Good NPC, but I have a problem with this:

Quote:
His links to the Canadian Armed Forces entitle him to be told of Canadian troop movements and this has often been used as an excuse to entertain the Canadian Ambassador George Miller.
This would not happen for because while all troop deployment and disposition orders, including declarations of war, fall within the Royal Prerogative and are issued as orders-in-council, which must be signed by either the monarch or governor general. Under the Westminster system's parliamentary customs and practices, however, the monarch and viceroy must generally follow the advice of his or her ministers in Cabinet, including the Prime Minister and Minister of National Defense. Which means being told of Canadian troop movements would only happen if and the Prime Minister and Minister of National Defense chose to do so. And that is a problem, by 2000 Canada is split into two governments one in western Canada and one in eastern Canada, which means there are effectually two Prime Minister and two Ministers of National Defense. Which brings into question who is he getting the info from?
