This post is a bit late as the Canadian
Future Party has already chosen their
leader at their founding convention. I
did still want to do a profile on Dominic
Cardy's views as he will likely be a
contender at any leadership review after
the election. The hold-up in posting this
article was getting him to answer the
survey I sent him. I have finally received
an answer to the first question which
indirectly answers the others.

"What are your personal views on the monarchy?"

Combined with Cardy's previous statement a few things
can be deduced;
- He likely won't seek to diminish the monarchy but he also
won't repair any of the damage that has been inflicted over
the last decade.
- He is, nominally, a monarchist.
- He is interested how the monarchy might be used to benefit
Canada.
This final point is interesting as a big problem over the years
has been political leaders not wanting to involve the
monarchy at all. Someone who is willing to try make use of
the monarchy to strengthen Canada has potential to be a net
positive as the Royal Family has always been ready to serve.
Mr. Cardy has not really said much on the monarchy
unprompted. He did criticize the Yukon municipal councilors
who refused to swear an oath to the Crown but that was more
for rule of law reasons.
Overall, the score of one crown given to him during the lead
up to the party's founding convention, is to me, fair.
