The article critiques Canada's monarchical system as an irrational and expensive relic, particularly in light of its distance from the nation it symbolizes. However, during moments of crisis, such as economic tensions with the US under President Trump, the monarchy's role gains significance, presenting itself as a stabilizing force. The visit of King Charles III exemplifies this phenomenon, where public skepticism fades, revealing the monarchy's underlying value in national identity and unity amidst uncertain political landscapes.
Canadian monarchy, an irrational remnant of colonialism, faces skepticism, yet during crises like King Charles III's visit, the public's affection for it may resurface.
