Post Re: PM Stephen Harper Ties The Knot With 3 Prorogations Since Taking Office

The Governor-General prorogated (suspended) Parliament on the request of the PM Stephen Harper. The question that needs an answer is whether she made an informed, non-partisan and impartial decision to do so as the representative of the Head of State (Queen of England) here in Canada.

For instance, I wrote my MP and the GG, but should I be writing the Queen as Executive?

Maybe so since many consider her to be the Queen of Canada (Canada being a Monarchy on paper) along with her other "Queenie" titles for the other Commonwealth states.

And really, if so, is the Queen ready for a bunch of emails from disgruntled Canadians?

Possibly...apparently she hopped on a bus in England the other day so maybe there is still a shred of hope for her.

What exactly is her function and democratic infrastructure to respond, to act or to even care? What are Her motives anyway?! Are they even stated clearly somewhere... anywhere... ? In a kind of policy statement.... ?

A search engine googling 'Head of State Queen of England per Commonwealth Nations might give a lead.....

In Stephen Harper's own words ('97): We have an executive, we have two legislative houses, and we have a Supreme Court. However, our executive is the Queen, who doesn't live here. Her representative is the Governor General, who is an appointed buddy of the Prime Minister.

Stephen Harper's ego is as big as his stomach...as usual he twists words around to suit his purposes....

I don't want to follow the gossip, statements, photo shoots, history on the 'The official website of the British Monarchy,' fascinating as it may be. I want to click on a link that says Canada - How we govern you and PS don't email me. Please.

http://www.royal.gov.uk/

It's all behind the scenes. I chose my Realm (Canada) as a member of the Commonwealth, but the general websites are the same for all the Commonwealth countries. Should I check Media Information? Does the GG pass on Her emails (from disgruntled Canadians) to The Queen? Is there even a protocol? Can Canadians see these reports, if there are any? Or is that too much to ask for the little pisswash public?

Stephen Harper has already axed all kinds of Access to Information freedoms. So, who do I complain to about it.
A search engine googling 'Head of State Queen of England per Commonwealth Nations might give a lead or approach the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada Beverly McLachlin.
