After Trump, I am more of a royalist. 

They could conceivably refuse to sign a bill that constituted a clear and existential threat to our democracy.  The US doesn't have that.  Trump is favoured to win in 2024.

That's true, but the US has other checks and balances.  Trump, for instance, can't introduce a law or vote on it, not true for our PM.  But it's nice to have the GG as a tool in our back pocket just in case.

Of course, it's just as easy for us to replace the Crown/GG with a president (elected or appointed), and have them serve virtually the exact same role.

I do know that many Quebecers and I assume many indigenous aren't fans of the Crown, which i can understand.  It might be unifying to get rid of the Crown, but then the loyalists would be quite upset, so I could see major fights.  In this political climate I would avoid dealing with this issue right now.
