Purely ceremonial- she is the official Head of State, but has no actual governmental authority over Canada, although Canada is a member of the Commonwealth.
The Canada Act of 1987 severed any actual remaining authority that Britain has over Canada.
Though Canada is a Commonwealth state, it has its own Parliament by which it governs itself. The Monarchy does have a similar role to what it has in England - the role as not only a symbolic head figure, but also a governing body in terms of powers.
The Queen currently acts upon advice given to her by her Canadian ministers from the government. In Canada, she's represented by a Governor-General. The Queen appoints the Governor-General, who is completely segregated from the British government.
Her Majesty, though not overly powerful in terms of political power, is involved personally with Canadians.
The Queen retains a special relationship with the Canadian Forces, acting as Colonel-in-Chief of various regiments: the Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery; the King's Own Calgary Regiment; Le Royal 22e Régiment; the Governor-General's Foot Guards; the Governor-General's Horse Guards; The Canadian Grenadier Guards; Le Régiment de la Chaudière; the Calgary Highlanders; The Royal New Brunswick Regiment; 48thHighlanders of Canada; The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada; Royal Canadian Air Force Auxiliary; Canadian Forces Military Engineers Branch; and the Air Reserve.

The title of Head of State is conventionally considered to belong to the Queen of Canada, a monarch. However, the role is carried out by the Queen's representative in Canada, the Governor General of Canada, who is a viceroy.
As of my last update, the British monarch, including Queen Elizabeth II, does not belong to any political party. The monarchy in the United Kingdom is a constitutional one, meaning that the queen remains politically neutral and does not engage in party politics. This neutrality is a key aspect of the role, allowing the monarch to serve as a unifying figure for the entire nation.
The King-Byng Crisis of 1926 was a pivotal moment in Canadian political history, highlighting the tensions between the Governor General's role and the autonomy of Canadian democracy. When Governor General Lord Byng refused Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King's request to dissolve Parliament and call an election, it raised questions about the limits of British authority in Canadian governance. This event ultimately led to the establishment of the convention that a Governor General should act on the advice of the elected Prime Minister, reinforcing the principle of responsible government. It also contributed to a growing sense of Canadian nationalism and the evolution of Canada's political identity.

Thomas Talbot served in the British Army. He was a prominent military figure who gained recognition during the War of 1812, particularly for his contributions in the Canadian campaigns. After his military career, he became known for his role in the settlement and development of Upper Canada.
None. Though many Canadians believe they or their government answers to British Royalty this is not true. Britain, their Royalty, their government has no active role to play in an Canadian government. Even our ceremonial roles do not need any British role or connection. We could hire an actor to play the role of our Queen or that of a Governor General and it would have the same effect.
The role of a Tudor monarch was to preside over the government of England and to rule the kingdom. The monarch was expected to provide an heir to the throne of England.
The British monarchy does not have a role in Canadian government.Canada's constitutional arrangements deal only with the Canadian monarchy. Though the monarch also happens to be the head of State of several other nations, the Royal Title and Styles Actprovides for an exclusively-Canadian title for the Queen. The Queen exercises most executive functions (as the Queen of Canada) on the advice of members of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada (by convention, only privy counsellors who are also ministers--and therefore are responsible to the House of Commons--may advise the monarch).The British monarchy does not have a role when it comes to the government of Canada.Her Majesty the Queen of Canada is the head of State for Canada, and is represented by the Governor General of Canada, appointed by the Queen on the advice of the Canadian prime minister (the head of Government). Most of the Queen's powers are exercised only on the advice of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada. By convention, only privy counsellors who are currently ministers (and are therefore accountable to the elected House of Commons) may advise the Canadian monarch and Her Majesty's representatives.

The Canadian monarch is the Head of State, Commander-in-chief of the armed forces, and a representative of all Canadians, rather than just a minority political constituency, like the elected members of Canada's government. The monarch is also the font of all meritorious awards like the nation's highest honour, the Order of Canada. The Monarch is heir to every sovereign that this land has ever known dating back to the crowns of England, Scotland, Wales, France, Denmark & Spain. Lands once controlled by these sovereigns were ceded to the monarch's ancesters, not the government of the England. All first nations who welcomed partnership with European settlers have their relationship to the crown rather than to the Canadian government. Therefore, sovereignty over the lands we call Canada is only legitimized by the nation's relationship to the current Monarch and her heirs. Unfortunitely the Canadian monarch is also monarch of several other countries, independent of her role in Canada and generally spends her time in the United Kingdom. All of the monarch's perogatives in Canada are exercised by a Governor-General, appointed by the current Prime Minister of Canada.
The Role of the Monarchy Monarchy is the oldest form of government in the United Kingdom. In a monarchy, a king or queen or any other impotant people is Head of State. The British monarchy is known as a constitutional monarchy. This means that, while The Sovereign is Head of State, the ability to make and pass legislation resides with an elected Parliament.
"The Crown" is a term often used when referring to Canada's reigning Monarch, who is Canada's Head of State, and who is represented by the Governor General. The term is also used in criminal law proceedings when referring to the prosecution.
Canada is the product of monarchy because Confederation was enacted by Her Majesty Victoria, with the advice and consent of the British Lords and House of Commons. Later Acts of the Canadian Parliament would create a uniquely Canadian role and style for the monarch. Today, Her Majesty the Queen of Canada remains the Canadian head of State (represented by the Governor General and Lieutenant Governors at the federal and provincial levels), exercising executive functions on the advice of the prime minister (the head of Government), accountable to the House of Commons.

The Governor General of Canada serves as the representative of the Monarch, currently the King, in Canada. Appointed by the Monarch on the advice of the Prime Minister, the Governor General performs various ceremonial duties and functions within the parliamentary system, including the formal opening of Parliament and granting Royal Assent to legislation. This role helps bridge the constitutional monarchy with Canada’s democratic government, ensuring that the country's parliamentary system operates smoothly. The Governor General also plays a vital role in representing Canada internationally and upholding Canadian traditions and values.
