Nah. Most of the political power resides in elected officials, which means the monarchy is authorized by the Canadian public. And even the Queen herself is restricted by our constitution.
Our head of state may be a monarch, but the state is actually governed by parliamentary powers. You see, your head of state is also a part of your government, in addition to being your military commander-in-chief and your chief diplomat. If anything, your president is more like a monarch to your nation than the Queen is to ours.

No, wait! I think Saudi Arabia should become a constitutional monarchy!
