Even among older Canadians, who are more likely to be enthusiastic about the Royal Family than other groups, fewer than 40 per cent support swearing an oath to him, singing “God Save the King” at ceremonies and putting his face on Canadian money. Most people across all demographics also oppose these recognitions.
Women are more likely than men to consider the Royals as relevant to them. However, regardless of demographic, the majority of people believe the Royals' relevance is waning or completely gone. People in Quebec are most likely to say they want to cut ties with the Royals, while 34 per cent of Ontarians want to maintain the status quo, which is the highest percentage in the country, but still a minority opinion.
Men older than 54 are the most likely to say Canada should change its Constitution and cut ties with the Royals., Angus Reid asked survey respondents how they felt about those countries’ decision to sever monarchal ties. Most Canadians said it was the right call, while 11 per cent said those countries are making the wrong choice. Survey data also showed older Canadians were more likely to say it’s the wrong move.
A majority of people in every province included in the survey said they don’t care about the coronation at all, the highest proportion being Quebecers at 55 per cent. Ontario had the most amount of people enthusiastic about the event, at 14 per cent. Women over the age of 34 are more interested in the coronation than any other group and they believe it is important, while men aged 35 to 54 are the most likely to be completely apathetic, the data shows.
