The Queen is still the symbolic head of state for Canada. Her representative in Canada is the Governor General. She has no real powers in Canada, but many of us still show her a great deal of respect.

I don't think they bare her image. Is she topless on Canadian currency? Since Canada is part of the Commonwealth, Canada's Chief of State (different from Head of Government) is on the currency. She is depicted clothed, however, not bare.

Canada is a constitutional monarchy, just like Australia. The queen is just a figurehead, but she has absolutely no powers except to appoint the governor general in canada, who has pretty much no powers either. So it's just symbolic!

Because Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has been Queen of Canada (Head of State of Canada) ever since Feb. 1952.

Though, IMO, there are some indications the two main political parties of Canada may be trying to replace Her Majesty with the Governor-General as "Head of State".

Canada is still considered under the Queen's rule.
Aside from French Quebec, Canada is British.
