Angus Reid - April, 2022

Only 26% want to continue as a monarchy for generations to come.

91% of those who want it to end believe it's worth changing the constitution to allow it, despite the difficulty.

Half of Canadians say the Royal Family is no longer relevant to them personally, while 23 % say it is just as relevant as ever, or more so (2%).

"Barbados’ decision last year to take this step is seen by some as the first in an inevitable cascade of nations looking for this extra degree of independence. For their part, Canadians feel that countries making this decision are following the right path – three-in-five say this (58%). Furthermore, those who do not say it is the right decision largely withhold judgement, while one-in-twelve (8%) say that this is the wrong choice."

No preference - 31%

"Only 21% of Canadians say that, thinking of Canada’s constitution, they would prefer for the country to remain a monarchy, down three points since a similar Research Co. poll conducted in February 2021 and the lowest level recorded in six separate surveys since 2009."  

Angus Reid - November 2021

While Queen Elizabeth remains on the throne, 55 % said they support her as Canada’s official head of state — a significant decline from the 64 % in 2016.

Should the queen step down or die, enthusiasm for the monarchy drops further, with 66 % saying they are opposed to recognizing “King Charles” as head of state, a figure that has increased from 54 % in 2016.

When asked whether Canada should remain a constitutional monarchy in future generations, 52 % of respondents said no, more than double the 25 % who said yes.

72 % said the royal family is no longer relevant to them or are becoming less relevant, up six percentage points from 2020.
