Technically, yes the HoS is the Supreme leader of Canada. That's how it works. Look, I understand the difference between how the powers are used in practice vs. what is written. But the reality is that the Queen has the final say if she wants. Now, if she started doing that we would obviously have real problems. But the fact is, that is how our system exists. And if we want to undo that, it isn't all that simple.
Sorry for being condescending, I was just a little shocked that people think the Queen has no official power beyond a ceremonial role.
