Canada, Jamaica, Bahamas...
I thought Canada was a Republic?
So they're part of the Commonwealth.. but dont have Queeny as the head of their country...
I am Canadian, and I can assure you that the head of state is Queen Elizabeth II. The republican movement in Canada is relatively weak and is made up of some infrequently vocal malcontents.
Ah... I didnt realise. Down here the Republicans are quite a bit bigger...but suffered a major defeat during a referendum a year or so ago....
