It seems to me that the entire Canadian "government" has been a series of dictates from the UK Royals for centuries. There is no actual voting or decision making by We The People of Canada, Eh. It's all what the King or Queen or their heirs decide to do. Oh, and it is all just symbolic according to Grok. 😉😉😉😏
My favorite quote from my conversation with Grok is this one.
For Canada, the King’s presence as head of state is a nod to continuity and tradition. It ties back to the country’s roots as a British colony and its gradual, peaceful evolution into independence, unlike, say, the U.S. with its revolution.
IMO: It's because Canada is still controlled by the UK Monarchy. It's not just a nod to continuity. I think Grok is confused by all this. Adding the answer to your question about Letters Patent just proves the Crown is still in control.
If you want your own country Canada, you need to claim it for yourself, eh!
Feel free to ask more and I will ask Grok on the same thread.
I'm still laughing at Grok's last line.
If you meant a different document—like a provincial or hypothetical one—give me a nudge, and I’ll adjust the lens! Where’d this idea of a voted constitution come from for you?
Its contents are an amalgamation of various codified acts, treaties between the Crown and Indigenous Peoples (both historical and modern), uncodified traditions and conventions.
An uncodified constitution is a type of constitution where the fundamental rules often take the form of customs, usage, precedent and a variety of statutes and legal instruments.[1] An explicit understanding of such a constitution can be developed through commentary by the judiciary, government committees or legal experts. In such a constitutional system, all these elements may be (or may not be) recognized by courts, legislators, and the bureaucracy as binding upon government and limiting its powers. Such a framework is sometimes imprecisely called an "unwritten constitution"; however, all the elements of an uncodified constitution are typically written down in a variety of official documents, though not codified in a single document. However, there may be truly "unwritten" constitutional conventions which while not usually legally enforceable may hold just as much sway as the letter of the law.
An uncodified constitution has the advantages of elasticity, adaptability, and resilience.
In other words, the government can do whatever the hell it wants to the people with ZERO restrictions. They can just adapt to what they want. Hmmm, trucker protest? Seizing bank accounts, arresting peaceful protesters.
It's hard enough to make a government conform to a written constitution that the people actually voted on through Constitutional Conventions. There's no hope for Canada. Sorry. Canada has no Constitution if it can be changed whenever the government wants to change the law on any whim they want.
EDIT:
I asked Grok about the Canadian Constitution and its uncodified nature. What a hot mess. Answers here.
Keep the questions coming. Grok is a LLM that is most likely searching existing docs highly censored by the crown. So the more questions the more likely we will break through the firewall. At some point, Grok is going to realize we're serious about getting to the bottom of this!
I did a deep dive with Grok an had an interesting conversation.
ok, man long but great read.
Long list of discrepancies found. I will forward to people who will be able to pick this apart and formulate very specific questions for Grog.
Yup interesting for sure. Thanks for this. I would have asked this as well,
Letters Patent what are they ?
Where are Letters Patent given to present day GG held ?
Is a PM royal since he can issue Letters Patent ?
Did Queen Victoria state in her will to free all dominions ?
Where is the constitution the canadian people voted on held ?
I will now build a coffee and read this again. Thanks again good stuff.
Great additional questions!
I've asked Grok and here are the results.

ohh crap, just seen this addition, thx man. Back to reading hahaha
Haha, I took your pondering as a direct order.
Feel free to ask more and I will ask Grok on the same thread.

I find answers given generally very insecure lol. We will spend some time on this and get back to you if you good with this
Check out this load of bullshit...
Constitution of Canada
Uncodified constitution
