"The distinction that nobody realises is that Canada isn't part of the UK, Canada shares a monarch with the UK. When she's over here, she's Queen of Canada. Furthermore, she's a reigning monarch but not a ruling monarch, which means she doesn't get to pass laws. Further furthermore, she's delegated her authority to the Governor General, which means all we ever see of the old girl is her face on the money and stamps."
So of what use is the Royal Family if all they do is act as part of a complicated set of checks and balances that could easily be accomplished in a better way through a system closer to the USs'?
