Canada does not have a Queen other than for ceremonial purposes.

We tend to use the current British Queen, QEII, when an image or ceremony needs to be carried out since she was Queen of Canada before we repatriated our Constitution leaving her and Britain with no real role to play in our political systems.

The question of her election or replacement will be brought up again once the current Queen of England dies. It will be controversial as many Canadians strongly believe and point to the many Royal references in our documents that Canada must answer to a Queen and her representatives.

Yet most Canadians see Canada as a democracy and not one that answers to any Queen or King and certainly not one from a foreign country.

So the next election is going to depend on which government is in power. The Canadian tradition so far has been to defer, ignore or put off such fundamental questions but that may not be possible much longer.

Hopefully Canada will not be electing any Queen and Canadians will accept full responsibility for their own political future, but history suggests otherwise.
