She's your queen, deal.
I'd take Justin Trudeau as King of Canada over any foreigner, any time.  As a bonus, it would piss of Neil to no end, so it would be good :)

You make an intriguing proposal, i shall have to think on it :P

But really, I don't know why this bugs you so much. I mean none of the other Quebecer posters, seperatists or not, seem bothered by our head of state. She's not a foreigner, she's your queen. What passport, if any, she travels with makes no difference. My parents, should they so wish, could travel under a Portuguese passport, but they're still Canadian.

She travels to more than one country, so she needs a passport.  Unless I am mistaken, it is not a canadian passport.

Only if the law requires it.  Since it does not, she needs no passport.  Heads of State and Diplomats don't always require passports to move from one country to another.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I don't really get Nationalism.  I have a difficult time seeing why one group should be exalted above others due to the actions of their ancestors several hundred years ago.

Dude, the seperatists want to quit Canada.  De facto, she wouldn't be our queen if we were to seperate...  Even I don't think the PQ would be moronic enough to adopt the Queen as head of State for an independant Quebec.  Chavez is a possibility, though :P

The Queen does not have a passport as she is not a citizen of any country :

Why would she not be a citizen of Britain, Canada, Australia etc.?

Interesting link RH.

She's not a citizen because she's The Queen.  She *is* the state.

She is not an absolute monarch, so she is merely the head of state, not the state. "The Crown" may be a synonym for the state, but the person itself isn't.
