That goes without saying . You , and those like you , know nothing of the British North America Acts 1867–1975 , the Constitution of Canada or the Statute of Westminster 1931 .
The Queen is a figure head . She has no power in Canada and is respected for the traditions she brings to Canada . She graces our dollar . Beats a dead guy any day.
Exactly. If she is a non-resident non-native she should not be on your currency. It doesn’t make any sense.
I’m aware of the years you mention, at least to some extent. Apparently you’re forgetting 1982. It’s only pretty recently all powers of the UK parliament over Canada were dumped.
1 more step to go.
Incidentally, we’ve had more than dead (native, resident) people on our currency. In the past it was mostly symbolic women (I’m a casual numismatist).
