As the Queen marks seventy years on the throne, this engaging work examines Canada's constitutional monarchy.
As Queen Elizabeth II celebrates her Platinum Jubilee in 2022 and nears the conclusion of her reign, much discussion and debate has taken place about the monarchy in Canada.
A Resilient Crown examines a broad range of issues related to Canada's constitutional monarchy, its present state, and its future.
