I disagree with this analysis. The Church of England as the state church of Canada was abolished in 1854, 23 years before Confederation, while the Province of Canada was still a British colony. There has never been a state church in Canada since then. QEII may be the "Defender of the Faith" but she is not "Defender of Canada's faith", because there is no such thing.

The Royal Style and Titles Act in no way established the Church of England as Canada's state church.
