It's the end of an era with the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. And now her son, King Charles III is the head of state in Canada. Our constitutional monarchy has been an ongoing area of study by Nathan Tidridge. He is an author and educator who has been studying and writing about our history, and the Crown's relationship with Indigenous Peoples in Canada. Tidridge answers some of the questions people are asking about the transition in Canada after the death of the reigning monarch of the last 70 years. And he also discusses how the provinces used the Constitution to cement the royal family to our nation. It was an effort to keep the federal government from being able to exert more control over them. And that also has implications on a future republic and the many treaties with nations across this land that are also enshrined in our Constitution signed by Queen Elizabeth II in 1982.
