KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IN NO WAY IS MEANT TO MAKE FUN OF OR DISRESPECT THE AMERICANS
Canadaian history lesson coming up! In the war of 1812, the U.S declared war on Britain, and, in the 1800s up to around the early 1900s, Canada was part of Britain, General Ross, who led the Britains, decided to push into Washington, We succeeded, upon the invasion, we were out numbered, greatly. But before falling back, we managed to set fire to the "White House". Keep in mind, the "White House" Was not called that at the time, nor was it even white. Dolly Madison, wife of the President, was able to save the portrait of George Washington when she ran from the building. It was rebuilt and white paint was used to cover the damage from the fire. Since then it has been called the "White House".
ALSO, KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS MAY NOT BE THE TRUTH, NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE REALLY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED, BUT THIS IS WHAT BASICALLY HAPPENED.

Technically, Canada still is part of Britain, as you share the Head of State with the United Kingdom.

Tell me, who is on your bank notes?

And why does the Queen being on our money matter? Just because she's on our money does not mean at all that she controls us. Britain does not control Canada anymore.

Task was transferred to the USA.

Make Prince Harry our king, say Canadian monarchists.

Yeah, you're right because Britain isn't a country.
You're aware that the Queen can fire the governor-general?She can declare war on behalf of Canada, She's the head of your army, she can dissolve parliament, and many other powers she has?

All I was saying is a Canadian History lesson and it turns into an argument about the Queen....... Yes, the Queen may be able to do those things, but, she doesn't control EVERYTHING Canada does, like she used to.... Canada is Independent.
-
But you obey the Queen of Britain.
Like some sort of modern colonie.

That's where you're wrong, sir. Canada makes it's own decisions. The Queen still runs SOME of Canada, not ALL of it....
-
Did you make this to make fun of and disrespect amercians?

I suggest you re-read the first post buddy.

The Queen makes some decisions, most decisions are made form Canadian government
-
Queen of Britain.
No such thing
-
No such thing
The Queen is the Queen, there is no other Queen....
-
And the guys whose white house you fucked up are now your cultural and political controllers...
-
The Queen is the Queen, there is no other Queen....
What about Queen Beatrix and Queen Margarethe II? There's also Queen Latifah.
-
it's complicated to be honest
Cyprus speak greek, and most of the people living there are half greek but I can still say it's a different story.
-
Canada doesn't even run itself.
-
To clear up the confusion that it seems people have with Canada and the U.K., think of Puerto Rico and the U.S., and that might make it a little easier to understand. They aren't entirely in the same situation, but the general idea there helps to make a bit more sense of things.
