The Monarchist League of Canada has
sent out an email today with updates
on its various initiatives. The update
on its social media campaign is worth
examining:
"We continue to attract queries, trial
members and new paying members.
We expected the first two. However,
the full memberships continue in
steady numbers - and that was
unexpected!"
This is great, of course, but the League goes on to say;
"...from the comments we receive, the current threats to our
nationhood are indeed driving a desire to want to know
more about and/or appreciate the distinctiveness of our
institutions, as well as the outward manifestations of which
we all see."
Perhaps this shouldn't be too surprising when this was the
advert I saw in January:

This is an interesting development and one that is reinforced
by what Canadians are searching online in recent weeks.

Google Trends result for 'Canadian Monarchy'
There has been an up-tick in searches for the Canadian
Monarchy. Concurrent searches are actually at a higher level
than at any point in 2024. Recently, an article posted to
r/CanadaPolitics on the King's statement regarding Flag
Day received 860 upvotes at a 97% upvote ratio. This is a
higher than average ratio for any posted article, let alone one
on the monarchy.
Out of curiousity I also wanted to see if these results held for monarchy-adjacent topics. I checked the Google Trends result
for 'United Empire Loyalist' and there is a similar uptick
which occurred at about the same time:

I think from these results it is clear that Canadians are
reconnecting with their institutions and history. If the
American regime remains hostile these results could be
sustained. This is even more true when you consider a Royal
Homecoming is in the works for the near future. The timing
of said Homecoming could very well see the King open a
session of Parliament in the Spring (presuming an early
election) which would highlight the monarch's constitutional
role in Canada.
While Trump's vulgar notions of annexing Canada and the
very real economic damage he is inflicting by tariffs (and the
mere threat of tariffs) are very bad for Canada, if his actions
lead to a Canada more confident in itself and its history he
will have unintentionally left Canada more united then ever.
