Trudeau to bring up Trump's threat to annex Canada in meeting with King Charles

Summary

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will meet with King Charles III to discuss Donald Trump’s threats to annex Canada.

The king has faced criticism for remaining silent, prompting calls for him to reaffirm Canadian sovereignty.

Former Alberta Premier Jason Kenney and experts suggest the Canadian government should formally advise Charles to speak out, though the UK may resist.

Trudeau may also discuss the issue with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The debate raises broader questions about the monarchy’s role in Canada’s political future.

Trump has single handedly turned every nation against the US. Except Russia of course.

The US is acting as if it has been compromised by Russia. We should treat them as such.

I'm sure China is gleefully rubbing their hands, and busy not interrupting their enemy making mistake after mistake.

If anyone has any doubts who this fucker is working for, they're wilfully ignoring the obvious facts.

It seems to come with the corpo hellscape system, you know like, Cyberpunk 2077. Close enough, I guess.

IDK, a Commonwealth alliance, I mean a closer wouldn't be bad for all parties involved.

Just as equal partners this time.

I guess the United States ran out of all their destiny, so they're looking to manifest some more.

It’s too bad the royals and Trump don’t have the privacy of Epstein’s island to hash these things out between their other activities there, whatever those were.

Daniel Béland, a political science professor at McGill University in Montreal, said many Canadians would want a public statement from the king and they might be mad if that doesn’t happen.

None of us care about the king. What's he supposed to do? England has more than enough problems of their own already.

I mean, I'd be happy enough to cede our allegiance as a commonwealth colonial power, as it's kinda gross. But since we still are, we might as well use it to our advantage.

If we can broker some favour and some sort of potential defense pact from the rest of the commonwealth nations against the US's declared hostile intentions, then why not use it to our advantage?

Soft power is still power.

Charles III is the king of Canada, you know, it's his kingdom, he must defend it

Rich people love to cosplay with the fake monarchy. I think its because they themselves wish they had the same dictatorial power they had in the past.
