The reason for this is pure and simple, Rideau Hall is full of republicans. In 2006 when Harper became Prime Minister..he personally had to advise the Governor General to refer to herself as the Queen's representative in Canada in the throne speech
Mme Clarkson while GG removed all references to the Queen from the GG's website...and never refered to herself as the Queen's representative. It appears Rideau Hall continues to function in the matter. She also played a huge role in the removal of the Queen from diplomatic letters.
The GG's office uses the letters patient of 1947 as justification to say the GG is head of state. What they fail to mention is that at any time the Queen can revoke these letters, make changes etc.
It would be nice if our next GG is actually a monarchist.
