Canada and Monarchy

This is related to the monarchy and the English relationship with it. Be sure to watch to the end
 
I can't wait to see a zillion articles polluting the news websites talking about the children of the royal family's first zit.

A royal pimple! OMG!!!!

The Surprising Potential of King Charles’s Reign

The UK’s constitution won’t change, but he could subtly influence policy in one specific area.

A lot of this applies to Canada too.

In short summary, there is value in not changing the constitutional foundation of a country too quickly. Let things play out over time rather than be hasty and get rid of the King.
 
Remember the concept of "Canada" was founded by the United Empire Loyalists, some being expats from the U.S. when the American Revolution ousted the conservative element therefrom. Canada has always been a friendly Commonwealth country as has Australia and New Zealand. The Commonwealth, even with its uneven history, today is a unifying element in a world that is loaded with chaos.
 
I know this thread is old and kinda dead, but I thought I'd share. I think I have an unpopular opinion on this among people my age but I don't think Canada should ever leave the Commonwealth. As @archited pointed out the British Monarchy is a part of the Canadian National Identity and distinguishes us from the USA. Second of all I hope some day to form the CANZUK Union, something along the lines of the EU between Canada, the UK, New Zealand and Australia. Increasing trade and cooperation, will help Canada's bargaining position on the world stage. Also Canada will naturally become the centre of the movement of trade throughout this Union. Also increased opportunities to work and cross between the countries freely.
 
The world's biggest asshole wants Canada to be the 51st state of the United States. Were this to be taken seriously, how would this affect the monarchy in Canada among other things?
 
Actually, I think now is the time to get behind CANZUK and for trade purposes maybe include a few other "friendly" Commonwealth countries (South Africa, for instance and a number of West Indies countries like Jamaica and the Bahamas). There is the potential for a super-power there that can counter-balance the U.S.
 
Sorry fellas, the 20th century is gone, and along with it any relevance the Commonwealth had.

Lizzy was the last true UK monarch. Have you seen pics of Charles' coronation? Guy looked like he didn't even want to be there...

And let's be real.. Any anglosphere alliance that excluded the US was never going to have much relevance.

Beyond the UK's remaining financial influence, none of the members have the sort of industrial capacity or political sway to pull anything like that off.

The mistake many are making right now is viewing Trump as a politician. That's just his current role, at heart he is and always will be a businessman, and right now he's president of USA INC.

When he calls Canada the 51st state, that's an opening offer. Seems it could easily be negotiated into 10 states in the newly formed USSA INC (Unified Syrupy States of America) by a savy enough leader.

Too bad we might not have one of those...


For those who thinks it's impossible, the guy just effectively collapsed the government of a G7 nation with little more than internet shitposts before he was even technically on the job.

And to put my Nostradamus glasses on for a moment, if the continental governments (MX and CentAm too) don't come to some sort of peaceful merger, the annexation scenario will play out the moment after the Pearl Harbour 2 event occurs.

Better to negotiate now than turn over the keys later IMO.

I’m gonna fully disagree with much of this, first of all if anyone toppled Trudeau I’d say Freeland started it. That letter and the resulting palace uprising was the cause, Trump was just the joker on the side.

As for us becoming part of the US, nope and nope. There are so many reasons it won’t happen, and just as many more that it shouldn’t. Why won’t it? Unless he’s gonna take us by force and he’d need an act of congress for that, then Canadians are overwhelmingly opposed and republicans if they stop and think about it don’t want another 45 million democrats leaning voters(because in Canada reality is a large portion would lean that way). So there’s no true mechanism for it.

Why shouldn’t it? We have different values, very different values. Gun ownership, health care, environment, human rights, equality, schooling, etc are very different. I want no part of it. Do we have issues? Yup but I’d take ours over there’s.

What I do agree with is he’s not a typical president, he sees everything through the lense of a business transaction and that we need to start to understand that and act accordingly.
 
^^I would like to know what you mean by true monarch. Charles inherited the throne from his mother legitimately as she did from her father. So what is the issue. You just don’t like him?
To suggest Donald J Trump is a business man beggars belief. He is a mob boss, a cheat, a fraudster , a rapist , an extortionist, a tax cheat. Need I go on he tried to embezzle money from a children’s charity. A business man adds value to his assets he bankrupted a casino ffs. So rest assured if he thinks something is a good idea best steer clear unless you want to invest a couple of billion dollars in his crypto currency you never know tarrifs could go away.

4 year term and lots of time to see the pendulum swing both ways. BRICS expansion will draw blood from the USA and weaken its influence and I think that is a good thing for Canada. Even Macron in France apparently wants to join BRICS to lessen the power and influence of the USA. BRICS is what this whole grab Canada thing is about. I am waiting for Mexico to push back the USA by threatening membership in BRICS - they might if they can mange the trade shit storm the USA would release.
