I am not remotely kidding when I say that when Elizabeth died, the crown should've passed to one of her corgis. Whichever one is the best housetrained.

Counterpoint. It should been the one that was most feral.

I've seen more than one person say Charles isn't allowed to support Canada right now. Bullfuckingshit.
Will he be arrested for putting out a generic message saying he supports Canada? Will he be deposed? No? Then he is fucking allowed to do it.
JFC, people. Rules don't exist unless they're enforced.

marygillis.bsky.social•1 day ago

It's embarrassing the way people still cling to the idea of "the rules" when what's happening in the US is proof that rules don't exist without enforcement and the powerful almost never experience enforcement. Letting them off the hook for anything because "they have to follow the rules" is asinine.

marygillis.bsky.social•1 day ago

Thinking that "the rules" are real and solid rather than a framework created every day through human choice, one that the powerful can opt out of any time they please, is a child's conception of the world.

Any crime with only a fine is legal for the rich; any law broken without consequence ceases to be a law.

on a side note: what the fuck is with his kielbasa fingers

OMG, wouldn't it be amazing if they made a dog king. I would move there for that alone.

Abolish the monarchy in 🇨🇦

But what kind of dog? I suggest a Newfoundland...or Labrador. Oh what about 2 dogs: Newfoundland and Labrador.

If he won’t comment then at least uninvite that🍊🤡piece of 💩 to your state visit! Spineless ass! Why he was invited in the first place is beyond me!!

Intense Anglophilia is one of the reasons that I can't respect canada these days. Anglophilia has rotted all our brains. We can break out of it.... with the correct sunglasses.

Finally, we reached a time in history where Mother England and their Monarchy has a chance to stand up for one of their Commonwealth offspring, and they got nothing to say? Yes, beyond useless.

geramisepehr.bsky.social•1 day ago

The monarch isn't allowed to speak his mind. That's the system.
He can only read the speech the PM hands him.

marygillis.bsky.social•1 day ago

I don't give a flying fuck what he's "allowed" to do. He's our goddamn head of state.
Systems are rules made up by people, they're not handed down by gods.
What are they gonna do if he puts out a generic message saying he supports Canada, depose him?

alekradic.ca•1 day ago

Understood. But what is his purpose then?

geramisepehr.bsky.social•1 day ago

But yes, I agree with the general sentiment.

brownsuddenly.bsky.social•1 day ago

Says who?

geramisepehr.bsky.social•1 day ago

Constitutional monarchy and responsible government.
The King may only speak and act through and on advice of his cabinet, who must hold confidence of parliament. 🤷‍♂️

brownsuddenly.bsky.social•1 day ago

Nah.

geramisepehr.bsky.social•1 day ago

Okay then I'll inform the King.

brownsuddenly.bsky.social•1 day ago

Thanks!

And Republic of Canada has such a nice ring to it.

marygillis.bsky.social•1 day ago

Nah, we should have a one-word name. Canada. Like Cher.

mikduffy.bsky.social•1 day ago

Well, you can get rid of the objection the Mounties will have about losing the R in RCMP by disbanding them.

therealelaschuk.bsky.social•1 day ago

Great Britain has been the actual 51st State for decades so probably best we don’t count on them for much in the way of assistance.

If it's any consolation, he'll likely be dead from cancer soon enough. Hopefully Willie will be a somewhat better King but really what do they do besides live high off the taxpayer hog and cut ribbons?

edappleby.bsky.social•1 day ago

And just like that, I am no longer a royalist

Perhaps even a more Canadian animal, like a beaver or moose. A Canadian goose during times of conflict.
