As an American, I think Canada and the Commonwealth had something very special in Her Majesty The Queen.
I LOVE this. So much to deconstruct with students in History class, so many conversations to be had, to really delve into the depths of continuity and change, of the historical importance the monarchy and the Queen have played in this country.
Yes ...without the British....Canada wouldn't be. It would be part of France or the USA. Honour your ancestors and your traditions Canadians
This was extremely well done. the interview clips were very important views that don't get heard.
I was walking down Howe St after work one day. I did know the royal couple were in Vancouver but busy working. All of the sudden the motorcade drove by, I stopped and watched while the Queen and Prince Phillip drove by. She was waving and smiling and I fell in love with her in that moment. All the troubles over the years and she showed up. She understands her role and loves her people and every decision is made with her subjects in mind. God save our queen.
Unanimous consent from the House of Commons, the Senate, and each of the provincial legislatures is required to change the constitution. A monarchy we are and a monarchy we will remain. Because all of them couldn't agree on the colour of the sky, let alone whether to remain a monarchy or become a Republic.
but its destroyed the country, there no longer is a Canada
There would be to many people out of a job!!
Even if everyone agreed, it would also be needlessly expensive and wouldn't really change the way the government or country works
To change the United States Constitution requires two-thirds (2/3) majority of the House of Representatives (290 out of 435) and the Senate (67 out of 100) and three-fourths (38 out of 50) of the state legislatures. (One U.S. House member represents 754,574 American persons. One Canadian Member of Parliament represents 112,340 Canadian persons.) There have been 27 Amendments in the 241-year history of the U.S. Constitution.
How many amendments have been made to the Canadian Constitution?
@@RaymondHng The United States doesn't require it to be unanimous like Canada does. There have been thirteen amendments in Canada since 1982, which may sound like a lot, but they've all been extremely limited in scope, dealing with matters that only affect a single province at a time, not the whole country. It's easy to get something passed when it is so minor that there is no opposition. It's much harder to get unanimous consent for something controversial. Many would say unanimously passing controversial legislation is impossible by definition.
Congratulations to the her majesty queen Elizabeth 2 with the platinum jubilee🇨🇦🇬🇧it's a great honour to have a wonderful person like the queen Elizabeth👍🙂
2 months ago you posted this… I miss her already
Imagine having a husband or a wive with hundreds of other lovers and thinking you actually matter to them. Ridiculous. Canada your being treated like a hoe. Raise up and make a true head of state. How embarrassing and shameful.

Canada is part of a very special family whose love of ceremony and brotherhood was on display for ALL to see. Anyone who watched the pageant and Jubilee pageant will see how special it is to be part of this...to throw it away would be insane and a great shame to lose such an aspect of Canadian heritage and identity.
The British Commonwealth will fall.
What?? There is Jubilee pageant?
Yes please keep your queen (and future king, when the time comes). Constitutional monarchy is a tremendously successful system for numerous reasons
I hope you didn't jinx it
In my opinion our heritage is more then our history! The Queen has set our standards, our order, our law. Long live Queen Elizabeth II. Her sacrifice to our country to the commonwealth and to the world will be always regarded with honour and dignity!! Canada 🇨🇦 should be proud to have Her as our Sovereign! God Bless and save our Queen Elizabeth II
I agree with you 100%. As a Canadian we need to have this heritage and it's part of our roots.
It's all good ! I am a fan of le cirque du soleil too ?
It’s an outdated idea, it should be taught as a part of history and we can still celebrate it in that way.
I would love to see some David greaber books on those shelves! Lol
Yes, we do!
As an inuk. I feel that we have a landlord who only wants claims of ownership, but has a very bad manager (prime minister) who can’t acknowledge the problems of ownership. No Ill intentions of me saying this.

