Most of us have no memory of anyone other than Elizabeth being Queen. And in truth she has been a dedicated and model Monarch:

KING’S LYNN, United Kingdom — Queen Elizabeth II renewed her vow to serve on Monday as she made a low-key start to five months of diamond jubilee celebrations marking her 60 years on the throne.
Six decades after the death of her father King George VI on February 6, 1952 made the young princess a queen overnight, the monarch said in a message to her subjects she wanted to, “Dedicate myself anew to your service.”
The 85-year-old also thanked the nation for “the wonderful support and encouragement that you have given to me and Prince Philip over these years,” a reference to her husband of 64 years, who recently underwent heart surgery.

Canadian Monarchists remind me of immature single 40 year old men living in their mother's basement. Unable to strike out on their own and form normal adult relationships, ... they remain attached to dysfunctional matriarchal emotional ties.
Ridiculous! Canada is not a real nation. It's time for Canada to grow up.
Leftdog....what a ridiculous comment. Canada is a country with our own Constitution. The Queen represents what has gone before including our Parlimentary system upon which Canada has based its govenance. Shake, shake, shake it baby and take in a little history.
woof woof woof!
"... 90% of abortions in Canada are performed during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, and just over 9% of abortions take place between 12 and 20 weeks of gestation. A mere 0.4% of abortions take place after 20 weeks of gestation... A very small number of abortions occur after 20 weeks of gestation primarily because the fetus is gravely or fatally impaired, or the woman's life or physical health is at risk, or both..."
