KIng Charles Speech from the Throne in Canada

[ChloeTzang]

Setting out Canada's policies for 2025 on.....without once mentioning Trump, Canada has made it plain they're moving on without the USA.....

King Charles didn't once call anyone scum or radical or extreme. He didn't predict ruin. He didn't once scream, rant or rave, indeed, insult anyone. He spoke about building for the people. He spoke about nation building!! He spoke about principles and that "no nation can exist unto itself." The difference between a real leader and a ranting buffoon.

King Charles, of England and of Canada, does a speech on Canadian sovereignty.

 

[Baztrachian]

Trump is going to wind up being the catalyst that helps Canada achieve more.

Given that eighty years of Canadian leadership has failed to do this and given that Trudeau denied the existence of a Canadian identity and a Canadian nationality then I suppose the Canadians owe Trump some gratitude for making them appreciate their country and culture before their leaders extinguish it.

Don’t know where you get that nonsense but this place isn’t exactly the Hall of Great Thinkers… lol

Trudeau says Canada has no ‘core identity’​

Late last year, Justin Trudeau told the New York Times that Canada is becoming a new kind of country, not defined by our history or European national origins, but by a “pan-cultural heritage”.

“There is no core identity, no mainstream in Canada,” Trudeau said, concluding that he sees Canada as “the first post-national state.”

Even the New York Times called the suggestion “radical.”

WTF is going on in our largest National Park up north? Hosers.

 

[Politruk]

When the King gives his Speech from the Throne in the Westminster Parliament, he does not write it -- the PM does. I presume it's the same in Canada.

Had to go alllllll the way back to 2016 to find a headline to support your narrative.
Very Vetteman-esque.

Your pearl-clutching notwithstanding, King Charles' speech got some rave reviews from the Canadian press.

This was the moment Charles became King of Canada, and Canada his kingdom​

Much has been made of the King’s speech to Parliament, and rightly so. The symbolism was hard to miss. While much of the speech was unremarkable – a bland recapitulation of the Carney government’s core agenda, already familiar from the election campaign – and none of it was earthshaking, what was significant was not what was said but who said it. This was the Sovereign of Canada, speaking in defence of his realm.

He was not merely asserting Canada’s sovereignty, in the face of repeated attempts to undermine and indeed mock it by (we have become numb to the enormity of this) the President of the United States. He was, by virtue of who he is and what he represents, reminding us of what it is based on.

We are, he was saying, not merely a place, or a line on a map. We are a people, a serious people with a proud history, who have built, from some of the most forbidding territory on Earth, a society that is rightly regarded as one of the finest achievements of human statecraft; who have made great sacrifices in defence of their own freedom, and others’; and who have thereby earned the right to take their place among the nations of the Earth. Those who talk of annexing us – or of breaking us apart – would do well to consider just what kind of people they would be tangling with.

The best part of the speech was that His Majesty didn't even have to mention Orange Julius Caesar™ at all, and everyone knew who it was directed to nevertheless.

Self-loathing Canuck Lance Castro will be around shortly with a completely different take on the King's Speech.

Yes altho in this case it seems there was input from Charles as well as Carney

King Charles III was superb. A worthy sucessor to Queen Elizabeth II. A total contrast to Trump's buffoonery.

This is what a speech by a real statesman and leader looks and sounds like.

The difference between a real leader and a ranting buffoon.

He is probably less senile than Biden, but possibly farther gone into delusion. But that may be a moot point. As a figurehead or a real king, there's nothing he can do that would make any difference for the futures of Canada and the UK. They will probably cut the last of their ties and end the commonwealth in the next ten years.

I don't agree there - I think the Commonwealth will keep going for more political and trade reasons. Australia and NZ have always been big on those ties to the UK - it was the UK going into the EEC that cut trade, but they are keen to build those back and I think align more closely with Europe. Canada likewise.

The African and little Carribbean members are more historic and not that impt, but the for them I think it's more political, and the ties will likely stay for a lot longer

This hallucinatory statement shows that ChatGPT is still not ready for prime time.

Why would they? The Canadians seem already to have all the independence they want. The biggest threat to their sovereignty is the U.S., not the Commonwealth.

Trudeau never retracted that statement. Therefore it stands.

Also, both Alberta and Quebec provincial governments are right now taking steps to secede from Ottawa. This is a direct consequence of Liberal Party and NDP leadership asserting globalism over the interests of the Canadian people.

 

[Baztrachian]

You’re one of those guys that paints miniature soldiers in the basement, right?

No. I'm one of those guys who used to be involved in California and then Canadian politics. Once in a while I still consult for a candidate or a voter initiative but that's it.

 

[Lance_Castro]

No. I'm one of those guys who used to be involved in California and then Canadian politics. Once in a while I still consult for a candidate or a voter initiative but that's it.

Your thoughts are so facile I can’t imagine anyone paying you for them, but then again, there’s lots of incompetent consultants.

Lol

Globalism is better than nationalism.

 

[Baztrachian]

Globalism is better than nationalism.

Not everyone agrees with you.

Reason does.

Lol

I get paid for my work. Lots of people have great thoughts but never do anything with them.

My thing is I make thoughts into actions. Including the thoughts of others.

 

[Baztrachian]

Reason does.

And using reason please explain how this is true.

That statement is not true. Please try to be somewhat factual with your comments.

1. Trudope never retracted his statement.

LOL $61 billion for Canada to join Golden Dome or $0 if the 51st State......
Trump announced his Golden Dome thing without checking with Canada. He can't do it without Canada's cooperation. Canada is now using that as leverage in trade negotiations.....

And the American Founding Fathers all went to their respective graves knowing that America was safe because a Negro only counted as 3/5ths of a white man.

Times and circumstances made that viewpoint an anachronism.
We'll see if Trudeau's comments withstand the test of time.
