In a previous article, "Jay Honeck" said:
The British Queen is a constitutional monarch. She has no control over
Canada and almost zero over the UK. She is a figurehead.
I was under the impression that the Crown still had veto power over
Parliament?

If the Crown ever tried to exercise that power, they would soon find
themselves out of a job. Look at Fiji - the Queen didn't even dare say a
word when the democratic government was overthrown by a military coup. Or
Australia, which is probably going to become a Republic real soon now
because the Governor General had the audacity to refuse to recognize a
government.
