74.68.128.245
An August poll by Navigator commissioned by Canadian friends of the Royal Family says:
~ More than 47 per cent of those polled disagreed that the prince has a vision for the future.
~ Asked if they felt Charles was ahead of his time, only a quarter of respondents agreed, while almost 64 per cent disagreed.
~ While about 80 per cent of respondents agreed that the monarchy had an important place in Canada's history, a majority also felt it was out of step with the times.
~More than 60 per cent felt that a constitutional monarchy was outdated.
The poll suggests that a majority of Canadians expect their head of state to visit frequently, and they appreciate a connection to the military and the ability to speak in French.
