This is related to pizzagate because stories about pedophile cases and cover-ups are breaking daily in the U.K. and U.S. around pedophelia, intelligence services, and politicians. Right as several people who were scheduled to testify against the Clinton Foundation were found murdered in the past few weeks Canada prime minister Justin Trudeau donated 241 million dillars to the Clinton Foundation. Most people are not aware that Canada is the property of the British Royal Crown and not a democracy. To understand this you must listen to Justin Trudeau swearing in as a servant of her Royal majesty.

Its a constitutional monarchy, you clearly have no understanding of parliament. Every country in the commonwealth has the queen as its head. In canada, She's not the queen of britain, she's the queen of canada. In australia she's the queen of australia, etc. The british government could lock her up and remove all of her powers, she would still be queen of canada. Its not that canada is under british control, its that all of the governments of the commonwealth are independant from one another, but Elizabeth is the head of state for each. Secondly, every prime minister has to swear to the queen. All military members must swear to the queen. Every single facet of the government gets its power from the queen.
Here's the basic way it works: The queen represents total absolute power (If the queen is not in that country, the governer general acts in her stead) The queen delegates a certain amount of power to some select government entities. Those then delegate some of their power, and so on until you get to the lowest level of power. It's like a giant trickle-down.
Here's a quick example. You join the military, you swear allegiance to the crown. Your direct superior officer represents 0.1% of the crown. Hence why you salute him. His superior officer is 0.3%. Keep going up the chain and you get to a general or admiral that represents 25% of the crown. You keep following the chain up past the chief of defence, etc, until you get to the queen, who has 100% authority and cannot be overridden. The numbers aren't accurate, but you get the jist.
Anyway, most people are not "unaware" of the queen, and it is a democracy. Constitional Monarchy is by definition an alliance between the democratic parliament and the crown.
Anyway, i'm sure the donation is some kind of fucked up bribe or something, but your understanding of the commonwealth political system is terrible.

The Queen has no authority over the armed forces, she is just their figurehead. She cannot declare war and has no say in how to manage the countries defences.

The queen has no real power over anything. But for the intents and purposes of this conversation, I'm going along with the idea that she does. She has the same amount of power over the prime minister that she does the military. Which is to say none at all. That's the constitutional part of the constitutional monarchy. If she tries to exercise any of her power and actually rule over her countries, she would be stripped of that power.
But people here believe she still pulls all of the strings, so I'm just rolling with that train of thought.
