A messy, mindless collection of texts arguing about Canada's own aristocracy rule over the serfs.

What is current status of the Crown in Canada? This collection of articles features writers who examine the continuously unfolding of the relationship between our royal tradition in light of current Canadian realities. With a focus on a number of critical issues, including right relations with Indigenous people, the institutions of vice-regal offices (Governor General and Lieutenant Governors), the changing views of parliamentarians and the public as well as the inevitable prospect of succession. Although this book is a collection of writings from 2019, the current global pandemic creates a very unique vantage point from which to consider the necessity and stability of our ongoing relationship with Crown.
