Republicanism in Canada has been a minor yet steadily increasing movement among citizens who desire to sever ties with the British monarchy and have a Canadian Head of State. This movement has existed even before Confederation, and has resulted in three armed rebellions that moulded and shaped the country and influenced the nation.
Republicanism is in fact popular, where more than 70% of Canadians wish to have Canada become a separate nation.
In the 1800's, three major rebellions resulted in the foundation of Canada, the first being led by William Lyon McKenzie, who was the first mayor of Toronto. The second was made by the Patriotes, and the third was lead by Louis Riel. All were crushed by British forces.
