Pause the we don’t need a king stuff & all that just for a bit. I’m not a fan. BUT, just think about the message it sends to the world, especially the U.S.’s Loathsome Turd. Canada has the most connected, most influential leader in the world. Nothing will piss that POS more. It’s a brilliant move.
Fuck the king, he could have been loudly standing up for us from across the pond this whole time but has been nothing but a wet noodle. Abolish the monarchy, step one in dismantling our colonial legacy
The monarchy doesn’t do anything loudly, but Carney has deftly given Chuck a way to send a screaming message.
Abolishing the monarchy isn’t a priority now, but as long as it exists, might as well use it to our advantage.
Exactly that. If the Regency naysayers fail to recognize this act as a brilliant strategic maneuver given the threats from outside our country, they can fuck right off. Carney is doing what we elected him to do. So everybody shut up.
There are different kinds of kings. The one we have is the best - ceremonial only. The opposite is the Middle Eastern kings and shiekhs who have absolute power, waste huge amounts of money on vanity megaprojects and who the common people dare not criticize.
Not remotely on the same scale. Charles isn't building Neom or the Mukkab Cube.
But since you don't like the king, you'll automatically see everything he does as a waste of money.
As @trevorpk.bsky.social said "There are different kinds of kings. The one we have is the best - ceremonial only." As @hopefulwish.bsky.social said: Some people don’t see why we need the monarchy, but if the head of state changes that alters our entire governmental structure and ...
... legal system.Personally, I prefer a non-political head of state.
I replied: The appearance, if not the actuality, of Prime Ministerial accountability to a 'neutral' 3rd party. "Quis custodiet" sort of thing. I like the possibility that the Gov Gen *could* have told Harper to shove prorogation
That was my thought too. Also the differences of our form of government will be front and centre😉. Some people don’t see why we need the monarchy, but if the head of state changes that alters our entire governmental structure and legal system.😏. Personally, I prefer a non-political head of state.

Slightly odd the partisanship around this. The citizenship process of Canada, it's literally fact #1 of the process, page 1 of the manual... the oath/allegiance is to the Sovereign. Throne speech is normally read by Governor General who is a proxy of the Sovereign. So... 🤷♂️🤷♂️ like basic facts here.
another demonstration to foreign nations who threaten Canada that we have backup. Like wearing the Canadian naval uniform, the maple leaf pin, and planting the maple tree. Small gestures but ofngrand importance when coming from the monarch who is not to openly take position.
Will see if the British Navy will deliver the King and remain ashore for the opening of Parliament? Memories of a time when a Canadian delegation went to Washington and New Orleans back into the 1800s (before we became friends)

Then again, if I was a foreign dignitary I wouldn’t come to the US right now!