Every country has something that doesn't make sense; suppose this thing is minor relative to what other countries have...
Colonialism, authoritarianism, and despotism must come to an end. Please discontinue this expensive injustice where a family lives opulently on the public’s dollar for no other reason than that their ancestors were able to overpower and oppress our ancestors.
What have you been reading?! "Colonialism, authoritarianism, and despotism"?!?! Or are you writing in from Algeria, last century under the French? (Perhaps a wider circle of friends might help... just a suggestion) Times have moved on and that our constitutional monarchy has too by embracing the world as it is today...
@@alistair7539 History.
@@c-scoop9951 History - just my point! People and institutions have changed - history shows us that clearly. Surely today's institutions and society should be encouraged to respond to today's needs - as the Monarchy has been and is doing. Rather than seek vengeance on them for the lesser comprehension and consciousness of their (and our ancestors) surely it's more worthy and useful for contemporary society to embrace 'old' institutions and encourage them out of history into the light of today. Humanity needs its institutions, needs them functioning and responding to us today. During the past six decades we've consigned much to the rubbish bin, much which could have been renovated and put into the service of humanity. The results of that are all around us. We are psychological beings before we are political animals. Go well!
Yes we do
YES
NO !
Absolutely! The monarchy is part of Canada’s history and traditions. We don’t need another divisive partisan politician as our head of State. Long live the Canadian monarchy and the Queen of Canada!
then why do you have a prime minister? The queen is just a figure head?
We need a Monarch like we need a hole in the head.
Then perhaps you don't understand the workings and benefits of constitutional monarchy - just saying. It would be terrible to throw the baby out with the bath water, simply because of ignorance...
@@alistair7539 They dont understand the protection it brings
if Queen Elizabeth 2 yes , if not ...NO
she is a good brand , all the rest ? NAAAA
No
The monarchy is symbolic but its also part of peoples culture i vote to keep the monarch otherwise we will need to get rid of the chiefs too. you cannot just get rid of peoples culture that is how we end up being sold to the other monarchs the corporations and i stand on that. God save the queen and the commonwealth realms.
I guess republicans want us to be more Americanized
People need to embrace it as it provided us with stability. Even Stephen Harper has said so I’m many occasions
People need to stop changing our culture
Does a monarch still need Canada??

Yes
God Save Canada's Queen!
Yes, we do! It’s what Canada was born upon of! It is a very important part of Canadian history! Keep it as long as Canada exits as a nation!!!
why have history dictate your future? Why should you be dominated? You have a prime minister.
@@maryk3458 dominated lol what are you talking about, Canada is totally independent.
@@maryk3458 The Queen does not dominate Canada! She is a ceremonial symbol even though she is The Sovereign. She reigns over Canada, she doesn't rule it.
@@maryk3458 Republics have not fared well over the years, France is on its 6th republic and the US needs its guns just to keep a dictator out of power.

