<DIV><p><p>Canadians enjoy one of the most stable forms of democracy on the planet, but there is a crisis in their understanding of the role the Crown plays in their country. As Queen Elizabeth II celebrates her diamond jubilee as Queen of Canada, Canada's Constitutional Monarchy has been written to reintroduce Canadians to a rich institution integral to their democracy and parliamentary government. </p><p>Nathan Tidridge presents the Canadian Crown as a colourful and unique institution at the very heart of Canadian Confederation and responsible government, exploring its roots and development from fifteenth-century English explorations and sixteenth-century New France. Moving into the twenty-first century, relationships with First Nations, Heraldry, the Military, Governor General, Heir to the Throne, and many other aspects of the day-to-day life of the country are explored.</p><p>This book has its own website at <i>www.canadiancrown.com</i>.
