Figurative head of state. I won't be taking any orders from King Chuck either.

There was a governor general that had some liason-y Queeny-like role in Canadian politics when I was a kid, like he had to transmit her permission to form a new gov't or some shit. I think they told him to fuck off back to rainy land around the time I was a teenager though. We're also not obliged to join any more of your wars; the last time we did as a matter of course was WWII.

My home province also abolished the appointment of senators (equivalent to Lords) in their provincial parliament, and replaced them with elected senators. So you can take that stupid institution and stick it too. We're practically America Junior now in Alberta. Yee haw!
