Canada had never and will never declare independence, with the population being even more worthless and cowardly than modern America. Because of how hands-off Lizzy is, Canada is functionally independent, but is legally a slave of the Crown. The Governor-General, who at the end of the day the monarch appoints, is commander in chief of the military, has absolute veto power over laws passed by Parliament, and can dissolve Parliament or refuse to call elections at their discretion. As soon as the Brits get a monarch who doesn't care about optics or pragmatism, Canadians are going to learn they're about as independent as newborn babies.
Fuck it, give me Moai stickers.
