what a load of nonsense
How nonsense? Canada still has the Queen on coinage, still pays homage with Queen’s visits, still calls things “Royal” this&that w/o benefit of its own border-bound king or queen. Never mind its not-so-distant history of doing what the UK says to do. Can you deny that?
I call it as I see it. Sorry if I don’t have all the info, but what I have says “not truly independent”.
