thedelta88, thanks for your input. I do understand that you cannot get everything of this subject. The fact you find this subject offensive is irrelevant as you cannot understand this matter to the fullest. This is our reality not yours. I'm glad to be canadian and not american.
I'm pround to be canadian, I like our Queen and I think our monarchs should come and live with us. Monarchy is for me an example of stability and dignity. We need monarchy for unity and traditions. I hope Canada always remain a monarchy. God save the Queen of Canada.
@kilkenian2 as an American I think having a special class of people who claim to have the right to rule over other people is an offensive idea. elected officials are bad enough.
Why should the Queen's people change a system that has worked well for millennia, for the Presidential style of government: A system that has failed around the globe.
Elizabeth II costs us less than your President Ombama's Airforce 1 Airplane.
Monarchy represents all of the people - A President will always favour those who have placed him in power: That's how politics work.

@chufuss Yeah....no thanks!! The Queen is the Queen of Canada, among others, but you already knew that as you seem to troll every Canadian monarchy video.
@datheman3780 "If Britain became a republic the Queen would still be Queen of Canada although she wouldn't have any title in the UK!"
That's technically true, but in the event of Britain becoming a republic, it's very hard for me to imagine Canada not bowing to the inevitable and following suit. To inherit a monarchy even the British didn't want would be an international embarrassment.
In each of Canada's provinces, the monarch is represented by a Lieutenant Governor, while the territories are not sovereign and thus do not have a viceroy.
However, the Queen is the only member of the Royal Family with any constitutional role. While several powers are the sovereign's alone, because she lives predominantly in the United Kingdom, most of the royal constitutional and ceremonial duties in Canada are carried out by the Queen's representative, the Governor General; therefore, the Governor General is sometimes referred to as the de facto head of state.
The Canadian monarch - since 6 February 1952, Elizabeth II - is today shared equally with fifteen other countries within the Commonwealth of Nations, all being independent and the monarchy of each legally distinct. For Canada, the monarch is officially titled Queen of Canada (French: Reine du Canada), and she, her consort, and other members of the Canadian Royal Family undertake various public and private functions across Canada and on behalf of the country abroad.
Canada has been a monarchy since at least the end of the 15th century, the Crown having evolved under an uninterrupted line of consecutive French, British, and then Canadian monarchs to become a distinctly Canadian institution, represented by unique symbols, and sometimes being colloquially dubbed the Maple Crown.
The Crown today primarily functions as a guarantor of continuous and stable governance and a nonpartisan safeguard against the abuse of power, the sovereign acting as a custodian of the Crown's democratic powers and a representation of the "power of the people above government and political parties."
While Royal Assent and the royal sign-manual are required to enact laws, letters patent, and Orders-in-Council, the authority for these acts stems from the Canadian populace, and, within the conventional stipulations of constitutional monarchy, the sovereign's direct participation in any of these areas of governance is limited, with most related powers entrusted for exercise by the elected and appointed parliamentarians, the ministers of the Crown generally drawn from amongst them.
The Crown is thus the foundation of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the Canadian government, as well as the linchpin of Canadian federalism.
The monarchy of Canada - also referred to as The Crown in Right of Canada, Her Majesty in Right of Canada, or The Queen in Right of Canada - is the constitutional system of government in which a hereditary monarch is the sovereign and head of state of Canada, forming the core, or "the most basic building block," of the country's Westminster-style parliamentary democracy.
i support our monarchy - the crown protects the people from our politician's personal ambitions (like staying in office for life or corrupting our tax money), the crown reminds our politicians that the power they hold is temporary and is borrowed from the crown
our monarchy our canadian monarchy is what makes us different from US and being labelled as second class US citizens
Why would anyone complain about the monarchy. First of all they usually dont assert any power over us. Second of all they are a status symbol. Thirdly they are so damn classy, I mean what person other than a royal can be shot at from point blank range and not even flinch let alone lose control of the horse. The monarchy is a symbol of bravery, courage, tradition, and liberty ever since the Glorious Revolution in the 1600's
I support the Canadian monarchy...in fact I keep saying I'm moving to Canada. Perhaps one day I shall. Does anyone think that Quebec will one day leave Canada and another question, would they continue with monarchy under say a Bourbon prince? Just would like to stimulate a little discussion. Have a great day everyone.
i see william has chosen canada as his first royal visit after his wedding :O)

Canada and the Monarchy are one. Have been since the founding of this country. To deny the monarchy is to deny Canada's roots, history and tradition.
