"Normally there's somewhere between 30 and 32 per cent of the population against the monarchy, but this year the percentage has gone up to 50 per cent," Canseco says. — Half of Canadians don't want a monarchy."
Other polls conducted in recent months show that there are more dissenters to the monarchical system — about 60%.
