Canada would probably cling to the monarchy long after the Brits abandoned it.

Orf with their heads. Not nice, I know, but it's the only way to get rid of these people properly or they keep popping up and trying to seize back their throne. Ask Oliver Cromwell. Ask the Bolsheviks. Ask Elizabeth the 1st even.

Well, this raises the question, if not all the Commonwealth countries abolished the monarchy, where would the monarch move to."The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists."

For historical and cultural reasons, Canada would probably the most like destination of any dethroned monarch (assuming the Canadians kept their monarchy). There's no big republicanism movement for starters. Canada's always been one of the most steadfast Dominions.Originally posted by Victor Galis

Ontario's provincial motto after all is "loyal she began, loyal she remains"Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

wouldnt UK want to get done reforming Lords, before abolitioning the monarchy? Does Commons have the constitutional ability to reform Lords without the consent of Lords? Isnt the principle use of the monarch these last hundred years to manipulate Lords on behalf of the Commons? I suppose a "president" could do that, though.
Anyway, given that in Oz, where the monarch is always a foreigner, its take the republicans so long to get any traction, I wouldnt expect it any time soon in the UK. If the Windsors were to go, Commons would just find an alternate, distantly related line.
I presume the Canadians would go along with whomever Commons picked. "Subservient I began, subservient I remain"
