Ahead of Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Sunday, September 18, refused to reopen a constitutional debate over the place of the British monarchy, whose sovereign is automatically Canada’s head of state.

“For me, it’s not a priority. It’s not even my intention to discuss.”The head of the Canadian government said in an interview with Radio-Canada in London. “Making such a profound change in the world’s best, most stable system is, to me, not a good idea right now”Determined Mr. Trudeau, notes “A Complicated and Complicated Moment”.

That’s a five-point increase over a year, according to the poll released Friday, which found only 44% of Canadians had a favorable opinion of Charles III.
