Dead Constitution See other Dead Constitution Articles Title: N.A.U.: DOES THE QUEEN OF CANADA BECOME THE QUEEN OF UNITED STATES? August 22, 2007 NewsWithViews.com In November, 2004, President Bush told Canada’s then Prime Minister Paul Martin, “It’s good to be home.” Exactly what did he mean? Was he inferring that America has been integrated into Canada’s system of government? Was this “code language” to reveal to a group of insiders that Canada’s queen is the Queen of the United States? Let’s take a look at what we know about our relationship with Canada. They have become America’s largest trading partner—surpassing our trade with Japan. On a daily basis the volume is over $1B or about $400B a year. Twenty-three percent of American exports are sent to Canada and more than 80% of Canada’s exports come to us. They are the largest export market for 39 of the 50 states. We import 80% of Canada’s wood, paper, and pulp and 17% of their oil and 18% of their natural gas. Furthermore, we not only share energy grids all across the northern borders, but New England obtains most of their power from Quebec. Financially, the Nasdaq Stock Exchange owns 30% of the London Stock Exchange and there are plans to erase the barriers between the Canadian and American stock exchanges. Recently the U.S. adopted the UK style of securities regulation. The currencies between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico are becoming one. This new currency, the Amero, will be the common currency for this hemisphere. From a military standpoint, over the past 46 years, America has been inextricably linked to Canada through our joint military efforts through the North American Aerospace Defense Command-NORAD. On September 11, 2001, it was a Canadian general who was holding the chair at NORAD and who gave the order to initiate our defenses. As a result, more than 200 commercial planes were diverted to airports across the U.S. and from coast to coast. Since then both countries have implemented measures to strengthen military cooperation as well as law enforcement and intelligence agencies. In 2002, the two countries established the Bi-national Planning Group to develop joint plans for maritime and land defense and for military support to civil authorities in times of emergency. There are plans to move ahead with a common ballistic missile defense system. Under the new partnership called “Common Security, Common Prosperity, A New Partnership in North America”, the U.S. and Canada, will cooperate to expand business opportunities, protect the environment, improve intelligence-sharing and cross-border law enforcement, counter-terrorism, increase critical infrastructure such as transportation, energy, and communications networks, and renew the NORAD agreement. In addition there are plans to cooperate on clean air and clean water initiatives, especially in the Great Lakes Region. In June 2007, the Financial Times reported that Bush is going to back a treaty to “tackle one of the most contentious issues in relations between the two countries by allowing Britain to buy defense products from American companies without having to obtain export licenses. [T]he treaty would represent a victory for the UK prime minister who has lobbied George W. Bush over this long-standing disagreement between the two.” Currently only Canada has a waiver! Do we see the integration of our countries yet? Therefore in order to ask if the Queen of Canada will become the Queen of America, we need to take a look at Canada’s political structure. While it appears to be like ours, it is not. There is an executive level which we do not have which consists of the queen, the queen’s representative and her Privy Council. According to Wikipedia, Canada is a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy with Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state and queen of Canada with a federal system of parliamentary government. The Canadian Constitution, renamed the Constitution Act of 1867 in 1982, states that Canada’s constitution is “similar in principle to that of the UK” and divides the powers between the federal and provincial governments. The governmental structure is made up of the Executive Branch which is comprised of: the Executive (the Queen), the Governor General, the queen’s representative in Canada who formally appoints the prime minister and their cabinet; the Queen’s Privy Council, the Prime Minister and the Cabinet; the Legislature and the Judiciary. You can see that the Queen has her own Council which is over the rest of the government! Wikipedia states that The Privy Council is the council of advisers to the Queen of Canada whose members are appointed by the Governor General of Canada for life on the advice of the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister and his Cabinet are all sworn into the Queen’s Privy Council for Canada and become MINISTERS OF THE CROWN. The Queen’s Privy Council for Canada was established by the British North America Act and is modeled after Britain’s Privy Council. The formal authority of the council is vested in the Canadian Monarch but is exercised by the Prime Minister and the Canadian Cabinet who make up a minority of the Council’s members. Every member of the Privy Council declares an oath to the queen which in part is, I [name] do solemnly and sincerely swear that I shall be a