What's the intent here? There's already Monarchy in Canada, which has much of the same text. Did that get too big, or what? Thanks. -- John Nagle 03:34, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
The article seems quite one sided, particularly the last section. It is also absolutely devoid of sources. Homey 03:39, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
Okay, so it's been a week since the neutrality of this article was disputed. Seems to be a lack of real dispute, though. Is anything actually going on with this? -- gbambino 18:21, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
The Canadian Crown is one of an approximate half-dozen that have survived through uninterrupted inheritance from before the country itself was founded.
It seems to imply that the "Canadian Crown" existed before the country itself was founded, along with about 6 others that also still exist. I can make no sense of this at all. TharkunColl ( talk) 16:59, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
Unless someone can shed some light on what the other half-dozen monarchies are, and why they're even mentioned at all, the line is completely senseless and I'll get rid of it. TharkunColl ( talk) 22:09, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
G2, why have you changed the line to say that the crown has a lineage to the French crown, when it doesn't? TharkunColl ( talk) 23:11, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
'The history of monarchy in Canada stretches from the pre-colonial times of Canada to the present day'.
'Monarchy has been a concept in Canada since before the first encounters between French and British colonizers and indigenous North Americans.'
May I suggest a problem with these statements? I believe that if this article treats of monarchy in Canada it should restrict itself to the Western concept of monarchy. As the article does say, it was Europeans who called the leaders of some of the First Nations monarchs. But they actually did not have the concept of a single person ruling alone and passing power by hereditary succession. The two statements ought to be ommitted.-- Gazzster ( talk) 22:03, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
In the article Monarchy, tribal chiefs are mentioned. Don't the chiefs fit the monarchy description? IMHO, the chiefs belong in this article. GoodDay ( talk) 22:26, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
Remember, monarchy isn't limited to Western Europe. As for continuation of 'native rooted monarchy' into 'european rooted monarchy'? one can always add section headings to avoid that impression of continuation. GoodDay ( talk) 22:57, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
I'm afraid I'll have to let you & G2 figure these things out. This topic is getting over my head. GoodDay ( talk) 23:34, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
Image:Prince William 1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This might not be the point of this article, but this is the best place I can think of to post it. What about other Monarchs that have lived in Canada, such as the Dutch queen, during WW2? Several foreign monarchs have lived in Canada, while the British Monarch has not. Shouldn't there be a section, or at least a mention of that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.148.123.76 ( talk) 23:48, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
The image Image:PPCLI.JPG is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

Is there any source of the Canadian postal service ever being called the "Royal Mail"? I've looked and I can't find anything.-- Ibagli rnbs mbs ( Talk) 05:28, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
Not sure I understand the criteria fully for deciding who was or wasn't a monarch of 'Canada'. Queen Anne is mentioned, but during her reign 'Canada' was a French colony and British colonial interests in what became Canada was limited to Nova Scotia and...Newfoundland. But if British possession of any territory that would become Canada is the criteria for this article (as it seems to be in the case of QA), then shouldn't the list of English monarchs go back to the founding of the first English colony at Cuper's Cove on Newfoundland in 1610 for consistency? Corlyon ( talk) 06:22, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
Was there an old Elizabethan era? We need a new section heading. GoodDay ( talk) 16:04, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
I don't think William of Orange can be considered a Stuart. He falls under the Stuart column in the chart section. His wife, Mary II is curiously absent. Perhaps she could be added and House of Orange can be added to the title in the Stuart column. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lesbro ( talk • contribs) 18:06, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
The accuracy of List of Canadian monarchs—and the reliability of its sources—has been challenged by several editors. One solution is to merge the content here by adding a list of monarchs who ruled over Canada to this article. Why do we really need an article that contains lists already repeated in several places at Wikipedia? Especially when very few of the listed individuals were actually monarchs of Canada rather than merely over (part of) it. We can list them here, and the accompanying text can explain how the monarchy developed in its relationship to the Canadian colonies up to and after Confederation. Srnec ( talk) 21:17, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
It appears two Spanish kings are missing (among others) from this article, if it includes monarchs who claimed territory in what would become Canada as it is today. The district of Louisiana was a part of New Spain, and included parts of what is now Alberta and Saskatchewan from 1762 to 1803. That would suggest that Charles III and Charles IV of Spain should be noted. It was also under Charles IV that a Spanish settlement was established on Vancouver Island in 1789. Maps I have seen indicate a Spanish claim to the entire west coast of today's B.C., as well as significant territories inland.
Similarly, Russia claimed much of the B.C. coast and inland areas, including what would become the southwestern part of Yukon Territory, from 1799 to 1825. This augurs for the inclusion of Paul I and Alexander I of Russia (and perhaps Nicholas I, depending on exactly when in 1825 the Treaty of St. Petersburg was finalized).
One minor piece of land may also have us add Margrethe II of Denmark, if not her predecessor, Frederick IX. Hans Island is claimed entirely by both Denmark and Canada. Whether Canada gets it all or it's divided between the two countries, it would be fair to include this monarchy...or are we not mentioning monarchies with whom Canada has or had (as Canada or Britain) a boundary dispute?
Where do non-monarchical heads of state receive acknowledgement? That part of Louisiana which is today's Alberta and Saskatchewan was part of the United States from 1803 to 1818. U.S. Presidents Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and James Monroe were the heads of state in these years. Yoho2001 ( talk) 04:00, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
