Dozens of First Nations leaders from across the country gathered in front of Parliament Hill Monday with a message for the King as he arrived in the city — respect your treaty partners.
There’s no point in saying technically, he is the King of Canada. That being said the Crown is mostly symbolic like the UK, however symbols can be very powerful. By inviting the King to open Parliament, Carney is symbolically reminding Trump that Canada is much bigger than just one country. Likewise the Chiefs are reminding Canada, specifically Alberta, that the Crown holds the treaties, not Canada.
Basically this is like getting picked on in school then bringing your big brother to lunch. He doesn’t have to do anything, the point is to remind your bullies you have some pretty strong support, and they should think again about continuing to bully you.
MAGATs on both sides of the border were being addressed in King Charle’s speech
We got maple MAGATs that own nothing more than a dot of private land that believe western Canada is their’s to just trade with just a simple referendum but this would interfere with long standing treaties that were signed with First Nations and the crown land of which aren’t just provincially ‘owned’.
There is a reason why Charles mentioned the 3 particular tribes all of which Alberta is entirely lying across. Not one foot of Alberta isn’t native land involved in the treaty. In fact the 3 provinces that are currently the biggest MAGATs supporters are all entirely engulfed in native land that have been involved in long standing treaties.
That’s what that particular announcement mentioning the tribes was all about and why the First Nations were there to make their presence known.
Me thinks the First Nations should want Danielle smith’s head on a platter if she keeps her bullshit up especially now that it’s spoken from the mouth of the king of Canada.
The royals do have power. They rarely swing it. And this hasn’t been done since the 70s. So whether she wants to or not she better be listening with both hands out of her ears on this one. Not often a king comes down from his main throne to address one person in particular in Canada who’s been fucking around. The royals didn’t even do this when Quebec wanted to separate. So this is something.
If trump decide to attack, uk and the king won’t do anything to protect us. No amount of sanctions would hurt the USA and they will surely not bring soldiers to canada. The whole EU effort still struggle against Russia.
You naive if you think this madman trump care about a useless kid
Yes. That’s what Europe thought in 1938 and how they were taken so unaware. This is playing out almost step-by-step Europe in the 1930s. Once Trump consolidates his power he’ll realize his “US first” policy will not work and he’ll start looking outwards to expand the US to get control of more resources. Resources Canada is rich in.
He’s expressed several times that he wants Canada to be part of the US. He hopes we’ll be like Austria where there are enough people supporting unification that he can just walk in without a shot being fired. But he’ll make us a Poland and invade outright if he has to.
Some things require more than just the perceived wishes of a single madman, or the world as we know it would have already been destroyed several times over.

Yea I got the feeling it was about the MAGATs
Bold of you to assume the MAGATs (including the felon in chief) are smart enough to understand the implied threat/warning.

You think the US is going to attack Canada? Like, with military force? Are you delusional?
Yes. That’s what Europe thought in 1938 and how they were taken so unaware. This is playing out almost step-by-step Europe in the 1930s. Once Trump consolidates his power he’ll realize his “US first” policy will not work and he’ll start looking outwards to expand the US to get control of more resources. Resources Canada is rich in.

I expect everything from a mad man like Trump
Some things require more than just the perceived wishes of a single madman, or the world as we know it would have already been destroyed several times over.
Regardless this useless king won’t protect us from anything not even non military threats
