A Leger poll for the Association of Canadian Studies found that 56 per cent of respondents did not agree with swearing allegiance to the Queen.

New Canadians have to swear an oath to the monarchy at citizenship ceremonies including a pledge to “be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada, her heirs and successors.“

The poll asked whether, “as a Canadian, we should all agree to be faithful and bear true allegiance” to the Queen and her heirs. Almost three-quarters of people living in Quebec opposed the oath, compared to only 47 per cent in Alberta.

It is past time to abolish the monarchy. A relic of extreme privilege and colonialism. AbolishTheMonarchy

As much as I respect Queen Elizabeth, and the years she has served, I agree with the below.

Baiting this story over and over in the Queen's autumn years strikes me as easy click-bait, it's ill advised and even less thought out.....what problem does this solve? without clutching pearls the answer is not so clear.

Many other countries to move to that don’t require it
