Queen Elizabeth II has officially surpassed her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria as the longest reigning British monarch: 63 years. The Queen is still Canada’s head of state, but whether or not the British monarchy is still relevant in this country is up for debate.
A May 2015 Forum Research poll found 39 per cent of respondents were in favour of abolishing the monarchy when Queen Elizabeth dies, and 73 per cent said our head of state should be Canadian-born and live here.
We asked people on the street, is the British monarchy still relevant in Canada?
