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.
