I mean it's not just any old foreign bank either though, in Canada the King of England is still our head of state.

The King of England is not our head of state, the King of Canada is our head of state. It's an important distinction because the Canadian and British monarchies are legally distinct offices. Canada is not subordinate to Britain like it once was as a colony, and our succession laws, royal titles and even the powers of our monarch are all determined by our law and constitution - not British law.

Mark Carney is born and raised Canadian. Just because he has had an illustrious career internationally does not make him any less Canadian than someone who has lived here their entire lives.

Very interesting! I was surprised to learn that the King of Canada sometimes even visits to do some kinging[0].
