Canada has a meagre history with referendums, but the unpopular leader of a minority government lacks the legitimacy to choose our symbols.
Australia will not replace Liz on its $5 bill with Chuck, choosing instead a design to honour Indigenous peoples. Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says he prefers removing the British monarch as head of state.
Here’s a radical suggestion — how about letting Canadians decide on this nation’s symbols and institutions? In Canada, however, the very mention of a referendum has become taboo. Canada has only held three national referendums in its history, none of which helped lend credibility to the process. The most recent referendum to amend the Constitution based on the Charlottetown Accord was defeated in 1992 , further souring the approach.
