So then you are obviously confused about how power is shared in our constitutional monarchy. While the sovereign enjoys
de jure power (meaning in law),
de facto (meaning in practice) power rests in the hands of parliament. The head of state only acts on the advice of the federal cabinet and this has been the case since 1834 when William IV was the last monarch to dismiss a prime minister. This fantasy you have about the GG going rogue and acting against centuries of constitutional precedent is foolish and any attempt at such would not be tolerated by parliament nor the Canadian public.
I's advise you to lose the condescending attitude and do some more reading because it's clear that you don't have a good grasp on this subject.
