- As Parliament’s central building shuts down for a decade, we take a special look at what will be disappearing from the public eye. Reporter Blair Crawford looks at the Senate Foyer; the Speaker’s Seniority board; the Diamond Jubilee window; the Senate Antechamber; and the Senate Chamber.
What is frustrating about the video is that the reference to the term ‘British Monarchs’ when in fact the queen is queen of Canada and monarchs post confederation are Canadian monarchs. God save the Queen.
Why is Canada still a british colony?
Why doesn´t it have it´s own monarch?
@Freedom Fighter Canada has its own monarch. King Charles is a king of Canada in his own right.
A great series by the Ottawa Citizen that really gets to go behind the closed door of Centre Block. The guide for this video is very effective but has an annoying reference to "British Monarchs" when in fact they have been Canadian Monarchs (at least since the Statute of Westminster).
Exactly right.

@@freedomfighterletsgobrandon it isn't and it does. She is also the Queen of Jamaica and a host of other Commonwealth Realms. The UK PM once recommended against the Queen attending a Commonwealth meeting in the Canada. So, she asked the Canadian PM and he recommended she attend. She attended on the advice as the Queen of Canada.
@@paulstreet9162 I have never heard of a state that does not even host it´s own head of state. The Queen of Canada does not even live in Canada. This is just ridiculous. If she really wants to be the head of state of 15 independant nations, she should change her residence at least once a year into a different commonwealth realm. That means she should at least live a full year in Canada every 15 years. Otherwise she would be the british Queen first and the canadian Queen second and that truly sounds like a colony or a second class nation.
Really need to pump the brakes on clapping after hand gestures.
Damnit bobby
They are our monarch! Long live the Queen of Canada!!

@@freedomfighterletsgobrandon Canada is a completely independent country. It is in no way beholden to the Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. In fact the Crown of Canada and the Crown of the United Kingdom are different corporate entities. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II simply happens to be the holder of both of them.

@@freedomfighterletsgobrandon Sounds to me like you don't understand three fundamental concepts. First, what a colony is. Second, is the concept of a head of state, especially in the Westminster system. Lastly, the concept of sovereignty.
How about this. Stop being that Lincolnite you obviously are, and let Canadians, as well as the other commonwealth realms, define their own relationships to each other and their head of state.
Also, you'd do well to know what a Personal Union is. I'm sorry, but your logic doesn't follow because you're attempting to apply a square peg to a round system.
But why shouldn't a Lincoln-loving Yankee happily affix himself to the idea he knows better than those who would govern themselves.
¡God Save the Queen of Canada!

america has nothing as beautiful as this
US Capitol, Library of Congress, The Breakers, The White House, The Elms, The Old, State, Navy Building, The many, many state capitols of individual states. The many official residences of governors of individual states. Boston public library, New York public library, The Morgan library. All these places I mentioned are also way older than Canada, so either your jealous or you just don't appreciate good history.
7:41 whoopiedoo. Showing that women don't paint as much as men puts little girls down. Why not mention it at all so that we are all equal.
Canada is such a young country and has to get all it's traditions and history from the UK. Hard to believe that no building is older than 100 years old in Canada. Even America had buildings and institutions over than 400 years.
that is hard to beleive, mainly because its not at all trueen.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_oldest_buildings_in_Canada#:~:text=British%20Columbia%20%20%20%20Building%20%20,%20Oak%20Bay%20%2030%20more%20rows%20
British colonisation of the Americas began in Newfoundland
@@daveunbelievable6313 My comment is still valid. I'm talking about buildings, traditions and history. Not where the British first set foot in North America
My house is over 100 years old in Canada.
You really need to do some research if you think there are no buildings older than 100 years in Canada. Even some of the buildings on Parliament hill are older than that.
How many million tax payer dollars were wasted on this building simply for pageantry when we can't find any money to help our veterans.
