits and the position he has. But I think his commitment to listening, engaging, learning, embodying a thoughtful, generational path forward rather than short-term political preoccupations is exactly the kind of frame that I think democracies like ours need.”Gov. Gen.
Trudeau added he believes that rather than being an impediment to reconciliation, the Crown is “a powerful tool” in those efforts. “Having a King who is making deliberate efforts to learn, to understand, to embody a new relationship with Indigenous peoples that we’re developing as a country is essential.”Queen Elizabeth death: Can King Charles III keep the monarchy alive?Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, Trudeau’s spouse, also weighed in.
