Wait... Canada Has a King?! What Does He Actually Do?
from Canada Off Script Hosted by Randall Arsenault - Canada Off Script
Canada has a King… but what does that actually mean? Most Canadians know we have a King, but if you asked them what the King actually does in Canada… a lot of people wouldn’t have an answer. In this video, Randall Arsenault breaks down 5 surprising ways the King (and the Crown) are still connected to Canada today - from Crown land, to the court system, to why he had to swear an oath to the Queen when he became a police officer. He’ll also talk about: Why criminal cases are technically “The King vs You” What “Crown land” really means Why no law in Canada is official without Royal Assent The Crown’s role as a constitutional “emergency brake” The current monarch is King Charles III, but most duties in Canada are carried out by the Governor General of Canada. Whether you’re Canadian, American, or watching from somewhere else - this is something most people were never really taught. #canadaoffscript #monarchy #kingcharles #canadianpolitics #canadianhistory #Canada #RandallArsenault #CanadianPodcast
