Every now and then, a similar case comes before the courts. Not likely to change under the current government given its ‘fetish’ for all things related to the monarchy.

Australia, of course, did change its oath and remove the references to the monarchy but kept its traditional flag, reflecting the British connection.

Another example of Quebec-centric thinking and almost wishfulness. While the Harper government has emphasized the British heritage and connection, it has also assiduously tended to the multicultural reality of Canada through extensive outreach and programs like Historical Recognition for a number of communities. The immigrant identity is also the multicultural identity, which was always about integrating the diverse communities and histories of Canada into a common civic identity.

History repeats itself. Lack of focus group testing and detailed question-by-question analysis leads to predictable result of more unsuccessful applicants. Undermines the sound policy rationale for stronger knowledge of Canadian citizenship and greater program integrity.
