King Charles III is an important symbol in Canada’s continuing pep rally to build Canadian pride, unity and enthusiasm for the path forward that @mark-carney.bsky.social & his @liberalca.bsky.social are proposing. Go Canada 🇨🇦
The State Visit won't happen. Charles goes to Canada for 24hrs for state opening of Parliament even though having treatment for cancer ... to send message. Trump will prob go to Scotland this year (new golf course opening) & prob get invite to Balmoral for a dinner, but not a State Visit.
Next year King likely to go to USA for 250th anniversary celebrations so unlikely State Visit happen in same year. There'll be further excuses for remainder of Trump's term.
It won't happen. Understated British diplomacy at it's best.
TBH I expected more subtlety for sure! As I was listening to King Charles I was definitely cheering him on for ‘going there’!! #CanadaStrong 🇨🇦 #TrueNorthStrongAndFree 🇨🇦
MSMSNBC refers to King Charles III, in context of his speech from the throne to Canadian Parliament, as the “British monarch”. King Charles III is the King of Canada, a role quite distinct and separate from being King of the UK.
You can’t expect an American cable network to get the minutiae of such things precisely correct. Indeed, even here in Canada, few people consider the monarchy as anything but vaguely symbolic and largely irrelevant.
No matter what happens in the future we can’t rebuild the relationships an power that is being lost by donald they won’t integrate with us again an will be independent
I appreciated the speech but I don't think I'd call the swipe at Trump "subtle."
Maybe Donald himself might have been like "HEY!" five stoplights later, but for the rest of us, the Trump digs were as plain as the ears on Chuck's head.
The irony. A “King” ( from the country we won our Democracy from) sitting on a throne (Queen Elizabeth’s BTW) emphasizing democratic values.
The times we live in.
Yes I know. Oh Canada. However, the optics are rather ironic. Throne chair. A “King.” Perhaps he kept his name as ruler just for 💩 and giggles or maybe he’s trying to revamp the one who had his head cut off as he thought he was divine.
Perhaps you should do some reading.
