Extractions: THE FUTURE OF CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHY: THE NORTH AMERICAN MODEL 2030 A.D. Democratization sometimes seems inextricably embedded in globalization, one of the tsunamis of change. Diverging from that perspective is John Poast's vision of the future under a modified constitutional monarchy. Explicating that vision is a scenario sketching a pathway to a nonhereditary, meritocratic monarchy that would require documented competence of all persons entering governmental service. John Poast, the author, teaches political science at Hawaii Pacific Universityv.k.p. "The monarchy will insure that social peace and stability are maintained under the principles of democracy, and the orderly access to power of the distinct alternatives of government will be according to the will of the people" (King Juan Carlos I). by John Poast We refer to the era of the Kennedy presidency as Camelot, a mythical reference to the romance and fairy tale quality often given to kings, princes and knights of the realm. There is still a fascination with kings, royalty, and certainly handsome princes (no doubt just waiting to make some beautiful maiden their bride as Grace Kelly showed the world in the 1950s). We read daily of the personal lives of Princess Di and Prince Charles. We can't seem to get enough of their albeit trashy stories, and they are nearly as popular in the United States as they are in England, despite a revolution to throw off the tyranny of the English king back in 1776. Our vocabulary is still filled with drug czars, kingpins, and movie queens while we drive regals, royales and imperials. Monarchy, having been a principal form of government for at least ten thousand years, is still practiced in many parts of the world in both its constitutional and absolute forms.

Extractions: No easy answers Proponents of direct election failed to win the support of a majority of delegates to the Constitutional Convention and, in the end, a compromise solution was reached. Known as the Turnbull model, it involves replacing the governor general and the governors in each of the six states by an Australian-born president. A single candidate would be proposed by the prime minister, but the nomination would need confirmation from a two-thirds majority of both houses of the federal Parliament. Supporters of this model point out that it will compel the prime minister to nominate a non-partisan candidate of high calibre. It will also require consultation with opposition parties to ensure that the candidate has all-party support, because no government has held a two-thirds majority of both Houses since the end of the Second World War. To ensure that the nominee is non-partisan, the Turnbull proposal requires that the person must not have held elected office in the previous five years. A

Extractions: Français Contact Us Help Search ... Printable Version Canada's system of government is based on the Westminster style of responsible government in which the executive sits as part of the legislature and is accountable to an elected House of Commons or provincial legislature. The manner in which Canadians govern themselves involves three defining characteristics: a constitutional monarchy, federalism and parliamentary democracy. Constitutional Monarchy As Canada is a constitutional monarchy, the executive authority of government is vested in the Crown, and exercised on the advice of the Prime Minister of Canada or provincial Premier and his or her Cabinet. The Crown is personified by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and represented in Canada by the Governor General, and at provincial level by Lieutenant Governors. Royal Assent is required before federal or provincial legislation becomes law. Federalism Canada's ten provinces and three territories comprise a federation that is distinguished by a distribution of powers between the federal Parliament and the legislatures of the provinces.

Extractions: Government Canada is a constitutional monarchy, a federal state and parliamentary democracy with two official languages and two systems of law: civil law and common law. In 1982, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms was entrenched in the Canadian Constitution. Canada's Constitution was initially a British statute, the British North America Act, 1867, and until 1982, its amendment required action by the British Parliament. Since 1982 when the Constitution was "patriated" - that is, when Canadians obtained the right to amend the Constitution in Canada - a this founding statute has been known as the Constitution Act, 1867. The Monarchy From the days of French colonization and British rule to today's self-government, Canadians have lived under a monarchy. Although Canada has been a self-governing "Dominion" in the British Empire since 1867, full independence for Canada, as for all British colonies, was only established in 1931 by the Statute of Westminster. Elizabeth II, Queen of England, is also Canada's Queen, and sovereign of a number of realms. In her capacity as Queen of Canada, she delegates her powers to a Canadian Governor General. Canada is thus a constitutional monarchy: the Queen rules but does not govern. The Federal Government Canada's 33 "Fathers of Confederation" adopted a federal form of government in 1867. A federal state is one that brings together a number of different political communities under a common government for common purposes and separate local or regional governments for the particular needs of each region.

Extractions: The Brunswickan Printer Friendly Version Over the past week, I have been advised by several people that I should stop refuting others' arguments for a republic, and instead present my arguments for a constitutional monarchy in Canada. After careful consideration, and looking over my past three letters, I have come to the same conclusion; it is time for some fresh thoughts. As a result, I am writing one last letter under my name, in which I will present the fundamental reasons why I believe in maintaining Canada's constitutional monarchy and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II as the Head of State: (4) The Monarchy unites English and French Canada unlike anything else. French- Canadians have chosen the Monarchy several times in their history: as shown when their cultural and religious leaders rejected overtures to join the rebellious colonists during the American Revolution, or as in 1867 when they participated enthusiastically in the choice of a monarchy under the present Royal House as the form of government of the newly created Canadian kingdom, etcetera.

I note with trepidation the many outstanding speakers who have graced your podiums before me and recognize that The Canadian Club provides an invaluable service to our fellow citizens in honouring our people, our heritage and the many precious Institutions that are the foundation of our nation. (It does pose a challenge to say something different to you, however on the topic of our beloved country). As we are still in Her Majesty's Jubilee Year, I thought I would spend our time speaking on some of the unique aspects of Canada's Constitutional Monarchy. I know the mere mention of the words "Canadian Constitution" can be guaranteed in some circles to induce a glazed and somewhat terrified response. Yet as Canadians, we are blessed with a constitution that has insured our survival as a Nation by being flexible enough to withstand the strains of being one of the worlds best recognized, most pluralistic and most successfully diverse nations. The significance and symbolism of our constitution is to be found in the rule of law by which we are governed and in the agreements by which we all live together as a constitutional monarchy.

Extractions: That topic is just food for thought. Agree or disagree if you so desire. On the question of an Iraqi government let me just state one thing. Governments are created beased upon the beliefs, and cultures of the people in that country. It would not seem logical for the United States to force their system which works for their society and culture onto a different society and culture. The United States says it liberated Iraq for the people. It should take into account the history and culture of the people in Iraq when attempting to help get a new government started. Canada would recommend that the United States do a little research before eagerly implementing their system onto another country in which this system may or may not work. To the Ambassador of Panama, yes it is true that there is a large majority of Shi'ites in Iraq and that many have uttered anti-American slogans. You also stated that these people must not have power. I ask you, if a free democracy was implemented in Iraq, would that not set up the very likely possible of an Islamic Theocracy taking power? Perhaps digest that idea for a while and you will see that is most likely.

Her full title is Elizabeth II, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith. Alfred (King of Wessex in southern England 871-99) started the process of unifying Anglo-Saxon England under a single king. Not until 1603, when James VI of Scotland inherited the English throne from Elizabeth I as James I, did England and Scotland have the same monarch. The Monarchy Queen Elizabeth II has been on the throne since 6 February, 1952, celebrating her Golden jubilee (50 years since her accession) in 2002. Over the Golden Jubilee weekend (1-4 June) 25,000 people attended two concerts in the Buckingham Palace grounds and about a million people came to watch the Queen parade through London in the gold State Coach (built in 1762).
