1718:? States entrust their heads of state with varying duties, responsibilities and privileges. The term "head of state" is meant to gloss over these distinctions so the term can be applied equaly to Kings/Queens (constitutional and absolute), Presidents, Supreme Leaders, Emperors, Sultans etc. Just because the GG preforms functions that were historically performed by a King (or their direct representative), doesn't mean those duties were "head of state" duties, nor that performing them makes one a de facto head of state. The whole point of the term head of state is that it is intentionally ambitious about what duties the position entails. In any event, the

Kenneth Munro says "For many years, journalists and broadcasters have contributed to the confusion and fuss about who is, in fact, the Canadian head of state". Constitutional publications just don't cover this.... as academics in the field seem to simply dismiss the media arguments. Thus we need to explain why this comes up in the media and what constitutional scholars have to say.
