Why didn’t Queen Charlene get a plane?! SO unfair.

Add one consonant to 'gift' and there you are.

I'm so disgusted by all of this. 😥

I detest chick peas and anything made from chick peas. Therefore, I call for the resignation of the Lieutenant Governor for presenting them and the abdication of the King for accepting them. Furthermore, I demand that Canada sever itself from the Commonwealth and ban chickpeas in the Constitution.

And it doesn’t require a $billion to use it.

And no doubt our King was thrilled with them too!

King Charles is knocking it out of the park when it comes to being Royal.

Upstart new kings should pay attention.

Not defending Trump but Charles isn’t a good person to hold up as an example. Charles’s family has been ripping off the UK government for generations, charging them for docking military vessels and hiding payouts from charities they’re supposedly supporting.

Corner Gas on DVD is a nice gift. Just have to make sure it's for the right region on The Other Side Of The Pond so it plays in their DVD player. 📀 🤔 Hmm? You think the King has one already? Ah, no matter... she'd probably have to buy one of those universal travel plug adapters too. 🔌 https://CornerGas.com

Neither of the individuals pictured have been elected to anything and are the vestigial remains of non-democratic government.

Not to mention how this is a reminder that Canada apparently can't have its own head-of-state...
