Many Canadians think so, they also believe her representatives decide who we elect for Prime Minister, and direct our military and parliament. But any claims Britain or their Royalty had over Canada was severed in 1982 when we repatriated our Constitution. Canada is owned by the members of it's Confederation, and each province is owned by the citizens of the province.
