Canadians are once again dissatisfied with Charles III
"We are ruled by some British dude in a wizard's suit".
Canadians are still not thrilled with their new King. Some have already shared their impression of the coronation: "Some British dude in a wizard costume got a cool new hat that symbolizes his power over 15 countries".
The Angus Reid Institute conducted a poll of the Canadian population in April. 60% said they did not consider Charles III the head of state. 48% admitted that they just didn't like him as a person. Most people in the country still have not forgiven him for the way he treated Princess Diana. For the same reason, Canadians didn't like Queen Camilla — they can't stand Carl's wife either. 54% of those surveyed confessed that they simply hated her.
Canadians' dislike of the monarchy extends not only to its representatives, but to the institution as a whole. 49% of respondents said the royal family no longer matters to them and they have no emotion for it. Another 28% believe it is losing its significance. 52% of those who responded to the Angus Reid Institute believe it is time for Canada to stop being a constitutional monarchy.
The inhabitants of the province of Quebec are particularly tired of kings and queens. 32% of those surveyed there said they were too indifferent to the monarchy to have an opinion about it. Another 46% reported a "negative" or "very negative" attitude toward the king.
Quebec City residents are even more determined: 84% said the royal family is irrelevant, 50% believe it represents outdated values, and 76% opposed the recognition of Charles as head of state. 92% demanded the severing of ties with the monarchy.
