I mean, we literally print their face on our currency. There was a federal holiday for the queen's funeral. Just because they don't have any involvement in immediate decision making doesn't mean they don't have a big influence on Canadian society that is beneficial to them, it's certainly not by accident.

What I'm taking away from that response is that you know quite well that the monarchy have no real power in Canada.
