the Monarchyb> inb> Canada and the Governor General

Inb> contemporary Canada, the Governor General has traditionally been some "elder statesman" from the Prime Minister's party, such as a former cabinet minister or a senator, who deserves a reward for loyalty.
It is a little odd for Canada's Head of State to live inb> a foreign nation and only visit every four or five years, so we have a special "acting" Canadian Head of State that serves when the Queen is not around.
Canada is a member of the British Commonwealth, and thus we "share" the monarchyb> with about a dozen other countries.

Michael A. Dobbin @ Dobbinnian.com - The Monarchyb> inb> Canada

If Canada wishes to continue to discuss openly her quest for national identity, the issue of the monarchyb> must eventually come to a head.
This could suit Canada well enough, as it is the Prime Minister who is essentially the leader of the government, while the Queen, or inb> most cases the Governor General, acts as head of state.
Century view of Canada as a frontier nation huddled along the banks of the mighty St. Lawrence River, with the Pacific Ocean, and the ‘ends of the earth’ stretching far off to the west and north.

The Monarchyb>, the Conservatives, the Future, and Canada

Inb> this day and age, for example, no one seriously believes the Senate functions as a house of "sober second thought" or that the Prime Minister governs as the "first among equals" inb> a strong cabinet.
Much of Canada's early history was dominated by attitudes of staunch and illogical anti-Americanism among political elites, an often mindless and undemocratic allegiance to the British Empire at the expense of Canada's own interests, and an economic legacy of failure due to blatantly anti-market protectionism and massive state intervention.
The monarchyb> by contrast represents a holdover from "old" Toryism, and an era inb> which conservatives rallied against the "latent republicanism" of their political opponents inb> a heavily labored attempt to keep their North American nation firmly inb> the colonial cultural mindset, with preserved "British" values.

Monarchyb>-Free Canada - Federal Political Parties

With polls showing Quebecers 72 - 76 percent inb> favour of abolishing the monarchyb> and BQ leader Gilles Duceppe saying he's opposed to monarchyb> inb> Canada - calling it a "genetic lottery", we can probably safely assume that the Queen would not be a part of the government of an independent Quebec.
As far as the rest of Canada is concerned, the Bloc does send MPs to the federal parliament and should a parliamentary vote on removing the monarchyb> ever be held, most Bloc MP's would likely either vote inb> favour or abstain.
The NDP's Social Democratic Forum on Canada’s Future, presented as a preliminary report to the party's Federal Council on January 30, 1999 and discussed at the National Convention from August 27 to 29, 1999, goes further than any of the three major federalist parties toward being inb> favour of Canadianizing the head of state.

Monarchyb> Canada

The more recent model was Mr Hnatyshyns immediate predecessor, the republican Jeanne Sauvé who said, "Mais absolument, on devrait abolir la monarchie au Canada!" ("But absolutely, the Monarchyb> must be abolished inb> Canada!")
Over those years Monarchyb> Canada and its editors publicly defended the Governor-General (to the approval and sometimes at the request of his officials) when he was inb> the right.
This decor reflects both the future of Canada as a Pacific Rim country, as one aide explained, as well as the 1920s era of the Willingdons who first gave it that look.

Monarchyb> Canada

This inb> fact means that cabinets as a whole supervise such activities of government rather than leaving them to unsupervised officials even of cabinet rank.
For example, relying on the description of the functions of the representative of the Crown inb> the Constitution Act 1867, Parliament and legislatures inb> Canada and its provinces have conferred regulatory and adjudicatory functions on the governor-inb>-council rather than on ministers individually, the system followed inb> the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand.
It is the existence of the Crown which has allowed governments inb> Canada to sustain the position, favourable to them but one which they no longer announce for public consumption, that they do not derive their authority from the people or from the legislature.

Re: Monarchyb> works... -- Imperial Canada

I feel the Imperial Crown of Canada would do far more to bring the various different peoples of Canada together than the British Crown has ever done, currently does, or ever will be able to do.
I hope you don't think that Imperial Canada is a republican movement inb> disguise.
Yes, Canada should continue to have its parliamentary system of government, the crown, etc. Let's just have the crown be truly Canadian.
