I've always figured that the reason why even NDP-ites in Toronto (people who I'm thinking of as the most leftist Canadians) aren't republicans is a desire to stay different from the US in some way. Its simply a way to retain a different Canadian identity.

More likely, it's that the queen is inconsequential in day-to-day governance, and absolutely no one wants to reopen that can of worms that's the Constitution. Especially not after Meech Lake.
