THE CROWNED REPUBLIC
A quiet conflict which has
long simmered just below the
surface of Canadian life has
now come into the open. It is
the issue of the monarchy ver-
sus republicanism.
The fact it has now surfaced
for all •to see and debate on is
another indication of Canada's
groping for a renewed sense of
nationhood.
But the fact it is a quiet con-
flict, limited to occasional out-
bursts in Parliament and only
recently commented on editori-
ally hy. leading Canadian news-
papers, suggests most Cana-
.dians probably do not feel very
strongly on the subject one way
or the other.
The flag debate was rife with
charges that advocates of the
Maple Leaf flag were setting
Canada on the road to republi-
canism. The issue was renewed
when the Post Office announced
plans to dispense with the
crown bedecked Canadian coat
of arms on 'mail trucks, in fav-
or of a Maple Leaf.
As Conservative leader John
Diefenbaker put it in the
House: "We are facing in this
nation , . . a form of under-.
ground revolution mounted in
the silent precincts ' of the
Prime Minister's office . . . to
scrap the armorial bearings of
this nation and remove all ref-
erence to the monarch." *„
Mr. Diefenbaker's charge has
of course been denied by gov-
ernment front -benchers. But
the fact remains that the Gov-
ernment does indeed seem set
on this courte, although to say
it is the intention of the Pear-
son cabinet to make Canada a
republic seems a far-fetched
proposition.
A realistic explanation prob-
ably is that Canada is virtually
already a republic, in fact if
'not in name.
Canada's transitiqn from col-
ony to "croivned republic" has.
come slowly, but irreversibly.
Dating- from the Statute of
Westminster - in 1981 which.
gave Canada complete inde-
pendence, this 'country has
been tugging at the, tether of
British control.
Just -because government ed-
icts are issued in the Queen's
name., and be'canse all the tra,
•ditional trappings of the
monarchial system are still em-
ployed on state occasions, does
not make Canada a monarchy
in practice as well as in name.
Several leading Canadian
newspapers are now engaged in
a debate on where this "creep-
ing republicanism" will take ue.
The debate was launched by
the Toronto Globe and Mail,
which challenged its ideological
arch -rival, the Toronto Star, to

declare where it stood on the
question.
The Globe, of course, sup-
ports the traditional establish-
ment of the country and could
thus be expected to be strongly
pro-monarchiel. The Star, also
as expected,- did indeed answer
the Globe invitatiqn, and came
out flatly in favor , of making
Canada a republic. The Tele-
gram of Toronto entered the
debate by lining up on the side
of the monarchy. One of its fea-
ture columnists — an English-
man--- even declared he would
leave the country if Canada
ever became a republic.
The Young Liberal Universi-
ty association and several Que-
bec MPs, have called for the
abolition of the monarchy in
Canada, but the issue has never
before been so widely debated
as in recent weeks.
The discussion on 'the merits
of the monarchy versus repub-
licanism has so far been re-
markably free of emotional hy,
perbole.
The reason for this, as sug-
gested above, may be that Can-
adians really don't care very
much about it, The arguement
that only the British monarchy
/has kept Canada from 'falling
into the complete grip of the
United States doesn't mean
much anymore.
Forty per ceet of Canadians
today are of British origin,
with 30 per cent having French
background and another 30 per
cent various other origins.
•A recent Gallup poll indicat-
ed about one-third of Canadians
would vote in favor of this -
country joining • the United
States.
.The' monarchy, it is clear, no
longer beckons Canadians as it
once did., But there is no sign
of a sufficient anti -monarchial
feeling in this country to- bring
about any early change no mat-
ter how many maple leaves be-
deck the public institutions of
this country.
