The English monarchy has changed drastically over the centuries. In previous centuries, the king or queen ruled absolutely and had authority over the life and death of all their citizens. Currently, the English monarch is simply a figurehead. The real business of running the country happens in parliament.

Why do you think many french Canadians want to be independent from english-speaking Canadians?

This feeling of independance goes back to when the English conquered Canada (or Québec as it was then called) and took control over the population, who had for quite some time been under French monarchy. As the English tried to assimilate the French population to the English immigrants, by restricting the catholic religion, and imposing an education based on the English system, it was natural for the French-Canadians to feel as tough they were a nation apart. This feeling is still true for many.
