Not according to the article you posted.
Just over half of respondents, at 51 per cent, agreed with the statement that the monarchy in Canada is outdated, does not have a place in the 21st century, and “we have to get rid of it.” In comparison, 33 per cent said the monarchy is an important part of the country’s history.
And
On the other hand, the number of people who believed the monarchy “remains a positive symbol for Canada” rose by four points, to 52 per cent from 48, compared to 2021 data.
That seems to back up what I said? 51 percent, a majority, don’t see any reason to continue on with what they see as an outdated institution.
If it doesn’t affect anything, why the sentiment “we have to get rid of it”, arguably those would be the people that think they still hold power.
And even more than that amount see it as a positive….
We have to get rid of it because it’s entirely unjustifiable that a ‘royal’ family exists regardless of the actual power that they wield. We’ve long moved past the concept of divine right of kings, there is no ethical basis for this institution. Those are the grounds on which it must be got rid of. That they are powerless money sucks that do nothing for us is just the cherry on top.
51 per cent, agreed with the statement that […] “we have to get rid of it.” In comparison, 33 per cent said the monarchy is an important part of the country’s history.
What kind of polling is this? It is not a contradictory standpoint to both say that something is an important part of a countries history, and it should be removed anyways.
I don’t think the issue is the people participating, it’s the design of the poll itself