true and faithful servant to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, as a member of Her Majesty’s Privy Council for Canada. Generally, in all things I shall do as a faithful and true servant ought to do for Her Majesty. The Queen is represented in Canada by the Governor General which she appoints on the advice of the Prime Minister. Every Canadian Providence has a Lieutenant Governor who represents the queen there. Upon taking office, the Governor General takes an Oath of Allegiance: I [name] do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Her Heirs and successors, according to law. So Help me God. The Governor General’s functions are primarily ceremonial. As representative of the Sovereign, the Governor General performs some of the functions normally associated with heads of state. He or she makes state visits abroad, hosts foreign heads of state, receives ambassadors and high commissioners, meets ceremonial groups, and awards medals, decorations and prizes. He or she serves the symbolic role as the Commander-in-Chief of Canadian Forces and fills this position in the name of the queen. The Armed Forces of Canada swear allegiance to the Canadian Crown and not to the sitting and transient government. The Governor General and the Lieutenant Governors are also representatives of “The Crown.” The concept of the Crown took form under the feudal system, evolving from various concepts of kingship. Under England’s feudal system, all rights and privileges were ultimately granted by the ruler. The rights of the Crown are exercised by the Queen’s representatives in her various realms and dominions. It is the queen who is the Commander in Chief of the Canadian Armed Forces. The queen through the Governor General also has the power to dissolve parliament. The Queen’s official title is “Elizabeth the Second by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom, Canada and Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith.” When the queen ascended the throne, there was discussion as to her official title, then Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent said, “Her Majesty is now Queen of Canada but she is the Queen of Canada because she is the Queen of the United Kingdom…It is not a separate office.” Furthermore, the style, “Queen of Canada” is included in the Oath of Allegiance, as well as the Oath of Citizenship. While the prime minister is considered head of government, it is the queen who is head of state. If the governmental structure of Canada is like that of the UK, we need to consider the ties Canada has with England. In November 2004 when Bush declared it was “good to be home,” he pledged the following: My country is determined to work as far as possible within the framework of international organizations and we’re hoping that other nations will work with us to make those institutions more relevant and more effective in meeting the unique threats of our time. Was Bush talking about the Commonwealth, the United Nations or both? If he was speaking about the Commonwealth, we need to understand that the Commonwealth is a brilliant plan devised back in the 1920s by the Royal Institute for International Affairs, which is financed by the estate of Cecil Rhodes, to make it appear that the various colonies, territories and dominions of the United Kingdom were given “independence” and were totally free of British rule. However, that is not the real case. Although they were given “independence,” the British never left. They just changed the structure of government to accommodate the sovereign as head of state and not head of government. This historical feat was accomplished through the Balfour Declaration in 1926 when Britain and its dominions agreed they were equal in status, in no way subordinate one to another in any aspect of their domestic or external affairs, though united by common allegiance to the Crown and freely associated as members of the British Commonwealth of Nations. This was formalized by the Statute of Westminster in 1931. While colonies were given legislative independence, it automatically set the basis for continuing the relationship through the Commonwealth in which they share allegiance to the monarch! Pretty amazing. The Queen is not only Queen of Canada, but Queen of the following Commonwealth countries in our hemisphere: Antigua and Barbuda; The Bahamas; Barbados; Belize; Grenada; Guyana, Jamaica; For St Kitts and Nevis: St. Christopher and Nevis; St. Lucia; and St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Trinidad and Tobago. The Commonwealth today has 53 sovereign states with Queen Elizabeth II as head of the Commonwealth. The Queen’s position is recognized by each state and as such is the symbol of the free association of the organization’s members. The 16 members where the queen is head of state are called Commonwealth Realms. Decolonization started in 1931 with Canada, South Africa and Australia; in the 1940s: India, New Zealand, and Sir Lanka; in the 1950s: Ghana and Malaysia; In the 1960s: twenty more: Barbados, Botswana, Cyprus, Gambia, Guyana, Jamaica, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Malta, Mauritius, Nauru, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Swaziland, Tanzania, Trinidad and Tobago, Uganda and Zambia. During the 1970s, nine more: the Bahamas, Bangladesh, Dominica, Fiji, Grenada, Kiribati, Papua