Canada is not a country and has never been a country, it is a colony as evidenced by the 1947 Letters Patent.
Canada cannot be on the UN security council because it's not a country.

He's actually the 2nd coming of G.W Bush or Canada's version of G.W Bush.

Obviously you didn't read my post. Canada has been governing itself since 1982... Canada legally OWNS Canada..Read all about it here

You didn't know that the council has a limited number of seats? Didn't you know that we have also served on the council for 12 years before losing our seat in 2010 because of 8 votes? Read more here
The Governor General is an historic symbollic position
I could go on, but your shameful lack of education in your own country's politics demonstrates a level of ignorance that is quite frankly appalling.

The Native Canadians are taking lands back, this includes any lands currently labeled "Crown Land". See Land Claims, and Algonquin Claims for more details... The Algonquin deal is almost finished.

We've had some good lawyers, notably a hero one, that my family really respects, and my father met, the Honorable Thomas Berger, who won native rights in BC Pro Bono. I've read essays by constitutional lawyer who said that the legislation that is put out by our "leaders"/employees, is not law, its legislation. The Constitution is the basis for law, and things that violate it are not only unlawful, but anyone enforcing unlawful legislation that violates the constitution, and Common Law as well as the Nuremburg Trials exluded no german who followed unjust laws, that our common sense tell us is wrong as well, as common law is based on common sense and thou shalt no harm. Anyone, be it a police officer, or public employee who enforces an unjust law is breaking the law, committing a crime, whether or not they are aware of the law or not!
There are White Hats and we need them more than ever at this point.
Canada Act, also called Constitution Act of 1982, Canada’s constitution approved by the British Parliament on March 25, 1982, and proclaimed by Queen Elizabeth II on April 17, 1982, making Canada wholly independent. The document contains the original statute that established the Canadian Confederation in 1867 (the British North America Act), the amendments made to it by the British Parliament over the years, and new material resulting from negotiations between the federal and provincial governments between 1980 and 1982.

Why do you still cling to one link from 1947 when in fact in 1982 Canadians became their own country? Forty years after your source, Canada indeed gained it's own sovereign status!

But, since you can't change your mind or listen to logic, I will go no further. It's clear that you will believe what you want to in the face of evidence to the contrary.
And yes, I agree that the Governor General is a redundant office that should be abolished.
The fact remains that this fast track bill is going to be passed likely before this thread is dead! We can argue the finer points all we want, but in the end this government has an excuse to take more rights and freedoms away.
THAT is the point we should be discussing here!

You are confusing the British Crown and the Crown of Canada.
Although, currently held by the same person, they are two distinct and separate crowns.
That is why, if you note, the Queen is not called the Queen of the United Kingdom, or Queen of the Commonwealth, etc, etc, while in Canada. Instead, she is called the Queen of Canada.
Here is the Canadian Government website: Canadian Crown
Her Majesty was the first of Canada's sovereigns to be proclaimed separately Queen of Canada. In 1953, a Canadian law, the Royal Style and Titles Act, formally conferred upon Elizabeth II the title of "Queen of Canada".
Her Majesty was proclaimed in Canada with these words: "By the Grace of God of the United Kingdom, Canada and Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith."
Queen Elizabeth II became the first monarch to be separately proclaimed Sovereign of Canada. The proclamation reaffirmed the new monarch's position as Queen of Canada, a role independent of that as Queen of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms.

This will be my last post on this, as you are completely incapable of accepting facts.
Here is a nice little exert from a link we both posted, in which you claim that Canada is not independent:

I have underlined the pertinent information, let me know if you need it in crayon.
