Technically, the Queen forms a pivotal part of our government structure, in 
that her representative (the Governor General) can tell the Prime Minister 
to go pound sand.
Unfortunately it doesn't work that way in reality, but I much prefer our 
method of bringing down a government that is running amok (the GG signing 
them out of power) than your way (assassinating unpopular presidents).
I have appealed to the Queen (GG) myself when I felt I was being treated 
unfairly by Revenue Canada, and she made them go away.
Consider the awesomeness of someone having that much power......
