Does the Queen control Canada

Answer 1

Canada was previously a British colony. While it was a colony, the Queen of England had dominion over Canada. From 1867-1931 Canada became a Commonwealth with its own Prime Minister. In 1931 it became completely dependent from Great Britain and the Queen no longer had any dominion over the country.

Answer 2

Yes, Her Majesty is the Queen of Canada, as per s. 9 of the Constitution Act, 1867, which vests executive government and authority in the Queen. Her Majesty appoints a representative in Canada, the Governor General, on the advice of the prime minister to exercise nearly all of the Queen's functions.

The Parliament of Canada has three components: The Queen (represented by the Governor General), the Senate, and the elected House of Commons. Though the Queen is head of State, Her Majesty's government-related powers are exercised on the advice of the prime minister, and his ministers, who are responsible to the elected House of Commons.

Answer 3

The queen of the United Kingdom of great Britain and northern Ireland is also the queen of cananda, in Canada they simply know her as queen of Canada, her powers are limited but she still remains the head of state, the governor of Canada acts as her deputy, but when she is in residence in Canada then she has the powers of the governor, it is not usual however for a british monarch to exercise these powers any more however the law still remains that she can.

Answer 4

Yes, if by Queen of Britain you mean Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Queen Elizabeth II is Queen of the UK, Canada, and 14 other realms. However, though the Queen occupies a single office, her role in each country is legally distinct.

Answer 5

Queen Elizabeth II is the Monarch of Canada, which operates courtesy of the Canadian Parliament and Canada's governmental officers.

Properly, according to Wikipedia:

"The monarchy of Canada is the core of both Canada's federalism and its Westminster-style parliamentary democracy, being the foundation of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the Canadian government and each provincial government."

Practically from experience:

Not at all. The role of the Queen is purely ceremonial and represented by the Governor General, another completely ceremonial role. The GG is selected by the Prime Minister who is the leader of the political party with the most seats in the house. Canadians get to vote on the people and party that fills those seats.

If the Queen or GG was to even make a comment about Canadian politics it would create a scandal. If they were to take any political action at all, even that which appears to be allowed, it would create a Constitutional Crisis and backlash that would likely see such ceremonial roles ended in Canada.

Canada does not have a Queen or a monarch of any kind except in a ceremonial role to have consistency in our political systems.
