This week, an Angus Reid poll reported sixty percent of Canadians don't want King Charles III to be Canada's monarch. That comes as the UK will mark the coronation of its new sovereign on Saturday, May 6. Whether Canada still needs a symbolic monarch has been up for debate ever since Charles' mother, Queen Elizabeth II, died last year.
