This is news? I've known since a child that Canada was a dominion of the British crown. All the government services were termed "Royal," as in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, or the Royal Canadian Air Force. They are still, on paper, subservant to a crown governor.
I looked into the topic of "constitution for Alberta" and it was eyebrow-raising. Apparently, U.S. citizens are spared (but Canadians are not) of the old English tradition of the "unwritten constitution", consisting of all laws and decrees pertaining to the governance of a region. Kind of like government on the principle of "Didn't you get the memo?"

The Governor General picks the PM, not the People.
