King Charles is arriving in Canada today in advance of an opening speech he will deliver to the Canadian Parliament. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney invited King Charles to attend, and while the media portray the visit as mostly symbolic there is no doubt the substantive issue for Canada is the economic dependency on the USA and how the U.K can bolster the position of Canada against that threat.
Everything is always about the money of the thing, this dynamic between the U.K and Canada is no different. What we would call the ‘western’ global financial system is contingent upon all U.S. allies retaining the United States as their consumer base and stable currency center. President Trump has exposed the vulnerability of Canada as he confronts the parasitic relationship {GO DEEP}.
In advance of the U.K positioning itself as the skirt behind which Canada can hide from the horrible Trump, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer extended an invitation for President Trump to attend a state visit in his honor later this year. The effusive praise from Starmer during the White House meeting was keenly strategic, so too was their urgency in creating the first new-era free trade agreement with the USA.
Perhaps President Trump’s embrace of Qatar, the UAE and Saudi Arabia should be viewed through this financial prism where the EU, U.K and Canada will ultimately go to war (together) against the efforts of President Trump. Within the partnership of the UK, EU and Canada, the Snow Mexicans are the weakest link, the most vulnerable to collapse from Trump’s economic policy.
Canada no longer has any substantive ability to create heavy machinery industrial goods. Most of the Canadian manufacturing equipment is imported from China and the EU.
The same issue, albeit to a lesser -but increasing- extent, is the core impetus between U.S. President Trump’s manufacturing policies in the USA. President Trump is urgently attempting to rebuild a collapsed industrial manufacturing base. However, from the leftist position of Canada, the easier route that affords them the ability to chase the green energy rainbows is to retain a dependency manufacturing model. These are political decisions.
At the core of this dynamic you will find the reason why President Trump is likely to dissolve the U.S/Mex/Canada (USMCA) trade agreement and instead turn toward two independent bilateral trade agreements between the USA-Mexico and USA-Canada. Extend this reasonably accurate predictive economic reality to its logical conclusion and you see why the U.K wants to help bolster Canada.
In the battle against President Trump’s economic ferocity, Canada is relying on the friendly, duplicitous and influential mask work by Great Britain.
LONDON/OTTAWA (Reuters) – King Charles flies to Canada on Monday for a highly symbolic visit showing support for the nation that recognizes him as its sovereign but is coveted by U.S. President Donald Trump as a 51st U.S. state.
Following an invitation from Prime Minister Mark Carney, Charles will open parliament in Ottawa on Tuesday, the first time a British monarch has carried out the duty since his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth, did so 68 years ago.
Trump has repeatedly expressed a desire to annex Canada, a proposition fiercely rebuffed by Carney whose election win last month came partly on the back of that stance.
“The prime minister has made it clear that Canada is not for sale now, is not for sale ever,” Canada’s envoy to the UK, Ralph Goodale, told reporters during a visit last week by Charles to Canada’s high commission.
“The king, as head of state, will reinforce the power and the strength of that message.”
Charles has made subtle signals of his backing for Canada in recent months, wearing Canadian medals, calling himself the king of Canada, and describing its flag as “a symbol that never fails to elicit a sense of pride and admiration”. (read more)
Remember, the core of the thing is money.
What does that mean?
Well, in addition to the zero-sum mindset of the Canadian and British governments, it also means both Republicans and Democrats in congress will fight President Trump with extreme prejudice.
If you want to see a Republican fight, start to threaten their financial status and suddenly all those spineless Republicans will attack the disruption with a ferocity that could fuel ten-thousand Dragon-X launches. If you doubt that truism, go back and look at the Republican support for President Obama weaponizing the IRS against the Tea Party. If you still doubt that truism, look around right now at how hard the Republicans are fighting to retain the Ukraine laundry operation.
There is no such thing as a “Republican ideology,” it is always about the money.
The UniParty is two wings of the same bird, a vulture.
Republicans will soon profess their undying love for a free and sovereign Canada, and if President Trump doesn’t return the effusive praise for King Charles things will get ugly.
If President Trump walks through the firestorm of the influence campaign and exits to the other side still intending to demand trade reciprocity -using tariffs to deliver it- he will be as isolated from the Republican party apparatus as MAGA voters are.
Eh, he should stay in England.
Moron No. 1, meet Moron No. 2.
I think the reason Trump hasn’t made the Epstein list public is for just this type of situation.
That assigned duty may end up becoming a rather sticky wicket!
NO KING BUT KING JESUS!
King Charles—the economic mastermind. Right.
“The UniParty is two wings of the same bird, a vulture.”
Oooo! That’s GOOD!

What a crock!
He has absolutely nothing to do with the British economic system...
Except to suck a few hundred million dollars a year in royal support...
Things that you can’t make up. Charles, with whatever capacity he may have, not much. Is consulting Canada on defence. Meanwhile, Starmer is trying to start WWIII with Russia, with Carney’s help from Canada. In fairness I can’t leave Macron out, with their French army and 6 rounds each, that military may rival Britians. You can’t make this crap up, no way or how. Is Europe trying to get erased? They keep trying to get the US involved, screw that!
Globalist pos “king”.
The speech he will deliver will be written by “his government” just like the one he would deliver anywhere else he is the King.
It has been a very long time since the monarch has personally attended the state opening of Parliament in Canada, though - not since Queen Elizabeth II many decades ago.
What's great about the headline is that it keeps up the lie that Canada is distinct from The Crown. It's not.
Using "British" as an adjective to distinguish him from the other king Charles - oh, that's right, there is no other King Charles.

I expect similar outcomes.
King Charles III is just as much, wholly and separately, King of Canada as he is King of the U.K. This author appears to be unaware of this basic fact in portraying this as a visit by King Charles to Canada on behalf of the U.K., despite his including of the Reuters article which points that out. The speech may include things Canada will do to bolster economic ties to the U.K. but that would be what is written for him by “his government” in Canada and would be their policy. He would not be addressing parliament as King of the U.K. but as the King of Canada.
