Mr. Boisvert.  What type of parent are you?  Not only do you seem to want to remain ignorant of the truth, but perpetuate that ignorance on your own children.  When you say we have a foreign monarchy, you are in fact presenting alternative facts.  Canada is a monarchy, a uniquely Canadian one, with a Sovereign, a governor-general and 10 lieutenant-governors.   Our system of honours, heraldry, and Great Seal, are all unique to Canada, and so too is the Sovereign's title and flag..  The fact that our Sovereign lives abroad is irrelevant.  Indeed, it's one of the strengths of our monarchy.  God save the Queen.
