Queen Elizabeth, Canada's head of state and the longest-reigning British monarch, has died. Elizabeth became Queen in 1952, at the relatively tender age of 25, and presided over the country and the Commonwealth, including Canada, for seven decades. Those 70 years as monarch were recognized during this year's Platinum Jubilee events, which reached their height in London in early June. He specializes in the fields of Canadian and comparative politics, as well as the study of public policy, including social policy. Having dedicated his academic career to the history of McGill University, he also considers himself a ‘self-proclaimed palace watcher’.
