		The badge of the Monarchist League of Canada.
		The Monarchist League of Canada is a non-partisan, not-for-profit organization formed in 1970 by John Aimers and Gary Toffoli.
		Today the Monarchist League of Canada continues to promote awareness of both the larger body of the Crown as a shared link between the Commonwealth Realms, and the Crown in Right of Canada as an integral institution of the Canadian state, emphasizing in particular those aspects of the Monarchy which it identifies as distinctly Canadian.

	Monarchy in Canada - Gurupedia
		In fact, Canada is one of the oldest continuing monarchies in the world, first under the kings of France in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries and then under the British crown in the 18th and 19th centuries.
		Today, virtually all of the Queen's Canadian duties are performed by her representatives in Canada, the Governor General and the Lieutenant Governors of the provinces, though occasionally the Queen's authority is appealed to by Canada's partisan political leaders.
		Monarchists have responded by arguing that having a monarchy, with a Queen of Canada and a governor-general, is one of the key identity differences between the United States and Canada and thus is important to maintain the country's independence from its southern neighbour.

		The thing that keeps Canada together is the tolerance we have: Instead of forcing everybody into one melting pot as they have done in the States, we have allowed the regions and we have encouraged the regions to develop their own identity.
		Canada is a mosaic of people whose cultures are unique, but they combine these unique heritages to form what we call Canada.
		Canada is a relatively young country and it is time that we, as a sovereign nation, began to mature.

		In Canada, the separation of the functions of Government and State may sometimes be lost on casual observers, but it is a profoundly practical idea that has been given expression over the years in how each of these functions is defined and empowered.
		In Canada, the function of Government is clearly separated from the function of the State.
		In Canada, the power to legislate change is vested in the democratically elected, but the symbolism and practice of the State is entrusted to an appointed capacity and is devoid of any but the single power to perpetuate the democratically elected process of Government.

		Canada is one of 16 countries that have Queen Elizabeth as their head of state.
		The fact that Canada has inherited a Protestant monarchy does not diminish the Crown's representation of atheists, Jews or people of other religions, says John Aimers, chairman of the Monarchist League, any more than the Pope's Polish nationality excludes Catholics from other countries.
		Aimers of the Monarchist League attributes some of an increase in Canadian support for the monarchy within the past year, notably among young people, to a surge in "positive nationalism" in which the Crown is regarded as an institution that clearly distinguishes Canadians from Americans.
