Agree

No

Liberals have typically defended the status quo of constitutional monarchy as part of Canada’s constitutional order, and have not pursued republican change, which would require major constitutional amendment (Constitution Act, 1982 amending formula).

Agree

No, the monarch is a neutral guardian ensuring stability above party politics

The Liberal Party generally accepts the Crown’s role as a non-partisan constitutional component (Governor General/lieutenant governors) that provides continuity; this aligns with how Canadian constitutional monarchy is typically defended.

Slightly agree

No, the monarchy is the cultural glue that preserves our national history and identity

Liberals sometimes reference tradition and continuity, but they more often emphasize a civic, multicultural Canadian identity; support for monarchy as ‘cultural glue’ is not a core Liberal theme, though they generally accept the Crown’s historical role.

Neutral

No, the Royal Family is a global brand granting us outsized diplomatic influence

Liberals may acknowledge soft-power/diplomatic symbolism of the Crown, but it is not a prominent or defining Liberal argument; Canadian diplomacy is usually framed around multilateralism and national institutions rather than the Royal Family brand.

Slightly disagree

Yes, it is an expensive waste of taxpayer money better spent on social welfare

Liberals often prioritize social spending, but they have not made the cost argument a central plank for abolishing the monarchy; in practice Liberal governments have not advanced abolition as a fiscal reallocation issue.

Disagree

Yes

The federal Liberal Party has generally supported maintaining Canada’s constitutional monarchy and has not made abolition a party objective; major Liberal governments instead focused on constitutional reforms within the existing system (e.g., patriation and the 1982 Constitution Act).

Disagree

Yes, hereditary power is a medieval relic incompatible with modern meritocracy

While some Liberals may personally hold republican views, the party’s mainstream has not framed the Crown as incompatible with modern democracy; Canada’s monarchy is constitutional and largely ceremonial, and Liberals have worked within it.