New Guinea, St. Lucia, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, Samoa, Seychelles, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Tuvalu. During the 1980s, seven more: Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, Brunei, Maldives, Pakistan, St. Kitts and Nevis, and Vanuatu and in the 1990s, three more: Cameroon, Mozambique and Namibia. As each country obtained independence, they received a vote at the United Nations. Therefore, the Commonwealth has the potential of 54 votes at the United Nations. Throughout the entire international structure, the United States is OUTVOTED by the Commonwealth. In the Group of Eight, Canada and the United Kingdom outvote the U.S. While the U.S. has 50 states, we only receive one vote at the United Nations! Furthermore in this hemisphere there are 13 Commonwealth countries that swear allegiance to the queen. While the Commonwealth bills itself as a free and voluntary association, several years ago, I separately interviewed three representatives from three different African countries. When I asked why they don’t go to Britain for help, they said there was no help from them. When I asked why they don’t withdraw from the Commonwealth, they each looked at me with terror and said they could not. We Americans would be extremely naive if we thought that Britain was a good loser over the outcome of the American Revolution and the Battle of New Orleans in 1812. As explained in a previous article, “Treason in the Congress,” there is a very, very powerful group of men whose money runs the world both here in Britain and the U.S. These Pilgrims swear allegiance to the Crown and have been working since 1902 and 1903 respectively to bring America back under British rule. While it appears Senator Charles Schumer is a Pilgrim, maybe we need to ask if our president, who is distantly related to the queen, is also a Pilgrim. It appears he does not swear allegiance to the Constitution! Perhaps NAFTA was the beginning of a bloodless coup and the Common Security and Prosperity Partnership sealed the merger between the U.S., Canada, and Britain. Just maybe the Queen of Canada is indeed the Queen of the United States! It is time for TRUE AMERICANS TO WAKE UP! Related Article: 1, ¡Está aquí!

The Governor General's office is ceremonial and its powers are limited. But believe and fear what you want. www.cbc.ca/news/backgr ound/governorgeneral/ Duties: The Governor General's duties, which are largely ceremonial, include: Representing the Crown and ensuring there is always a prime minister. *Acting on advice of prime minister and cabinet ministers to give royal assent to bills passed in the Senate and House of Commons. *Signing state documents. *Reading throne speech. *Presiding over swearing-in of prime minister, chief justice and cabinet ministers.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_of_Canada The monarchy of Canada, also known as the Canadian monarchy[1][2] is a system of government in which a hereditary monarch is the sovereign of Canada, holding the position of head of state; the incumbent is Elizabeth II, ... ... The Canadian monarch, besides reigning in Canada, separately serves as head of state for each of fifteen other Commonwealth countries. http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/3846.htm GOVERNMENT The United Kingdom does not have a written constitution. The equivalent body of law is based on statute, common law, and "traditional rights." Changes may come about formally through new acts of Parliament, informally through the acceptance of new practices and usage, or by judicial precedents. Although Parliament has the theoretical power to make or repeal any law, in actual practice the weight of 700 years of tradition restrains arbitrary actions. Executive power rests nominally with the monarch but actually is exercised by a committee of ministers (cabinet) traditionally selected from among the members of the House of Commons and, to a lesser extent, the House of Lords. The prime minister is normally the leader of the largest party in the Commons, and the government is dependent on its support. Principal Government Officials Head of State--Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II http://freedom4um.com/cgi-bin/postcomment.cgi?an=68530&cn=7&ac=R Scrap Queen's powers' LIB DEMS AT BRIGHTON.(News) Gee.... I wonder why this is neccessary if the Queen holds no power... could it be because she can call for elections AT ANY TIME, whenever the government in power displeases her? Could be.....
It has nothing to do with what you suggest. I believe it is related to the parliamentary system of government. If the majority party fails due to a loss of confidence vote in Parliament ( the other parties vote as a block against the party in power), the Governor General or Monarch is there as a symbolic safe guard so the nation has a semblance of a "leader" for the short time period( a few hours) until the majority party leader tenders his official resignation and a date for a general election is set. In other words, it's ELECTED politicians who bring down the ELECTED majority party. The Queen/Governor General have nothing to do with bringing down the majority party in government whenever they please. You are caught in Henry VIII times regarding the supreme powers of the monarchy. That period of history is long gone.
