No one cares about this old hag
Isn't she also still the queen of australia and new zealand?
and many other places, she is also duke of normandy
>his "country" has no monarch
All right. This is because british colonialism right?
>duke of normandy
Informally, in the Channel Islands
no, because when the french abolish the monarchy the brits didn't revolve the duchy of normandy issue of the channel islands which are part of the duchy but was part of england
but yes all the commonwealth caribbean island holders have her as sovereignty, like jamaica barbados bahamas etc
>revolve
resolve
>His "country" achieved independence by begging their colonial overlords for a few more rights and privelidges every 50 years

Confirmed angry frog
canada isn't even a real place, it's not a country the way you might imagine one.
It's just kind of this arbitrary zone of weirdness
ALL HAIL QUEEN ELIZABETH
It means very little. It's just a cultural symbol.
Yes but all of these roles are separate 'Queens' not one position.
>Yes but all of these roles are separate 'Queens' not one position.
By this I meant that the Queen's actual role, power, and relation to a given independent country is dependent on that country's constitution. Generally though, the differences don't mean much because the so-called 'Head of State' has little to no interaction with any country except the UK. In Australia, she is represented by the Governor-general, which is a position filled by Australian citizens and who have no affiliation with other governments/countries (in that, the Monarch or parliament of the UK don't advise or direct them). The Governor-general generally only acts on the advice of the Prime Minister. It is more apt to say that the Governor-general is the actual Head of State (rather than the Queen, technically this isn't the case, but it practically is), with the Prime Minister as the Head of Government.

The Crown of Canada forms the basis of Canadian sovereign authority. All forms of government and authority ultimately draw from the Crown, similar to how all forms of government and authority in the US ultimately draw from one democratic process or another. In practice, the Crown devolves considerable powers to the appropriate levels of government and takes advice from ministers appointed by elected officials when exercising the powers it retains. This system is designed so that the people can have a voice and engagement with the political machinery of the country, yet still provide barriers to underqualified candidates from achieving power. It's not perfect, but it's a good middle ground.
tl;dr everybody gets checks and balances
when will the queen die
i don't want to be rulled by a s
Canadians are good lads who share a long and proud history with Britain. Canada was loyal to the Empire to the very end, and Canada was entirely autonomous. It was a mutually beneficial agreement that came to an end as Britain's power in the world declined. The Monarchy and Commonwealth are leftovers from that era. There's nothing more to it.
you forget about one thing
Monarchies are far superior to republics,
where's your monarch?
