Most Canadians have been indoctrinated to believe they have a democracy

Thank you for the quick responses :) This debate has a nice clip that I hope you are enjoying as much as I am. Onto arguments, once again organized by breaking up the affirmation's post into pieces. "That form of government in which the sovereign power resides in and is exercised by the whole body of free citizens.. Who is the sovereign power in government - The Queen not the people ." So, I'll need to reiterate my round 1 posting again, as it doesn't seem that the affirmation has given that a full read yet. I conclusively prove, in #1 of my round 1 post, that the Crown is merely a ceremonial head of state. All power that the government of GB has is vested in the people via the parliament and their PM. The Queen isn't even given the sovereign power of her own nation, much less Canada's. And the power of the government, empirically, is vested in the Canadian people. I refer you to my detailed explanations of the appointment of the Governor General, the voting in of the members of Canadian parliament, and the appointment of the Canadian PM. The Crown, even in its decision of who its representative will be in Canada, defers to the Canadian people via their PM. "Who is the sovereign power in the U.S. government- the Queen? Why not. For the SOVEREIGN power to reside in the people they would of had to ratify a constitution giving the government power. The Sovereign power in Canadas government is the Queen; not a constitution." First of all, Canada has a constitution. It was ratified by all territories in Canada, save Quebec, in 1982 (and that was only its last incarnation—there were other versions prior). That is, as constitutions often are, the supreme law of the land in Canada. Though the document does not grant a 100% separation from GB, it guarantees the rights of both Canadian citizens and the Canadian government, as well as a policy for amending the document without a congruent amendment being approved by the British parliament. The British parliament also passed the Canada Act of 1982. Literally, the only pseudo-political power that the queen has in Canada is with the Governor General, and I've already explained the workings of that office. "The people of Canada have never given the government any power." The government of GB or the government of Canada? I'm confused as to how the Canadian citizenry hasn't given their own government any authority, and yet it still votes for its own parliamentary members each year… "You refuse to admit you can't come up with any hansard documents declaring Canadas Independance and sovereignty because their are none, all you can come up with is government propaganda. The Queen is not the whole body of free citizens; only in your indoctrinated mind." Since this doesn't refute my arguments regarding my inability to be indoctrinated by a country that I have absolutely no political investment in whatsoever, the affirmation has failed to prove my inherent indoctrination. For every empirical, logical, and politically sound argument I have raised, he simply says: "It's all further proof that the Queen of England has brainwashed you." The Canadian parliament is, for all intents and purposes, the ruling body of Canada. No documentation is required to prove this simple point, though I do offer plenty of evidence which proves this point. Note that the affirmation has addressed not a single piece. I refuse to admit nothing; I have simply proven that I don't need to furnish those specific documents, nor must they exist for Canada to be a democratic nation.
