Her Majesty the Queen of Canada does not "govern" Canada.

The Queen exercises the powers of the Crown only on the advice of Her Majesty's Canadian ministers. Moreover, the Queen rarely exercises these powers, as most of the Queen's functions are delegated to the Governor General of Canada. As the Governor General exercises the Queen's functions on the advice of the Government, and the Government is accountable to the elected House of Commons, the exercise of royal prerogatives is lent democratic legitimacy.
