Infos

An integral part of Canada's political culture, the constitutional monarchy has evolved over the 150 years since Confederation to become a uniquely Canadian institution.Canada inherited the constitutional monarchy from Britain even before Confederation in 1867. In the 150 years since then, the Crown has shaped, and been shaped by, Canada s achievement of independence, its robust federalism, the unique identity of Quebec, and its relationship with Indigenous peoples. What has this Canadian Crown contributed to the Canada of the twenty-first century? How is this historic yet resilient institution perceived today? The essays in this book respond to these questions from a variety of perspectives, encompassing the arts, the role of the vice-regal representatives, the Indigenous peoples, and the contemporary position of the monarch. In discussing whether there is a distinctly Canadian monarchy, the authors look beyond Canada s borders, too, and explore how Canada s development has influenced other Commonwealth realms.