The Privy Council According to the Privy Council's own public documents, there are 390 members of the Council, who are appointed for life. The Privy Council serves as a vehicle for the Queen's use of her Prerogative Powers, because it is a council with representatives from all branches of the Venetian oligarchy, including: peers from the House of Lords, the prime minister, the Law Lords, all cabinet officers, leaders of the Loyal Opposition in Parliament, prominent individuals in the City of London, and leading members of the established Anglican Communion. The Privy Council is above Parliament, including the House of Lords, because of the Queen's Prerogative Powers. However, the Privy Council not only serves as a vehicle for exercise of the Queen's Prerogative Powers, but its offices also enact statutory powers delegated by various Acts of Parliament. It has its own Order of Precedence, which begins with HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, KG, KT, OM, GBE; then, HRH Prince Charles, Prince of Wales, KG, KT GCB; next come George Leonard Carey, Archbishop of Canterbury, and Lord High Chancellor Lord Mackey of Clashfern; and finally arriving at [former] Prime Minister and First Lord of the Treasury John Major, and, very far down the list, Labour Party leader [now Prime Minister] Anthony Charles Lynton Blair. The fact that Tony Blair was made a member of the Privy Council on July 27, 1994, helps explain why there is not a dime's worth of difference between his policies and those of Tory Prime Minister Major or his predecessor, Lady Margaret Thatcher. As Blair's factional opponent in Labour, Anthony Wedgwood Benn, revealed, based upon personal experience: All members of the Privy Council must take an oath of allegiance to uphold the Queen and her actions. Such oaths are the basis of the myth that the British Empire represents a ``constitutional monarchy.'' As readers of the French Renaissance author François Rabelais would appreciate, the term ``Privy Council'' comes from the earlier days, when only the sovereign's most trusted advisers could approach, while said sovereign was engaged upon the commode. The Privy Council takes on special importance in terms of the Prerogative Powers during times of the sovereign's marriage or demise, which are the only times the Privy Council meets as a whole body. Likewise, the Privy Council takes on added authority in the event of the sovereign's illness or absence abroad. On a change of government, which is one of the Queen's more notorious powers to exercise, or a reconstruction involving ministerial changes, the Privy Council makes the necessary arrangements. Other special duties include the preparation of proclamations for such events as the dissolution and summoning of Parliament and the declaration of national emergency. And, Prerogative Powers include the consideration of applications for the grant (or amendment) of Royal Charters of Incorporation to bodies covering a wide field, such as the original charter for the British East India Company. Crown or Privy Council nominees are often appointed to governing boards. The Privy Council also has statutory powers that have been conferred by a variety of enactments, and they are exercised either by ``Orders in Council'' (i.e., by the sovereign in Council) or by ``Orders of Council'' (i.e., by the Lords of the Privy Council). For example, under the Local Government Act of 1972, borough status and other rights and privileges of district councils are submitted through the Privy Council. The Privy Council Office is also responsible for the annual nomination and appointment of High Sheriffs of the counties of England and Wales, pursuant to the Sheriffs Act 1887. One of the Queen's Prerogative Powers is to instigate criminal investigations, and the Privy Council assists in the preparation and issuance of warrants. There are often junior Privy Councils in the 17 nations of the British Empire where the Queen is sovereign. There used to be a separate Privy Council for Northern Ireland, but this no longer meets and no further appointments can be made to it: Its functions have been transferred to the secretary of state for Northern Ireland. All the most important laws for Northern Ireland today are made by the Queen's Privy Council through ``Orders in Council,'' which is simply one type of secondary legislation authorized by statute (in this case the Northern Ireland Act of 1974).
LOL! The Queen can barely hold on to her fortune and land. The Brits are split 50-50 about dumping their monarchy - not because of the secret power the Queen wields but rather because the Royal Family is a financial burden to the taxpayer and very often a national embaressment ( Charles talking to plants and pretending he is a tampon and the Royal Prince(s) getting arrested for drunk and disorderly conduct). Please. Get real. As for the Governor General in Canada, the appointees are politically correct ethnic "librul" media elites in the main. No seething power-hungry Attila the Hun need apply for the position. You are barking up the wrong NAU tree with regards to the current inbred UK monarchy and their milquetoast representatives abroad.
Didn't she buy up a bunch of land around Denver? Close to that airport?
