CFP Leadership Candidates and the Monarchy: Dominic Cardy

2/16/2025

 
Picture
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.

Canadian Future Party Leadership Race: Views on the Monarchy

10/27/2024

 
This article is a collection of responses from candidate(s) for 
the leadership of the Canadian Future Party 
regarding the
monarchy. 
It will continue to be updated as more replies
roll in. This is a bit different from previous surveys as this is
the party's founding convention - they don't even have a
constitution yet. There is also only one candidate but that may
​change, who knows? The candidate in question has also not
replied directly to the questions posed to him. A separate post
will be made if or when they do.


I have again included a scoreboard for the candidate(s) as well as a section for notable quotes from prominent members.

​Questions & Replies

The questions that were posed to the candidates are below.
They are largely the same as in previous leadership surveys.
1. What are your personal views on the monarchy?
2. As prime minister would you make use of the Advisory Committee on Vice-Regal
Appointments that was active between 2010 and 2015?
3. In 2019 the government cancelled a program that mailed physical copies of the
Queen's portrait to any Canadian who asked free of charge. Would you restore this
program?
4. How important is it to you that the symbols of the monarchy be fully displayed?
5. Do you feel the current government has been unreasonably slow in announcing
various aspects of the new reign (official portraits, new coinage, etc)?
Below are links to each candidate's reply and a short look at
any previous comments they may have made in regards to the
monarchy. Candidates who failed to qualify or withdrew are
included for historical reference.

Crown & Cap Scoreboard

​Here I have ranked the candidates support for, or opposition
to, the monarchy. 
Keep in mind this is only my assessment
and your mileage 
may vary. Also, note that changes may occur
as the campaign goes on.

The crown score is out of five crowns with each candidate

receiving one crown for stating support for the monarchy
in 
their reply, one crown for having defended the monarchy
in 
Parliament, two crowns for outlining how they would
improve 
the monarchy's role in the future, and one crown for
having spoken in support of the monarchy outside of 
Parliament. 

The cap score is likewise out of five caps with one cap given to
a candidate for being opposed to the 
monarchy in their reply,
one cap for desiring a referendum 
on the monarchy, one cap
for opposing the monarchy in 
Parliament and two caps for
making the establishment of a 
Canadian republic a part of
their policy platform.

The bulk of this score comes from a Q&A
Dominic held with the party's youth wing
where Reddit user Nate33322 flat out asked
him his views on the monarchy. Link
His reply does support the monarchy but its
rather weak support. I might lower the
score to a half crown

Candidate Quotes

"Regarding the monarchy, I don't have a solid answer. I do know that the monarchy contributes significantly more to the UK economy than it costs the UK taxpayer. If something similar is here in Canada, where at the very least it is break even for the taxpayer, and their position of power is only ceremonial, then I have no issue with the monarchy remaining the figureheads of Canada." 
~Zbig Strycharz, 2024 by-election candidate

Some may wonder why I am polling a minor party with no
seats in Parliament. Basically, it has to do with the voter
support free fall the Liberal Party is in. Its not inconceivable
the Liberal Party could collapse entirely without the NDP or
Greens being able to capitalize. If this were to occur the
Canadian Future Party would be well-positioned to take over
which makes them important, at least for now. For this reason
its good to know where the party candidates stand on the
monarchy. And if Dominic's support is too tepid for your
liking, well, as far as I know you can still run for leader if you
are a member and attend the convention.
