| | Monarchy in Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Tony O'Donohue, a Canadian republican and civic politician, observed that the Act of Settlement 1701 explicitly excludes Roman Catholics from the throne and the Queen is Supreme Governor of the Church of England, requiring her to be an Anglican. | | | In March 2004, Citizens for a Canadian Republic proposed changes that would avoid a new round of constitutional negotiations by advocating a parliamentary reform of the office of the Governor General, an office generally expected to be transformed into a presidency should the monarchy end. | | | At the same time, 48% of Canadians say that "the constitutional monarchy is outmoded and would prefer a republican system of government with an elected head of state", and two-thirds (65%) believe the royals are merely celebrities and should not have any formal role in Canada. |

| | Although it was a British statute, the BNA Act was drafted entirely by Canadians at the Quebec Conference of 1864; it was passed by the British without amendment. | | | The British monarchy remained the executive authority over the nation and was represented in Canada by the Governor General (federally) and Lieutenant Governors (provincially). | | | The process of ‘Canadianizing’ the monarchy began in 1927 with the passing of the Royal and Parliamentary Titles Act by the British Parliament. |

| | Monarchy-Free Canada - Republican Quotations |
| | Canadians, who have often led Australia in constitutional change, would do better this time to follow the Australian lead, and adopt a minimal republican state, one that retains the essence of parliamentary government and changes only the way the head of state is chosen. | | | What a terrible insult the Act of Settlement is to the Canadian people, with such discrimination rooted in a three hundred year old law that is offensive and demeaning. | | | ~ Brian Tobin, Canadian Industry Minister, on John Manley's republican comments. |

| | In spite of this mood the November 1999 republican referendum failed, primarily because the republicans were divided whereas the monarchists were united in their opposition to change. | | | Leading human rights lawyer Geoffrey Robertson QC believes the Act of Settlement 1701 may be affected by the European convention on human rights, which became part of UK law two months ago when the Human Rights Act came into force. | | | With the Act of Settlement removed, any future British monarch marrying a Roman Catholic would be bound by Canon Law to ensure that any Royal children were raised as Roman Catholics. |

| | Michael A. Dobbin @ Dobbinnian.com - The Monarchy in Canada |
| | In a multi-cultural, immigrant nation such as this, where the majority is not necessarily of British descent, these symbols, it is argued, are of little importance in a modern era. | | | The only practical difference would be that ‘royal ascent’ would become ‘presidential ascent’ as a new President would move in across the street from the Prime Minister on Sussex Drive in Ottawa. | | | In that case, the head-of-state would cease to be the monarch, with the title likely being passed on to a President. |

| | This paper addresses this question in terms of both Canadian laws governing child pornography on the Internet, and the role of these laws in terms of wider international legislation and norms in this area. | | | Summary: This paper is written about the movement from the Welfare State to neo-liberalism in that social programs and social justice are no longer the priorities of Canadian governments. | | | Because the American and Canadian relationship is uneven to begin with, it has been no surprise that the United States has benefited disproportionately to the agreement. |

| | THE LOYALIST'S LAIR |
| | Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is Canada's monarch and head of state. | | | The only reason Canada exists is because the Northern Colonies (present day Canada) stayed loyal to the Crown during the American Revolution, fought back ten invading American Armies during the War of 1812 (between June 1812 and December 1814) and decided to become a unified country under Queen Victoria at Confederation in 1867. | | | Canada has been a monarchy since its inception and should continue to be one. |
