    The constitutional monarchy is just a leftover remnant and not relevant to daily lift. The Governor General (the King/Queen’s representative) does have the power to dissolve and create governments but it’s really just symbolic. If they were ever to use that power against the wishes of the electorate, that power would probably get taken away really quickly.

    King Charles hasn’t even visted Canada since he became king. That’s how much the monarchy means to us too in Canada. Symbolic, but stay away.
