At this time, we still have a Governor General who could theoretically say no, at the behest of the Monarch, if the sitting gov't of the day tries to pass laws that would gravely rob Canadians of democratically passed freedoms, and turn parliament into more of a laughingstock than it already is.
Safeguards are important.
You may not have liked it, but Mike Pence having the power to approve the electors' votes in Congress, despite the rage from Trump, likely saved a crisis the likes of which no western democracy has seen, and that would have sent seismic waves throughout the world.
Pandora's box is real.
Safeguards are important.
Just my two cents.

Abolishing the monarchy would not change history, any more than abolishing slavery didn't change history. Both only change the future for the better, although both require a lot of effort to accomplish. As for the governor general, although he/she technically could delay the passing of bills, he/she is appointed by the Government, so they haven't used their authority to impede any of the asinine bills that Trudeau and his corrupt government have passed .
