No, old news.

Is the Queen still head of state or something in Canada?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, she is, but in name only. She appoints a Governor General at the recommendation of Canada's government, and he makes the few decisions that are left to the Head of State.

Wow. Seriously, do Canadians dig having a Queen?

I do actually (lots of Brits do, lots don't, lots don't care), if only cos it's only such a British thing, and because it's nice to have something symbolic that comes above the weaselly elected officials.

Isn't it about time she was just made Queen of Earth, anyway? We could do a darn sight worse [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
