Does the Queen control Canada?
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.
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 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.

HRM Queen Elizabeth II is officially non-political. She does not participate in political debate, and her official roles in the government include actions such as the official Opening of Parliament, official appointment of the Prime Minister (after his party has won election), commissioning officers of the armed forces, and granting pardons and reprieves. The Queen maintains distance from everyday political exercises.
The official role of Sovereign is to represent the British people and to only involve itself in government if the government is getting out-of-hand and becoming harmful to the people; in her long reign as Queen, Her Majesty has never had to take any such drastic measures. It is thought that the Queen is a moderate conservative, although she and her family members have spoken out numerous times in defense of the poor and underprivileged in Britain.
The short answer is, no one is really sure.
What were some obstacles that Queen Elizabeth II had?
when Elizabeth succeeded the throne, she was presented with the daunting task of repairing a divided country. Strong in demeanour and will, she had been properly prepared to tackle the challenges that would arise during her illustrious time on the throne. Elizabeth immediately assembled a loyal political administration, including nine Privy Councillors. The key appointment was Sir William Cecil as Principal Secretary. This was the beginning of a successful partnership that would endure for thirty-eight years of Elizabeth's reign.
In one of the first meetings of Parliament, Elizabeth sought to restore Protestantism with the 1559 Acts of Supremacy and Uniformity. Her goal was to refrain from the extreme Protestantism as seen during Edward's reign or the rigid Catholicism of Mary's. Elizabeth sought a middle ground, expanding the Church's ideologies to include the majority of her subjects. With the creation of the New Prayer Book, diverse spiritual needs were met. Although Elizabeth transformed England into a liberal religious state, she could never forgive the Roman Catholic Church for labelling her a 'bastard'. As a result, many plots to murder Elizabeth were devised. All failed miserably.
Elizabeth managed to overcome all adversaries. Her reign in fact is considered one of England's most notable periods, dubbed the Elizabethan or Golden Age.
What did Queen Elizabeth second eat?
Food during the Elizabethan Era varied considerably; however, royalty often ate poultry, fish and fresh foods and vegetables. Supposedly, Elizabeth rarely ate breakfast - which was common during this time. When breakfast was eaten, it mainly consisted of eggs and pancakes. Peacock and hares seemed to be a primary staple in Elizabeth's diet, which were often served as part of elaborate feasts. Breads were also important, with wheat loafs being eaten by the upper classes.
While the Queen and the Royal family are allowed to vote, traditionally they do not because it could be considered unconstitutional. What that means is that while legally she is entitled to vote, tradition and how the role of the Royal family has evolved have made it unconstitutional (not allowed) because it would be seen as interfering in politics.

Who reads and answers mail addressed to Queen Elizabeth II?
Simply write to her! I have done so and you will get a reply from one of her ladies in waiting, or private secretary, as long as your letter is pleasant and well intentioned. It is very unlikely that you will get a personal reply from the queen herself, but the Palace will do its utmost to reply to all letters. It is likely, however, that Her Majesty will read your letter and dictate a reply or at least ask for one to be written, by her secretary or lady in waiting. Do not start your letter 'Dear ...' . Start the letter with 'Your Majesty, '. Write what you would like to say, and if you wish yo address her personally throughout the letter it is not good manners to continue with 'Your Majesty', but she prefers the less formal "madam' or "ma'am". End your letter "Yours sincerely" with your name. Her address is: Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second Buckingham Palace London SW1A 1AA United Kingdom. If you write in the summer, you may well receive a reply from one of her vacation homes either in Sandringham or Balmoral, Scotland.
