The Royal Canadian Mint and Bank of Canada are waiting for the federal government to make a decision regarding the future of coins and banknotes. “Whereas the Conservatives, I’m sure, would put (King) Charles on the money.” “I don’t think Prime Minister Trudeau wants to get rid of the monarchy, but he also doesn’t want to call attention to it,” he said. Meanwhile, the Conservatives have traditionally stood more boldly with the Royal Family. He said the Liberal government may be hesitant to discuss the future of Canadian currency and the monarch because its overall stance on the monarchy has been murky. Malloy said that’s not surprising, noting there appears to be a partisan divide when it comes to the monarchy’s role in the country.
