The historic constitutional monarchy in Canada has shown considerable resilience and durability during the unprecedented seventy-year reign of Queen Elizabeth II. Marking the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022, A Resilient Crown examines a broad range of topics related to the role of the Crown in Canada.
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. Topics include Crown-Indigenous relations; the foundational place of the Crown in Canada’s system of government; the viceregal offices and the role of the administrator; the Crown and francophone Canada; the prime ministers and the Queen; royal tours; and Queen Elizabeth herself.

Drawing from academics, serving and retired public servants, and well-known commentators, this book brings together a rich collection of essays that delve into the Crown in Canada today.
