62% oppose putting King Charles’ face on Canadian currency

According to a study by the Angus Reid Institute, 62% of Canadians oppose putting King Charles’ face on Canadian currency.

Conversely, 38% support having Charles’ face on loonies, toonies and the $20 bill.

Provincially, Quebecers are those least in favour of putting King Charles’ face on Canadian currency, at 26%, while Manitobans (47%) and Saskatchewanians (47%) are the most.

“The monarch’s role in Canada is multi-faceted and while many oppose recognizing Charles as King of Canada overall, more oppose the individual facets involved. Approaching two-thirds say they oppose swearing an oath to the King (64%) and singing ‘God Save the King’ (64%) at official ceremonies. 62% do not want to see Charles on their $20 bills or toonies.”

The study also found that just 27% of Canadians believe Canada should continue as a constitutional monarchy for generations to come.
