By all accounts, King Charles III’s major address on Tuesday in Ottawa was meant to be a rebuke to Donald Trump and all his taunts about Canada becoming a 51st state if it had to depend on money from the U.S. in order to survive. Yet when Charles finally delivered his highly anticipated address, he ended up undercutting Canadian sovereignty more than supporting it.
Letting Trump have it was the whole point of Charles’ trip: AP reported Friday that Charles was “coming to Canada to deliver a message: Canada is a sovereign nation distinct from the United States. U.S. President Donald Trump’s repeated suggestion that the U.S. annex its northern neighbor prompted new Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to invite Charles to give the speech from the throne on Tuesday where he will lay out the Canadian government’s agenda when Parliament reopens.”
Yeah, this was really a great idea from the beginning: show Orange Man Bad that you’re a sovereign state by reminding the world that you’re a part of an international conglomeration of former British colonies under the sovereignty of the English king. But when he actually spoke on Tuesday, Charles made it even worse.

The monarch started out well enough, offering some boilerplate about how “we witness Canadians coming together in a renewed sense of national pride, unity and hope.”

Message: Charles is woke. And it really isn’t significantly deeper than that for Charles himself, but the implications of what he said went far beyond what he likely intended. Charles was just affirming that he was a standard-issue 21st-century leftist, full of guilt for colonialism and likely for white supremacy as well, despite never actually having indulged in either one.
So stupid.
Don’t forget beaver pelts and walrus tusks.
Chuck has always run on half a brain. Inbreeding does that.
I think he’s probably just reading a speech that the Canadian PM’s office wrote for him. The Royals aren’t really allowed to express their own opinions, especially not on state occasions.
Charles is not the king of Canada. Donald Trump is.
If Chuckles had another half a brain he’d be a half-wit.
A long-ago acquaintance of mine is a minister in the United Church of Canada. Wondering what had become of him, I googled his name and found some sermons on YouTube that he had delivered during COVID. He started every one with the “unceded land” statement. Do people do this a lot in Canada?
I can picture friends meeting:
Hiya, Bob. How’s it going, eh?
I would like to acknowledge that we are gathered on unceded territory....
They repeat this meaningless silly mantra at even some college events and public lectures. It apparently makes some silly wokesters feel better with their low self- esteem problems.
Pretty much 90 percent of the audience just cringes their way past it. It only wastes a minute or two.
Interestingly, many of these public self- flagellation events fail to play or sing the national anthem.
RE: Charles is not the king of Canada. Donald Trump is.
I wish people ( including Trump ) would quit all these talk of making Canada the 51st state.
It’s IMPRACTICAL and NOT VIABLE. What started out as a troll on Justin Trudeau has now become a serious topic of discussion ( sadly ).
The dimmest bulb in the royal family and his mistress sitting next to him is not far behind.
Canada and South Africa are both London-Brussels woke, globalist satraps
I think his youngest son may be the dimmest.
Charles was never the sharpest knife in the drawer.
At least we know where Harry gets it from.
Harry’s horse training father isn’t that bright either.
“Inbreeding does that.”
True. Charles is an eccentric cuckoo bird.
Most of the royalty in Europe is inbred too.
No wonder they’re messed up, hysterical creatures.
Just liberals. Liberals will gladly sacrifice the entire human race to Assange their guilt. However, the day everybody meets at the volcano to throw themselves into it to make amends, the liberal will be absent.
