The final step to Canadian independence
Democratically selecting our own resident head of state!
"What is a republic and what does it mean for Canada? Click here for everything you always wanted to know about a Canadian republic, but were afraid to ask.
If you believe the monarchy is out of step with 21st century Canada, you'll be happy to know you're in the majority. Check here for our section on recent opinion polls to see how support for a republic is higher than ever in Canadian history.
Perhaps the most common fallacy about the monarchy is that when we do end our constitutional relationship with it, indigenous treaties will have to be renegotiated. This section has all the details to settle that issue once and for all.
A favourite argument of those who wish to discourage talk of a republic is to claim our constitution in regards to the monarchy has essentially been locked up and the key thrown away. We have the facts that say that's not true. Not only is it possible to become a republic, it could be easy. (Coming soon!)
The belief that Canada should shed the monarchy and become a republic is not a recent concept. While lots of contemporary, well-known Canadians have expressed their support, many have come before us, and more than a few at a time when they were ostracized for their views.
Check out our page Quotations from notable Canadians supporting a republic. You may be surprised at the names.
