Revision as of 22:40, 10 April 2007
The Dominion of Canada was created by the British North America Act (now known as the Constitution Act) of 1867. Canada is a constitutional monarchy which shares its sovereign with the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth Realms. As such, every British sovereign since Victoria has also been Sovereign of Canada, although Elizabeth II was the first monarch to be separately proclaimed as Queen of Canada (in the Royal Style and Titles Act of 1953).
The monarch is Canada's de jure Head of State. When the monarch is absent from Canada (the great majority of the time), the monarch is represented by the Governor General of Canada, who serves as Canada's de facto Head of State.
