Lieutenant Governor of Quebec

Looking at the website of the Lieutenant Governor of Quebec,

I notice that the Queen is mentioned just once, in the section dealing
with the Lieutenant Governor's flag. In the French version the Queen is
also mentioned in the section on the flag (Pavillon), as la Souveraine.

Comparing this with the websites of, for example, the Lieutenant
Governors of British Colombia, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia,

which are fairly peppered with references to the Queen, it does look as
if in Quebec the fact that there is a queen at all somewhere bound up
in the role of the Lieutenant Governor of the Province, is best kept
quiet.

By the way, how do Canadians pronounce the word lieutenant, is it
"leftenant" as in British English, or "lootenant" as in American
English?

Might be a third possibility. The word isn't pronounced "leftenant" in
all British contexts. Naval officers have a way of their own.

the Royal Swedish Navy)

Old Government House was abandoned in the late 19th century because it
was too expensive to run.

Somerville House was sold to a couple of dot com gazillionaires who had
gone to UNB and wanted to return to the area. My Fredericton spies
tell me that the pumped a lot of money into fixing the house up.

We pronounce it "Lef-tenant". When I was a child, we would often see
the Lieutenant Governor out and about (his private car bore a license
plate with St. Edwards Crown and a "1") and having what I thought was
the Left-handed governor pointed out to me always made me wonder where
the Right-handed governor was.
