many Canadians generally liked Queen Elizabeth II. </span> <span data-start-time='9000' data-end-time='15938'>But a growing number of Canadians do not want the British monarch to represent them. </span> <span data-start-time='15938' data-end-time='24396'>The risks that come with constitutional reform, however, mean there is little political wish for change.</span> <span data-start-time='24396' data-end-time='29854'>Britain colonized Canada beginning in the late 1500s. </span> <span data-start-time='29854' data-end-time='35958'>The country formally remained part of the British empire until 1982. </span> <span data-start-time='35958' data-end-time='45188'>Now it is a member of the Commonwealth of former empire countries that have the British monarch as head of state.</span> <span data-start-time='45188' data-end-time='59042'>A public opinion study by Canada’s Angus Reid Institute in April found that 51 percent of Canadians do not want the monarchy to continue as its head of state. </span> <span data-start-time='59042' data-end-time='63750'>That is up from 45 percent in January 2020. </span> <span data-start-time='63750' data-end-time='69083'>Only 26 percent said it should continue.</span> <span data-start-time='69083' data-end-time='82604'>In addition, a new opinion study by the group Leger found that about 77 percent of Canadians said they feel no attachment to the British monarchy.</span> <span data-start-time='82604' data-end-time='88979'>Many Canadians felt sorry for the royal family after the death of the queen. </span> <span data-start-time='88979' data-end-time='94813'>But many find their relationship with the British monarch to be strange.</span> <span data-start-time='94813' data-end-time='102292'>Those from Quebec, the mostly French-speaking province, feel even less connection with Britain. </span> <span data-start-time='102292' data-end-time='112417'>In the Angus Reid study, 71 percent of people living in Quebec said they no longer see a need for the monarchy.</span> <span data-start-time='112417' data-end-time='119125'>Twenty percent of Canada's population is new to the country with little connection to Britain.</span> <span data-start-time='119125' data-end-time='126958'>And indigenous, or native, people usually feel little warmth for the colonial power.</span> </p></div><div
