Lieutenant Governor's Standard

I am curious...why does the crest of Quebec (and its representation on the Lieutenant Governor's Standard) still show the Tudor (King's) Crown of King George VI instead of the St. Edward's (Queen's) Crown of the current Monarch, Queen Elizabeth II? I have not seen a photo or drawing of the Quebec crest showing the Queen's Crown. Thank you/Merci. --MarshallStack 04:28, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Simply, because the Government of Québec has never modified Her Majesty's Coat of Arms in Right of Québec. However, if one looks at the Standard used by the Lieutenant Governor of Québec, one will see the St. Edward's Crown instead of the Tudor Crown, which is used on the Arms of Québec.

Curious anachronism

Re Lieutenant Governor of Quebec#History. Baie des Chaleurs railway is a very strange link at best. This needs correcting. Peter Horn User talk 02:33, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, what's the issue? --Ħ MIESIANIACAL 16:15, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

The very name of the Chemin de fer Baie des Chaleurs and the dates of its existence as given in that article. The Chemin de fer Baie des Chaleurs did not come to exist at the time of that scandal mentioned in Lieutenant Governor of Quebec#History unless it was built under another name as part of a predecessor of the CN. Check the dates in both articles referred to. Peter Horn User talk 18:24, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

The kickback scheme took place about 1887, the Chemin de fer Baie des Chaleurs did not begin operating until 1996! That is the issue. Peter Horn User talk 15:54, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Order of Precedence

Regarding the following passage: "Within Quebec, the lieutenant governor also follows only the sovereign in the province's order of precedence, preceding even other members of the Canadian Royal Family and the Queen's federal representative."

Is this not the case for every province? According to the relevant Wikipedia pages, every province has the Lieutenant Governor second in order of precedence, behind the Sovereign/Queen. The Governor General (the Queen's federal representative) is not relevant to provincial precedence, because in matters of Provincial affairs, she has no legal standing as sovereign representative. There is no mention of the Canadian Royal Family in the official precedence guides for other provinces (http://novascotia.ca/iga/tableprec.asp).

Further, Canadian heritage does not list members of the Canadian Royal Family other than the Queen as having any precedence (http://www.pch.gc.ca/pgm/ceem-cced/prtcl/precedence-eng.cfm). The Royal Family appears only to be relevant in military situations, which are never a provincial matter.

Perhaps the above sentence should be amended to "Within Quebec, as in other provinces, the lieutenant governor..."

It is the same in the other provinces. Adding "as in other provinces" doesn't seem terribly objectionable; though, at the same time, I don't know that its necessary. If it is added, the same will have to be done to all the other Canadian lieutenant governor articles. --Ħ MIESIANIACAL 18:09, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

Request for Comment: Should the term "viceroy" be used as a synonym for "Governor General" or "Lieutenant Governor" in articles on Canadian government?

I have started an RfC on this question at Talk:Governor General of Canada. All comments welcome. --Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 14:34, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