Good-bye !
A referendum. Would be a good idea.
Adr3n0chr0m3
YES we do
Don't be a peasant girl!
A monarchist constitution provides us a Queen who gives us advice - a balance objective advice and provides a line for a Prime minister not become a dictator. Also look at history. If Britain did not come here, will we be Canada? ❤️🇬🇧❤️🇨🇦❤️
Yea the french were the original european settlers, "Canadians" the root word comes from French.
I’m on the fence. I like independence but I feel pride being attached to such insane history.
Canada IS a fully independent and sovereign nation. The Queen was declsred ""Queen of Canada" by an act of The Parliament of Canada in 1952. The Crown in Canada is completely and totally separate from that of The United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, etc. The only connection is that The Office of Sovereign is occupied by the same person, who is of necessity represented in each realm by a Governor General.
How about having a monarch that actually resides in Canada?
No we do not.
No, Canada does not need a monarch.
Whether you like it or not it's impossible
Yes, we do.
@@moroaica3660 i agree
@@electronsd People who claim it's impossible are peasants who only want to bow to the royal parasites forever.
ONE THINGIS FOR CERTAIN , IN SPTE OF THE EXTRAVAGENCE , & I SAY THAT WITH CARE BECAUSE THIS WEALTH IS SO MUCH MUCH MORE ORGANIZED & HISTORICALLY TREASURE ENDOWED , THE QUEEN HAS DONE AN IMMENSE AMOUNT FOR ENGLAND , THE WORLD AS WELL FOR THAT MATTER ....
I love the Queen! and I think most Canadians do too! She is all that most of us ever knew as Sovereign! It’s Charles I don’t care for as King! What he did to Diana I can’t forgive him but will try!
YES.
so an old lady drops a puck and thats the reaction LOL
It depends on who "the old lady" is. If it's The Queen, yes. If it's your mother, then no. Think about that.
PS No disrespect to your mother. It's just that's how it is.
Rather shallow view of the situation, don't you think, on second thoughts...?
" Does Canada still need a monarch? ". YES ! In the very simplest terms, not having a monarch would require a complete remodelling of our system of laws. It's a classic case of the caution " Be careful what you wish for - perhaps you may get it ! "
Given who is in line for the throne - I feel the effort would be well worth it.
@@sydswaine3627 💯
Lol. Many countries have left the monarch and doing better than well. This is just excuses b/c a few minority want to subservient to another human.
So really your answer is no.. you're just too lazy to say yes. Got it!
"Change is scary" in paragraph form.
You don't just get to opt in and out when it's politically convenient.
If it ain't broke don't fix it. As it is, the monarchy saves a lot of political shenanigans and it works. It could save us from the fate that right wing Republicans are trying to inflict on America. If it starts to reflect active oppression, of course it should be changed, but right now it offers a safety net that seems to currently be lacking in republics. It unites us with Australia, NZ., and many more like minded, peaceful countries. United we stand, divided we fall.
Are you suggesting that if the elected government were overthrown, the monarchy would come in to restore the constitution?
@@c-scoop9951 Not at all. I am suggesting it would be a lot more difficult for someone like Donald Trump to declare himself a permanent dictator under the current system.
I don’t believe Trump could do that under the American system without breaking it. There’s no procedure in US law to become permanent dictator. Similarly here. So I don’t see how the monarchy prevents or impedes any “shenanigans”. Sorry. All it takes to stage a coup is the military or political will. That being said we aren’t talking about US-Canada, we’re talking about the monarchy. The monarchy doesn’t restore order during political unrest or oversee lawful military action. It is largely symbolic of a time where that was its role and it is no longer necessary. Human beings have not benefitted equally from the system of oppression over which it presided for hundreds of years.
Bwahahahaha! Save us from the gate the Republicans are pushing? That's funny.
@@c-scoop9951 the queen could absolutely declare war, if she wanted to. She is the head of state and commander in chief. She actually has a lot of power - but again the system is one of honor where it’s “understood” that the prime mister and parliament run the government.
Yes we do, it is important, it is good news when there is so much bad news. The tv commentators should not keep talking negative news
I don't think so that Canada need the queen or the monarch in 21 century and maybe they should do like the Barbados does who recently remove the queen as chief of state by referendum .
You mean where Barbados promised and passed an act for a referendum then never gave one and years later pushed through a massive constitutional change anyways to distract from domestic political issues?
Yes
@@wamnicho Canada does not have referenda. It is virtually impossible to remove The Queen in Canada. Both Houses of Parliament and all provincial and territorial legislatures must agree unanimously to "affect The Office of The Queen". It ain't gonna happen!
Barbados didn't have a referendum. The government holds a majority of seats and so simply voted it through without asking the people - gotta love socialism! So open, so inclusive...
Do these people ever sit down and think " thank god we got colonised by the British and not the Spanish, Portuguese or the French".
I don't agree with it but i think they need to start giving their heads a wobble
Yes. Keep Queen of Canada as a Monarch God Save the Queen of Canada. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Ok peasant.
Still? Canada never needed a monarch.
Good point :)
Yet you needed her laws 😂😂
@@sutty8526 I did? Oh
We can keep our history and connection to the commonwealth. There is mo reason that reforming our connection to royalty should sever our connection to history.
But it does 🤦🏻♀️
Yes it brings stability and a special connection with the other Commonwealth realms.
Lmao what connection
@@WinstonTheAmazingCanadian or stability?
We can do all of that if a Canadian is Head of State! We will not lose stability and a special connection with the other Commonwealth realms!
Why is it I’m observing old people pushing to keep the monarchy what ya afraid of? Is is because that’s all you know?! Don’t worry your generation has no say it’s the millennials that will decide. We can do it and be successful at it without the monarch!
I’m looking forward to CANZUK! UK has the yummy snacks darling!
No, let them put the crown down and just be rich. They can have the same as everyone else...but be rich...just be a celebrity...is it really a big deal?
Imagine if the Brits decided to get rid of the monarchy before Canada did?
Because of the way The Constitutional Act of 1982 is written,
Canada would continue to have The Queen as Head of State.
@@MrWilhelm1950 That's what I was wondering about! She would still be our Queen. Very odd but interesting... thanks for that.
@@September2004
Not really odd as it is the case Australia and New Zealand. The Canadian Monarchy is legaly seperate. Effectively the British Crown was broken up into seperate but equal monarchies by the Statue of Westminster in 1932.
Nothing about the resedential schools mentioned
Nothing to do with residential schools.

