Extractions: Policies Lets Keep Our Constitution And Our Crown The Constitution of Canada declares that the Government of Canada and the Commander in Chief of the Forces are vested in the Queen. Her Majesty is one of three parts of the Parliament of Canada (Queen, Senate and Commons). She is Sovereign of the Order of Canada, Sovereign of the Order of Military Merit, Colonel-in-Chief of numerous units of the Canadian Forces, Honorary Commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and Patron of many institutions and organisations in various walks of Canadian life. Canada Has Always Been A Monarchy From the days of earliest settlement the only form of society Canadians have known has been a monarchy. The native people themselves had a tribal idea of kingship. Our tradition of monarchy was French and British and became, as it now is, distinctly Canadian. In 1867 Canadians freely and deliberately reaffirmed their allegiance to the Monarchy. They have done so at each subsequent stage in their political development. Monarchy More Democratic Than Republic?

Extractions: In 1867 the British Parliament passed the British North American Act Some aspects of the Canadian government remained under control of the British government, but Canada acted as an independent country for the most part. The British North American Act provided Canada with its own constitution . The Act gave the federal government the power to create economic policy, such as trade, commerce and banking institutions. The provincial governments were given responsibility for areas of a local and private nature, such as education and health. The Act also gave the Canadian Parliament the power to create new provinces out of the territories. There are currently 10 provinces and three territories, with the most recent territory, Nunavut, being named in 1999. The Constitution Act, 1982 , ended Canada's need for the British Parliament to pass constitutional amendments, and enacted the Charter of the Rights and Freedoms , which guaranteed certain civil rights and freedoms.

Extractions: Family relationships are also legal relationships the law sets out some of the rights and obligations of parents to children, and children to parents, and of spouses to each other. One's legal status affects one's liability to pay taxes and one's eligibility to receive benefits such as health insurance coverage or pensions. So, law is much more than sensational criminal trials or speed limits on the highway. It is an expression of the common good and the fundamental values of society, and it is one of the tools that the state uses to maintain order in society. The Canadian legal system has evolved as Canada has evolved, and is today one of the unifying elements in a pluralistic society. Three Legal Traditions hen the judges in Canada's highest court make a decision on a matter before them, they may draw on the three different traditions of law that Canada inherited when it was created in 1867. When the European colonizers claimed the North American continent for their various monarchs, they found the land already inhabited by indigenous societies with their own social structure, culture and laws. English-speaking colonizers brought with them their own legal tradition, the common law. This body of law had evolved from decisions made by the English royal courts of justice since the Norman Conquest (1066) and it applies in most English-speaking countries.

Extractions: I was a candidate for Australians for Constitutional Monarchy/No Republic in the recent voluntary voting for delegates to the Constitutional Convention to be held in Canberra in February. Australians for Constitutional Monarchy are far from all being grey-haired raving royalists and/or far right-wing fundamentalists Australians for Constitutional Monarchy are far from all being grey-haired raving royalists and/or far right-wing fundamentalists. Our members form a very diverse group, having in common an enormous respect for the Australian Constitution. We are not against change as such. We do believe there is no such thing as a "minimalist republic". The governor-general cannot simply be re-named "the president" and never mind the monarch - just drop her off the top of the pyramid. Any major change to the structure of power at the apex of the system of government we have in Australia threatens and undermines the checks and balances carefully put in place, not only by the founding fathers who drew up our constitution, but also by the people of the separate states who voted our federation into being. The Australian Constitution has been called a simple and readable document, easy to understand. Well, so it is at one level. However, when seven High Court judges, learned in the law, disagree four-three as they did in the

Extractions: Other Ways of Classifying Governments This is a rather straight-forward classification by constitutional structure which leaves very little open to interpretation or debate. If the head of state is a monarch, then it's a monarchy, period. If the central government shares power with the constituent parts, then it's a federal republic. Very neat and clean. Notice, however, that it doesn't concern itself with such things as civil rights. England, France and the United States are scattered into different categories despite the fact that they generally treat their citizens alike. The Netherlands and Sweden are lumped in with Saudi Arabia and Iran despite the enormous difference in how much power the monarch wields. Also, the category of "republic" is something of a catch-all set aside for all the countries which aren't something else. While comparing the level of violence in America with the level elsewhere, Ted Robert Gurr charted violence in most of the world's nations according to several indicators such as political system which I've transformed into the map here. He said the classification system was devised by Arthur S. Banks and Phillip M. Gregg. Generally, this system is based on the underlying power structure of society, rather than its nominal constitutional organization.
Gauntlet Opinions - The Canadian Crown: No Mere Relic canada s constitutional monarchy has reemerged into the media spotlight.But why, in this day and age, do Canadians need a monarchy? http://gauntlet.ucalgary.ca/story/5182
Extractions: by Chris Blatch , Gauntlet Staff Print this story With the recent passing of Alberta's Lieutenant-Governor, Canada's constitutional monarchy has reemerged into the media spotlight. But why, in this day and age, do Canadians need a monarchy? Most Monarchists faced with this question retreat to the old standby response of "tradition", which is just as weak as many of the attacks on the Crown. Because it's the way things have always been done is almost as horrible a reason for doing something as "change for changes sake" is. There must be deliberate reasons for keeping the Monarchy that prove its worth as more beneficial than detrimental to Canadians. But how can something that is so often described as a symbol be a necessary component of Canadian society? The Monarchy has become a sort of symbol that is bestowed upon everything that is "best" and admired in the Canadian ideal (in that the title "Royal" is bestowed on our Houses of Learning and Arts, military regiments and police forces, and upon titles and awards given to our best, brightest, and most noble citizens). However, we must make the distinction between symbol and a symbolic role.

Extractions: Do Canadians want King Charles as their next head of state? If not, then constitutional expert Edward McWhinney of Vancouver has a novel idea that will keep the current Prince of Wales from attaining top-dog status in the Canadian government, yet still keep the countrys structure as a constitutional monarchy intact. Becoming a republic, after all, isnt as easy as it may seem. Our countrys entire system of government is predicated on a royal head of state (unlike in the U.S., where the head of state is the president): the monarch must approve bills, regulations and even summons, and dissolves Parliament. Still, the inevitable ascension of Prince Charles to the throne, accompanied by his current betrothed, the divorced Camilla Parker Bowles, could be a blow to the already waivering support for the monarchy in Canada. The most recent poll on Canadians attitudes toward the monarchy was conducted in March 2002. It found that 50 per cent of respondents believe Canada should preserve the monarchy, 43 per cent favour ridding the country of its historic ties to the British throne, and seven per cent have no opinion. But, in Australia, the number who support the countrys becoming a republic rises to 61 per cent, from 51 per cent, if Prince Charles ascends the throne.

I note with trepidation the many outstanding speakers who have graced your podiums before me and recognize that The Canadian Club provides an invaluable service to our fellow citizens in honouring our people, our heritage and the many precious Institutions that are the foundation of our nation. (It does pose a challenge to say something different to you, however on the topic of our beloved country). As we are still in Her Majesty's Jubilee Year, I thought I would spend our time speaking on some of the unique aspects of Canada's Constitutional Monarchy. I know the mere mention of the words "Canadian Constitution" can be guaranteed in some circles to induce a glazed and somewhat terrified response. Yet as Canadians, we are blessed with a constitution that has insured our survival as a Nation by being flexible enough to withstand the strains of being one of the worlds best recognized, most pluralistic and most successfully diverse nations. The significance and symbolism of our constitution is to be found in the rule of law by which we are governed and in the agreements by which we all live together as a constitutional monarchy.
