We already have a Canadian Governor General doing the actual job, why not just formalize it and do away eyes the crown.

The Governor General is appointed by the Crown as its representative, technically. You can't have the former without the latter.

We could move to having an elected President as head of state as well as a Prime Minister who tends to the day-to-day business of government, as some other countries like France do, but it wouldn't really change much of anything . . . except adding the trouble and expense of another federal election. Seems like a lot of work for nothing to me.

Then again, I have no Indigenous ancestry and no bad history with the Crown, and I can see why people in the Yukon might feel differently about it.
