Seriously???
In 1982, Canada adopted its own constitution and became a completely independent country from England. Although it’s still part of the British Commonwealth—a constitutional monarchy that accepts the British monarch as its own. Charles III is King of Canada. However, his role is essentially ceremonial, and he does not interfere in Canadian self-governance.
Since 1867 Canada has had a Prime Minister as the head of state, and decisions over the running of the country were made by our elected officials, not the monarchy...
Nah.
The Prime Minister is the Head of Government, The King is the Head of State.

Canada’s Constitutional Monarchy
Canada is a constitutional monarchy. The Monarch (the King or Queen) is the Head of State, whose powers are defined by the Constitution and constitutional conventions. These responsibilities are carried out by the Governor General (the Monarch’s representative in Canada).
The Monarchy in Canada
The positions of Head of State and Head of Government are held by separate people. The Prime Minister is the Head of Government, and the Monarch – currently His Majesty King Charles III – is the Head of State.
The Monarch’s powers and responsibilities are established and limited by the Canadian Constitution and several other laws.
Canada shares its Monarch with several other Commonwealth realms such as Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. The Monarch’s role within each country is unique and independent from the others.
Head of State vs. Head of Government
In some countries, such as the United States and Mexico, the Head of State and the Head of Government are the same person.
In Canada, the
Head of State has important constitutional responsibilities but no political role. They are strictly non-partisan (not affiliated with any political party or platform).
The
Head of Government is a political figure who leads Cabinet.
