The vast majority of Canadians would tell you the Queen has no real power. The Royal Family is just a holdover from earlier times and its role is primarily ceremonial.
However, the Constitution, the fundamental Law of the Land makes crystal clear that the Queen has power over and above our elected politicians.
Article #9 in the Canadian Constitution states in full:
"The Executive Government and Authority of and over Canada is hereby declared to continue and be vested in the Queen."
Article #15 states in full:
"The Command-in-Chief of the Land and Naval Militia, and of all Naval and Military Forces, of and in Canada, is hereby declared to continue and be vested in the Queen."
Those two clauses alone tell the story. Some will admit that she does have the power, but never exercises it. That's because they never see it being exercised. The media is not privy to closed door meetings between the Governor General (the Queen's representative in Canada) and politicians or bureaucrats.
As if any family that has held untold wealth and power for many generations would ever simply relinquish their power without a lot of blood being shed.
This is a good example of how real power hides behind front men. In this case, hiding in plain sight.
It's a good example of how the public can be so easily bamboozled.
It shows that politics and elections are just window dressing to give the public the illusion that they have a voice. But every elected MP or MPP must swear allegiance to the Queen - they do not swear any allegiance to Canadians, even the ones that voted for them.
