Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said King Charles is deeply aligned with the fundamental priorities of Canadians on reconciliation and the environment.
LONDON -
He said the King has also shown that he understands the problems created by Britain’s colonial history in Canada. Fans waved flags, donned capes, fascinators and crowns, and broke into cheers any time they caught a glimpse of a member of the royal family passing by in a motorcade. But polls suggest a vast majority of Canadians feel indifferent to Charles and little to no attachment to the royal family -- a sentiment that has grown since the death of Queen Elizabeth last September. A significant percentage also believe it’s time for Canada to reconsider ties to the monarchy.He said that leaves a challenge for anyone who steps into the role as Canada’s head of state.
John Craig, a professor of British and English history at Vancouver’s Simon Fraser University, said most Canadians likely don’t think about the monarchy much at all. Craig said there’s no doubt that Charles is a “serious man,” who worked over the years on important initiatives such as reconciliation, climate change and supporting disadvantaged youth. Despite being in his 70s, the monarch will likely redouble his efforts now that he’s been crowned, Craig said.
