Canada is a completely independent country from the UK. The British have NO say in Canadian affairs.

the king is head of state of canada.

canada was a part of the british empire only 100 years ago.


"The Commonwealth" is largely just ceremonial and symbolic. You guys should know that as Canadians lol.

it's not because of the commonwealth. rid the world of the commonwealth and charles would still be head of state.

King Charles III is largely a ceremonial figurehead. He has functionally no power over Canada. If he did try to exert any power over Canada, the Canadian PM and parliament would ignore him, and that would start a geopolitical crisis with the UK.

The main reasons why Canada still has the British monarch as head of state are 1) tradition and 2) becoming a republic would make Canada even more similar to the US (which some Canadians would hate).

Canada is an independent country that makes it's own laws and is responsible for it's own international affairs, separate from the UK. In current times, the United States (and by virtue the US president) has more "power" over Canada than the United Kingdom lol.

"All executive authority is vested in the sovereign, so the monarch's consent is necessary for letters patent and orders-in-council to have legal effect. As well, the monarch is part of the Parliament of Canada, so royal assent is required to allow for bills to become law. While the power for these acts stems from the Canadian people through the constitutional conventions of democracy,[28] executive authority remains vested in the Crown and is only entrusted by the sovereign to the government on behalf of the people. This underlines the Crown's role in safeguarding the rights, freedoms, and democratic system of government of Canadians, reinforcing the fact that "governments are the servants of the people and not the reverse".[29][30] Thus, within Canada's constitutional monarchy the sovereign's direct participation in any of these areas of governance is normally limited, with the sovereign typically exercising executive authority only with the advice and consent of the Cabinet of Canada, and the sovereign's legislative and judicial responsibilities largely carried out through the Parliament of Canada as well as judges and justices of the peace.[29] There are, though, cases where the sovereign or their representative would have a duty to act directly and independently under the doctrine of necessity to prevent genuinely unconstitutional acts.[31][32] In these respects, the sovereign and his viceroys are custodians of the Crown's reserve powers and represent the "power of the people above government and political parties".[33][34] Put another way, the Crown functions as the guarantor of Canada's continuous and stable governance and as a nonpartisan safeguard against the abuse of power.[37]"

Dude, the "head of state" thing is largely ceremonial. How many times do I have to say that?

Charles is NOT the ruler of Canada. He is a powerless figurehead. He's "head of state" just out of tradition/ceremony: nothing else.


Also, 60% of Canadians don't support Charles being "king".

For the last time, all of that stuff you posted is ceremonial. I'm not answering anymore replies in this thread. So don't quote me.
