	The Queen of Canada?
		Queen Elizabeth 2 is the official head of state in Canada, a fact lost on many Canadians who assume that the prime minister runs the country.
		Technicalities aside, the Queen's powers remain formal in nature and are advised by the government, the prime minster, and the Queen's representative in Canada, the Governor General.
		On the Queen's visit to the country, supporters could be spotted handing out pro-republic material, and explain the views to whomever they could pry away from the hordes of people waiting to see Her Majesty.

	THE QUEEN OF CANADA
		The name was suggested by the Marquess of Lorne, Governor General of Canada from 1878 to 1883, in honour of his wife, H.R.H. Princess Louise Caroline Alberta, daughter of Queen Victoria.
		The islands were named after HMS Queen Charlotte, Lord Howe's flagship named in honour of Queen Charlotte, wife of King George III.
		I swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada, Her Heirs and Successors, and that I will faithfully observe the laws of Canada and fulfill my duties as a Canadian citizen.

	The Canadian Royal Heritage Trust - Elizabeth II Queen of Canada
		The Queen's official style and title is "Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom, Canada and Her Other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith".
		Elizabeth II became Queen of Canada because her ancestors (direct and indirect) were the 32 kings and queens who had reigned over the country since Henry VII and François I. These monarchs brought about the discovery, exploration, settlement, defence and development of Canada.
		As Queen of Canada she listens to all her people and passes what she hears on, with or without her own advice, to the political leaders whose job it is to solve the problems.

	cars - Monarchy in Canada
		In common practice, Queen Elizabeth II is referred to simply as "The Queen" or "The Queen of Canada" when in Canada, or when abroad and acting on the advice of her Canadian ministers (such as when she was present at the Canadian 60th anniversary of D-Day ceremony in France, in 2004).
		Canada gained full independence as an autonomous kingdom when the constitution was patriated under Prime Minister Trudeau in 1982, making it Canadian law rather than an act of the British parliament which required amendment in both jurisdictions.
		This was an occasion on which the Queen played a significant role in Canadian government, though as the monarch's advisors made clear, she felt bound to follow the advice of the prime minister, who was answerable to cabinet, parliament, and the Canadian electorate.

	GN Online: Queen's visit likely to rekindle controversy
		Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, the Queen of England, is here on a 12-day visit with her husband Prince Phillip, and while the country is in a royal flush of excitement, offering the couple welcomes wherever they go fit for the Queen of Canada, she is drawing some barbs as well.
		In both instances, the oaths call for swearing allegiance to the Queen – in the case of the former to her heirs and successors as well – rather than to Canada or its people or a Canadian head of state.
		But the problem is that the other fifty per cent of the population is equally adamant that Queen Elizabeth – and her heirs and successors as well – should continue to occupy this most symbolic institution in the country – the head of state of Canada – no matter what.

		The Government of Canada is a "possession" of the Queen, and operates on behalf of her wishes.

		While admitting that for most such visits she serves in the capacity of Queen of the United Kingdom, (and therefore flies the Royal Banner of that country), this is not always the case.
		In 1959, for example, as part of the ceremonial surrounding the opening of the St Lawrence Seaway, she visited the United States in her capacity as the Queen of Canada, (vice the UK).