@@theobserver6639 I think you're grossly misinformed my friend. Its not really your fault but you are waaay off. Cheers.
No!
But why not? Do you really want to mirror that republican beast south of your border?
Actually, the monarch is very tightly bonded to the Canadian Constitution, and there's a very big chance it will always remain here, even if, in fact, UK abolishes. Because according to article 41 of Canadian Constitutional Act 1982, major changes like any change to the royal figurehead, require unanimous consent from all 11 governments of Canada (the federal government and the 10 provincial governments). But having all 11 governments on the same page at same time isn't something we can expect to see so easily and quickly. So many political theorists are pretty content to call the removal of monarchy in Canada as, in fact, practically impossible.
Rest in Peace
Have your royal representatives in Canada but the monarchy should pay for them not Canadian taxpayers
I don't they do. I think Canadians Only pay when they do state visits and any more made from Canadian tourism during that time goes back into the system. A president would cost more
yes
More than it needs Trudoloph
England? The Queen of England? but Queen Romana Didulo of Canada.
God Save the King!
No but we also don’t need a dictator that you prop
Not really but neither the Liberal party nor the Conservative party will kick the monarchy out
Republicanism is a front for French neo-colonial ambitions and should be resisted at all costs.
I don't agree. Trying to oversimplify how people are identify themselves in way more than only one community around the world so you can fit it into a catch all one word label ending in -ism while for example feeling resentful towards everyone who speaks French doesn't interest me too at all.
LES FRANCOPHONES NE SONT PAS DES VICTIMES
Why have a queen if you have wef and the who deciding
We can keep on til London bridge is down. But we don't want Charles and Camilla
C & C should definitely be the end. Camilla destroyed Diana, the mother of the next generation of princes. The thought of her wearing QE2’s crown makes me nauseous.
Oh. Same!
nooooo. get rid of it NOW
Republics are so boring, don't you think...?
The former President of the United States showcased to the world why and how the republican model fails as the best model of government. The insurrection at the US Capital, at the direction of America's head of state would never occur under a constitutional monarchy. The Canadian system of government, with a politically neutral head of state who is dedicated to serve the whole country - and not just the folks who voted for her - is the best model. As a Canadian I've never worried about a situation where a PM refuses to leave office - because it is Her Majesty's Canadian government, and not the PM's government.
Well said ! And true too for Australia.
Well good luck! Look at what happen to the US and other republic governments. 😅
It’s time to let the monarchy go. I think there should be a referendum
It's impossible to remove the queen in canada
@@electronsd Please explain why it's impossible.
@@justinsbeaver9010 because of the Canadian constitution made it impossible

@@justinsbeaver9010 figure it out genius
21st century and still with kings and queen around Europe!!! Crazy....WHY????????
Because they can and still have a monarch
Because we understand that a constitutional monarchy is the best model. Most Republican are riddled with currupt leaders.
I believe that we do need queen Elizabeth to encourage those working in essential services that are vital to Canada; People who sometimes are sent to other nations to help provide security like this young lady who was sent to New Zealand.
Every time someone in the Royal family dies, there is talk about Canada ditching the monarchy, and becoming a republic, or a "free country." But it's not going to happen any time soon, and not that simple.
But since we are much closer to the US of A than we are to the UK, we are distracted. Many Canadians want desperately to be like the United States, or even become a part of them. But other Canadians want an identity and to be distinct from Americans. Still others want to still remain part of the monarchy. We are quite divided.
I think 'Supreme Leader True-dough' might have replaced Queen Elizabeth in the hearts of Canadians?
Lol.
Is Tru-doe not the king of Canada?
He'd make a better queen, but that position is unavailable...
Prince Charles will hard time as monarch of Canada.
Nah he won't, he cant get hard anymore.
Yes we do it’s a system that works and it’s provided us with stability , our constitution make its 99.9 percent unable to get rid of if
Plus aboriginals consider the relationship between the crown sacred
It would need all levels of govt a yes and a yes from aboriginals
It’s here to stay embrace it
Extremely well said!! Our system of government- a constitutional monarchy - has served us very well.
Canada is the only country in The Western Hampshire that has not had a rebellion, a revolution, a civil war,
or a dictatorship. We negotiated our independence and were granted it. Our Parliament declared HM Queen Elizabeth II "Queen of Canada" in 1952. When she is here, she is not a foreign royal, but our own.
@@MrWilhelm1950 being a military man the monarchy does a lot more than just ribbon cutting and ceremonial stuff.
A lot of new comers are not educated enough on how our constitutional government works.
Plus we will never get rid of it not in our lifetimes due to the complex constitution, it amazes me how many people say I don’t understand that constitution.
Every single man and woman or they have learned about the constitution through military college which is 300 pages
Quit living in the past man. It’s time to modernize and legitimize Canada as an independent nation.

Absolutely not, when the Queen is gone that's it, Prince Philip was a very very big part of the firm, I don't care anymore they lived in a different world, the rest of the family now are a family of wealthy and privilege.
