The Queen was not involved.

It’s all very confusing up here for Americans, I know.

I’m American and correct me if I am wrong but the Governor-General represents the sovereign of Britain, Queen Elizabeth who is still recognized as the head of state of Canada and is the Executive who signs into law legislation from Parliament. Does she have veto power or is it like in England where the Queen can’t veto.

Now the Governor-General is chosen by Canadians, the British have no say in the affairs of Canada. Am I right about this?
