Does the the British monarchy rule Canada or is it a sovereign nation?
I've read conflicting reports about whether Canada is an independent and autonomous nation or if it is under control of Her Majesty's paliamentary governance. It would seem the Queen still reigns as she is recognized as Head of State (Supreme ruler) with the Governor General of Canada being her appointee and official representative. The Prime Minister's role seems to have less importance than what we're led to believe. For now I'm open to debate but please comment with factual information and not just hearsay.

Sadly, many Canadians have been brainwashed into thinking they are sovereign and independent from British rule. They falsely believe they have control over their government's actions, and thus, their own lives. In reality, the only time they can exercise their democratic right is every few years at election time. Other than that, it's generally the Queen's Privy Council, or lobbyists for major corporations, or the radical activist minority who have any say in government policy.
In reality, it doesn't matter which political party is voted into power because they all march to the same drummer. U.S. politics operates in much the same manner and a video depicting this deception is noted below.
Though it may be transparent to the average citizen, legally and constitutionally the Queen has far-reaching authority and personal involvement in politics. She holds all powers of state in the Commonwealth nations and is head of the Church of England. That's why you see the Queen's portrait prominently displayed on the walls of every public office in Canada and not the Prime Minister's. Her image imprinted on the nation's money is more than symbolism. It reflects the nation's committment to the processes of the British feudal monetary system.
Riddle me this: If the land that you purchase is self-governing and politically unrestrained, why are you forced to pay annual taxes to the "Crown"? (i.e. reigning monarch of the British Empire) You'll soon find out who really owns your property if you miss paying your "dues".
If the Queen lacks any real power, why are all our naval ships named HMCS? Why does the Prime Minister of Canada sit in a nondescript chair while the Governor General (Queen's representative) gives a speech from her lofty, ornate throne? Why does the PM require the consent of the Governor General to suspend parliament? Why does the Governor General answer only to the Queen? Why is the PM only allowed to speak in the House of 'commons' and not the House of 'Lords'? Think this is all for show? Think again.
When a RCMP writes you a ticket, they are utilizing the power of the Queen. That's why they wear a Royal Crown on their apparel. If you go to court, you'll face the charge "HM the Queen vs. Joe Six-Pack." Officially, it is the Crown that charges you, and if guilty, it's the Crown's power that locks you up. All bills in Canada require Royal Assent to become law.
There is much the general public is unaware of when it comes to the power of the British monarchy. For instance, the Federal Reserve is owned by the Rothschilds who are an agent of the Queen. The 'City of London' is run by the Bank of England, a private corporation. The square-mile-large City is a sovereign state located in the heart of greater London and is not subject to British law.
The Queen of England is actually of German ancestry and not British. A fake name taken from one of the king's castles, the 'House of Windsor', was created early in the 20th Century to cover up the German domination of Buckingham Palace and to facilitate war with a country Britain had previously been allied with.
The crown rules over 50 nations, and all under one monarch. The Queen has the ability to suspend any of her puppet parliaments at her whim and did so recently in Canada through her representative here, Governor General Michaelle Jean.
Some proponents of Canadian sovereignty will cite the 1931 Statute of Westminster as proof, but since the amendment was never fully enacted by the writ of a new Canadian Constitution, the British monarchy still reigns supreme.
The truth is that the Queen is the Head of state and chief public representative of the Commonwealth. Her Majesty's paliamentary have undisputed claim to exercise the rights of British governance on the colonies. It's high time the peasants woke up to the reality of who their master is.
Actual sample test questions for new immigrants seeking Canadian citizenship:
1. What will you promise when you take the Oath of Citizenship?
Ans: (a) I affirm that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada, Her Heirs and successors.
2. Who is Canada's Head of State? Or
Who is the person who holds the highest position in national government?
Ans: (b) Queen Elizabeth II
3. What is the final step before a bill becomes a law? Or
Who signs the Bill to make it law?
Ans: (a) The Governor General gives final approval and the bill becomes law.
"It is good to be home." - Queen Elizabeth II upon arrival recently in Canada.
I hope this makes it perfectly clear as to what the status of Canada's so-called 'sovereignty' is, and who is really running the show in this country and throughout the entire British commonwealth.

Britain has no power over Canada, and the British monarchy does not rule Canada.
On the other hand, the Canadian monarchy does have vast powers over Canada, but of course are rarely used aside of for emergencies.
Queen Elizabeth II is equally and separately Queen of Canada, Britain, and several other countries.
Canada is a completely sovereign and independent nation, sharing a monarch and head of state with several other countries. The Queen is global monarch.
The Governor General is the Queen's representative in Canada at federal/national level, she also has representatives at provincial level. The GG exercises most of the Queen's powers while she is not in Canada. The Prime Minister, as the origin of the word may imply, is the primary advisor to the Monarch and her representative the Governor General, and that's how the PM gets much of his executive influence constitutionally. The PM is appointed by the GG, and is usually the leader of the largest party in the House of Commons.

You are correct the Queen, and in her absence the Governor General is the Head of State in Canada. Canada is however an independent and sovereign nation, best described as a Constitutional Monarchy. There were a number of events in Canada's history that led to this, the final one being the patriation of the Constitution in 1982.
As an independent nation, Canada has no ties with Britain with the exception of sharing the same Head of State. Elizabeth II in her role of Head of State is the Queen of Canada.
As for the Prime Minister, I certainly haven't been led to believe the Prime Minister is more important than he or she factually is. The Prime Minister is appointed by the Head of State, who by convention selects the leader of the party with the most seats in Parliament. The Head of State in turn acts on the advice of the Prime Minister.

Canada is ruled by the Queen of Canada, Queen Elizabeth II. Since the Charter was passed in 1982, we have been a completely sovereign nation, independent from Britain. Our only remaining link to the country is that Queen Elizabeth II is both of our heads of state, however she does hold both titles independently of one another. If the United Kingdom decided to become a republic, Canada (And all the other commonwealth countries) would retain their monarchies. Since Her Majesty lives in England, though, the Governor General performs her parliamentary duties for her, here.

The tie is that the British sovereign and the Canadian sovereign are the comparable individual. Canada is a thoroughly sovereign u . s . a .. It has ties because of the fact it desperate to undertake its very own monarchy. working example Elizabeth II is the Queen of Canada. Its rather like i need to be President of the fishing affiliation and President of the soccer league 2 distinctive posts held via one individual. confident nicely Canadian regulation recognises her as sovereign yet some communities in Canada do in contrast to her quite often although those are separatist communities who do no longer rather want to be a area of Canada besides. The Queen under Canadian regulation on a similar time as no longer a citizen is a Canadian national. the reason being custom and how Canada has developed. in addition they like it because of the fact it makes them distinctive to the US. they are Sovereign. they keep the comparable Monarch because of the fact they nonetheless know the Statue of Westminster which gave them their finished independence. they might replace this in the event that they needed yet they have not. they are sovereign and self governing. The Canada is a constitutional monarchy the place the monarch is greater a of a titular place besides and because she has sixteen geographical regions those she isn't in completely she appoints a Governor-generic to characterize her on propose from the government. Canada is a u . s . a . because of the fact they are sovereign and self governing. No they do no longer seem to be like a US state.

Canada IS a sovereign state, but our leader is the Queen of england. There are two positions n this answer: the queen of England and the Queen of Canada. they just happen to be held by one person. Saying that Britain owns Canada wold be like saying that australia owns Bermuda. They have the same leader, don't they?

Canada is indeed independent country. If England control us then why we don't have their pounds? It's conflict.
