the queen actually doesn't see a cent of canadian taxes...except when she visits...but she rarely visits...
the argument of the queen as head of state is a lot more complex than what meets the eye...some arguments for are...
- canada can keep ties with europe by the queen...sort of a international relations/economics goodie
- keeps people thinking canada's america jr.
- preventatitve measure against corruption [since she's technically got more power than the prime minister, if ever the gov. turned into militant tyrants...she can go 'hey! stop it!'...]
btw i'm really indiff but...just for the sake of awareness.
