Was Queen Elizabeth Queen of all Canada?
yes
---------------------------
This 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, David Lloyd Johnston, 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.

Why did Queen Mary lock her sister elizibeth?
She didn't hate her until her reign started. Instead she was very fond of her when they were younger. She taught her how to play the lute, they exchanged gifts and played cards together.
Mary also warned her for Thomas Seymour and urged her not to live with Catherine Parr and him.
This is interesting, since she had a lot of reason to hate Elizabeth's mother and view her as nothing but a bastard.
When Mary became queen, she was at first still friendly to her. Later she began to perceive her as a threat to her marriage and the catholic faith. This in part because Elizabeth was very dubious about conversion. People who were discontent with Mary, all saw in Elizabeth a happy alternative and began to plot for Mary's demise.

Why was Queen Elizabeth 1 important?
Queen Elizabeth I lead England as a woman, in what was very much a man's world. In a speech to her troops at Tilbury she famously said:
"I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too."
The "Elizabethan Age" was also known as the "Golden Age", because England's economy prospered and Elizabeth I's court became the centre for musicians, writer and scholars. Her reign witnessed widespread increase in literacy and great achievements in the arts - great poets and playwrights emerged during her era such as William Shakespeare, Edmund Spenser and Christopher Marlowe.
As well as encouraging the arts, a renaissance in scientific thinking was encouraged and important men such as Sir Francis Bacon and Dr John Dee came to prominence.
While Queen Elizabeth I established Protestantism as the country's religion, she adopted a moderate religious policy and did not persecute Catholics with conviction. The Acts of Supremacy and Uniformity (1559), the introduction of the Prayer Book of 1559, and the Thirty-Nine Articles (1563) were all Protestant in doctrine, but preserved many traditionally Catholic ceremonies.
The reign of Queen Elizabeth I also saw significant expansion overseas. Great explorers were encouraged such as Sir Francis Drake, Sir Walter Raleigh, Sir John Hawkins, Sir Humphrey Gilbert and Sir Richard Greenville. She permitted establishment of the first English colony in North America, along with the creation of the British East India Company - the joint-stock company that would eventually colonise India.
Militarily she achieved recognition for England as a leading power in Europe. A major accomplishment was the defeat of the Spanish Armada of 1588 by the English fleet of 34 ships and 163 armed merchant vessels under Lord Howard of Effingham, Sir Francis Drake, and Sir John Hawkins. The English navy defeated further attempts at invasion in 1596 and 1597.
Her reign also saw several rebellions - the Irish "The Rising of the North" and the Essex rebellion - all of which she defeated.
What does the meaning of the name Elizabeth?
Close to God
Briefly, the Hebrew name that corresponds to Elizabeth is Elisheba or Elisheva. The two components of the name are El, a shortened version of Elohim, referring to God, and Sheba meaning both 'seven' and 'oath'. There have been many different interpretations of the meaning, including "My God is a vow", "My God is an oath", "My God has sworn" and even "My God is seven," the last presumably referring to the symbolic nature of. or the mystical powers of. the number seven. In the story of Elizabeth and Zachariah in Luke, "My God has sworn" might have the best correlation.

Not that many, really. She wasn't very lucky or shrewd in choosing her husbands, and her choices never worked out or got her in trouble with the nobles in her kingdom or with other States, particularly England. After having been forced to abdicate in favor of her son James, she escaped to England, but neither her claim to the English throne nor her championship of the Catholic faith made her many friends there, certainly not at the court of Queen Elisabeth. She died basically without ever having achieved anything worth mentioning, apart from having her son, who was to become king of England and Scotland after Elisabeth's death.
