How much of the monarchy can Canada realistically get rid of?

The Big Story

About this episode

Polls show a lot of support among Canadians for reexamining, and perhaps even ending, our relationship with the monarchy. This is clearly an opportunity to do something. But what does that something actually entail? 

What would happen if Canada tried to reopen the Constitution to become a republic? If that's not feasible, what other steps could we take to distance ourselves from the royal family? And in 10 years, who will be on the Toonie?

GUEST: Stephen Maher, journalist and author, writing in ipolitics.ca
