Her Majesty the Queen of Canada holds vast powers to be used during a constitutional crisis or emergency. However, the fact that Canada is a constitutional monarchy ensures that these powers would not be used except during very serious circumstances, and only to restore a democratic Government of Canada. Most of the Queen's powers are, in any event, delegated to the Governor General.

Why doesn't Canada have a president?

Canada is a parliamentary democracy within a constitutional monarchy.While some system of government include a president who acts as head of State, in Canada's system of constitutional monarchy, Her Majesty the Queen is Canada's head of State. The Queen is represented for most purposes by the Governor General of Canada (who is appointed by the Queen on the advice of the prime minister).Although executive power is vested in the Queen (and thereby exercised by the Governor General), the use of executive power in Canada is done on the advice of the prime minister and other ministers who are responsible to the elected House of Commons. The prime minister acts as head of Government for Canada, and is accountable for Canada's political decisions and positions.
