michael, the queen is a figure head...we have a governor general that in theory reports to the queen, which is kind of nice in a way because its an alternative voice and alternative representative for our country, which i approve of...

i don't think much of the monarchy or this sort of system, however, seriously, if a nutbag came to power in England, well, at least the Royal family is an alternative voice...they may be mediocre, but i think its best England keeps them around...
