"The monarchy of Canada is Canada's form of government embodied by the Canadian sovereign and head of state. It is one of the key components of Canadian sovereignty and sits at the core of Canada's constitutional federal structure and Westminster-style parliamentary democracy.^[6] The monarchy is the foundation of the executive (King-in-Council), legislative (King-in-Parliament), and judicial (King-on-the-Bench) branches of both federal and provincial jurisdictions.^[10] The current king of Canada is Charles III, who has reigned since 8 September 2022.^[17]

Although the person of the sovereign is shared with 14 other independent countries within the Commonwealth of Nations, each country's monarchy is separate and legally distinct.^[23] As a result, the current monarch is officially titled King of Canada and, in this capacity, he and other members of the royal family undertake public and private functions domestically and abroad as representatives of Canada. However, the monarch is the only member of the royal family with any constitutional role. "

"In a monarchy, the Crown is an abstract concept or symbol that represents the state and its government. In a constitutional monarchy such as Canada, the Crown is the source of non-partisan sovereign authority. It is part of the legislative, executive and judicial powers that govern the country. Under Canada’s system of responsible government, the Crown performs each of these functions on the binding advice, or through the actions of, members of Parliament, ministers or judges. As the embodiment of the Crown, the monarch — currently King Charles III — serves as head of state. The King and his vice-regal representatives — the governor general at the federal level and lieutenant-governors provincially — possess what are known as prerogative powers; they can be made without the approval of another branch of government, though they are rarely used. The King and his representatives also fulfill ceremonial functions as Head of State."

The Crown is a central part of the  Canadian system of government.

Can God create a rock They couldn't lift? Too bad! Canada can, and did it (again and again).

.. how would you describe someone (that's plural by the way) who created a rule that couldn't be changed, like ever? They have to be very smart and powerful.. or patented and accomplished id..ts. Any other options, in this, real world? "It's such a can of worms" (the eternal motto; what would it be in Latin, by the way?)

... no, they don't need to think. Thinking is expensive, why bother? By the way have you tried the prawns next door they're really good! And put it on the expense account, will ya.

Yes, the Canadian Crown.  The British Crown has no legal involvement in Canada anymore.  It's an entirely separate legal title.

Yes, except that the King is the embodiment of the Crown.  The Crown is an abstract concept and is represented in a number of things with the King being at the peak.  The King represents the Crown for Britain and he represents the Crown for Canada.  We are still connected with Britain in the sense we share the same King as a Constitutional Monarchy but all other things associated with the Crown such as GGs, Lieutenant Governors of each province, etc. are separate from Britain which has its own constitution and system.  The concept of the Crown for Canada is an integral part of our system.

When you say we threw the British Crown out, that could be taken the wrong way.  We did not throw the Crown out.  We became independent and Britain does not rule or govern Canada, but we still have the King and the concept of a Crown.  The Crown is just an abstract term that refers to the King of Canada, his representatives in Canada, and all the government apparatus connected.
