| | Uni.ca -- Modernizing Canada's Monarchical System |
| | As we have already intimated, it is politically useful to maintain a separate institution of 'head of state' who is distinct from the position of Prime Minister as 'head of government'. | | | In Quebec there is a group of young nationalists who are proposing that Quebec use its powers to replace parliamentary monarchy by a republican constitution with an elected president as the Quebec head of state. | | | An additional figurehead serves as a reminder to the prime minister he or she is not the only or final authority in the land and can also serve as a source of confidential and independent advice. |

| | Michael A. Dobbin @ Dobbinnian.com - The Monarchy in Canada |
| | This could suit Canada well enough, as it is the Prime Minister who is essentially the leader of the government, while the Queen, or in most cases the Governor General, acts as head of state. | | | This was decided to be too risky a title with the potential of inflaming the anti-monarchial tendencies of the Americans. | | | In a multi-cultural, immigrant nation such as this, where the majority is not necessarily of British descent, these symbols, it is argued, are of little importance in a modern era. |

| | In 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" in a strong cabinet. | | | The fact that Canada still recognizes the Queen of England as our head of state embarrasses and disgusts me to no end. | | | Princes Harry and William, for example are children of the Internet and MTV generation. |

| | Monarchy-Free Canada - Federal Political Parties |
| | Their platform is centrist, although leaning a bit to the right, similar to umm..., the old Progressive Conservative Party. | | | This is odd since the Australian Green Party very clearly and publicly declare themselves republican. | | | However, leader Stephen Harper, a long-time advocate of an elected senate, recently called the Upper House appointment process a "relic of the 19th century." Perhaps for the same reason, a democratically-selected head of state could gain favour as well? |

| | This in fact means that cabinets as a whole supervise such activities of government rather than leaving them to unsupervised officials even of cabinet rank. | | | No treaties are now made in "Head of State" form but only between governments. | | | For example, relying on the description of the functions of the representative of the Crown in the Constitution Act 1867, Parliament and legislatures in Canada and its provinces have conferred regulatory and adjudicatory functions on the governor-in-council rather than on ministers individually, the system followed in the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. |
