Canada is a Constitutional Democratic Monarchy. The monarchy holds veto over Canadian law and this protects Canada from ever becoming corrupted. The Queen has not used her veto power without approval of parliament or the people as long as I have been alive in fact I can't think of a time in Canada's democratic history in which the monarchy has imposed its will on Canada.
Our democratic process is perfect and has tons of fail safes. But the monarchy is the absolute final line of defence protecting our country from ever falling from democracy.
Let me explain the Queen could not dissolve parliament without Government support easily. If the political parties were opposed the Queen would have a very hard time dissolving parliament. In the same way the queen would have a very difficult time forcing the country to do anything without the support of the political parties. The only way the queen could intervene and over throw Canada's political system would be if she had the support of the people.
Canada is far better off under the monarchy. We have benefitted massively from being under the crown. In fact it was the British Monarchy that protected us from the Americans. When the Americans invaded Canada it was the British that supported our troops in burning down the White House. It was the British that helped us establish the democratic Government we have today. The British that empowered us.
America fighting the British benefitted America to a degree. But British assistance and monarchratic rule made Canada what it is today.
Then look at India and Pakistan. Yes the British Empire was brutal but guess what when Britain left the region fell apart. Africa is now in ruin everywhere Britain left is now in ruin except America, South Africa is doing alright to my knowledge but the majority of the countries that left the monarchy are now screwed.
