The current Queen was never the ruler of Canada. Even the slightest such comment from her would have created a Constitutional Crisis particularly after the Balfour Declaration of 1926. If the Queen or Britain wanted anything from Canada they would do so through their Ambassador called a High Commissioner.

The Governor General in Canada does not answer to QEII, or any Queen other than the ceremonial one on Canadian paper. The Governor General fulfills a ceremonial role for the Canadian People and our elected representatives via the Prime Minister of Canada. Though many do long for the days when we answered to Britain, our political references to the Queen and Royal stations are ceremonial only. Canada is independent from Britain politically.
