The British monarchs still hold power and information came out years ago showing some of the extent of it and how they still decide government actions and laws.
It’s hilarious to me that Canadians will pretend the monarchy doesn’t have power over them because they can only appoint and remove the guy who has power over them at will.
Seriously. It’s hilarious to hear people talk about how their actual head of state totally isn’t their head of state because they usually don’t do anything.
Do they actually hold power or is it more like england with using them as trashy entertainment?

Also, that guy?

And they only use that guy to not be rude.

Well that sucks.
They’re not that entertaining unfortunately.
