I know we are a Constitutional Monarchy, but I was looking at the definition of a Republic, & we pretty much fill it:

We have a Constitution that is our highest law.

We elect representatives.

We have a bi-0cameral legislature, where the upper(Senate) polishes proposed  laws & sends them back to the lower(House of Commons) if they need to be better worded.

Our head of state has final say on a bill before it officially becomes law.

Close enough, I'd say -- could we say we are a de facto republic, an hereditary head of state notwithstanding?
