Yes the military in Canada also swears allegiance to the monarch in the UK. So maybe he could order Canadian forces to attack the UK government when they try to abdicate him?
Technically the military in Canada swear allegiance to the monarchy in Canada.
The monarchy of Canada is legally completely distinct from the one in the UK. Or Australia. Or New Zealand. Or any other of HRHs realms and dominions.
It’s just that they all share the same monarch and the rules of succession.
It’s actually theoretically possible for Charles to abdicate the throne in the UK but still remain the King of Canada. Which would be utterly ridiculous and it’s not going to happen, but theoretically it could.
In any case it's a distinction that leads to the same guy.
they're not, they're different sovereign entities that have the same office holder and follow the same rules of succession (from the Act of Settlement)
in the same way a single person can be a director of multiple different companies
>y're different sovereign entities that have the same office holder and follow the same rules of succession (from the Act of Settlement)
Brother he lives in the same place cause he's the same guy. He's in the UK.
this "argument" makes no sense whatsoever
No, its technically a separate monarchy that happens to have the same current monarch and current rules of succession.
A monarchy is an abstract system instantiated within the country to which it applies.
The monarchy of Canada does not reside in the UK .. perhaps you're thinking of the current appointed monarch.
> The monarchy of Canada is the monarchy in the UK.
is false.
As it so happens for the moment.
It's not a bound requirement that such be the case .. as any true student of the history of Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, England, and the Union would well be aware of.
HRMs [edit: just HMs] realms and dominions, actually.
