I thought that the title of the monarch of Canada was Queen Elizabeth I, Queen of Canada, Australia and Scotland; Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of England, Wales and Northern Ireland, the territories and dominions beyond the sea, head of the Commonwealth and Defender of the faith (a Catholic title BTW).
Well considering when Canada was a Dominion (or overseas territory/colony) of England/UK, the British Grenadier had a detachment/garrison in Canada, this is just the contiuation of them. They aren't a copycat, considering they both used to be one country. It is just a continuation of history,
@douglaspotterpress You say "when Canada was a Dominion" if you want to learn something neat -- we never actually lost that status, we are still legally a dominion, we act as a nation in a system of mutual trust and accord. The name Dominion of Canada stopped being printed because there's no exact French language equivalent, the name has been used in federal documentation as recently as 2008, and is used routinely for commonwealth activities. Just something I found neat.
This is a direct result of the way the British North-America Act, and subsequent acts have been written, a bit of legal leftovers if you will, but it maintains a Canadian's entitlement to commonwealth citizenship (formerly referred to as British Subject) and allows for the usage of the signet U.E. at the end of loyalist names in Canada, among a multitude of other, less visible leftovers, like having a mutual Queen, or having a national and royal anthem.
@muffles12 - we're part of the Commonwealth (meaning countries ruled/founded/formerly colonized by Britain).but we all conduct military procedures slightly differently than each other. its just that we have adopted their traditions and historical value over the years, even after independence from Britain in 1867, when Canada confederized into an official country
@muffles12 , You should konw Canada is Nominally a territory of the British Empire which currently still regards the Queen as her emperess. There's why they still drill in the British way.
Sorry, but this is NOT the GG Foot Guards. This is the Ceremonial Guard, which comes together each summer for the Changing of the Guard duties. While the guard is comprised of both Foot Guards and Grenadier Guards, the name is specifically the Ceremonial Guard.
What is this song named?
