"However, the new U.S. ambassador to Canada, Pete Hoekstra, said sending messages isn’t necessary and Canadians should move on from the 51st state talk, telling the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation that if there’s a message to be sent there are easier ways to do that, such as calling him or calling the president.” SERIOUSLY?? Calling the Cheeto man that threatened to annex Canada? The Cheeto man that has set up Tariffs against Canada? You can’t take that shit back Hoekstra. FUCK YOU!!
Monarch from one country that says it has claim over another country, says that the second country has sovereignty? What?
Where did they state they have claim over another country?
They are doing in fact the opposite.
Canada is technically a “Constitutional Monarchy” which means ultimately it’s governed under King Charles the III. That’s the part I’m saying is fucked up. A King from another country (UK) has come to Canada (another country) to remind the US of Canada’s “sovereignty”. The monarchy shouldn’t even exist, let alone have claim over a completely independent country.
Man just fuck off. Your opinion means nothing to us.
The comments here please me. Glad we all agree this leech needs to fuck off.
Putin is a bigger leach on the economy, human lives, and the world itself.
Monarchs > dictators
Christ, I don’t have the energy for this one… If we’re going to play the who’s worse game, I see your Putin and raise you US hegemony
Unelected hereditary head of state from halfway around the world visits Canada to “underscore sovereignty” 🤨
TheOnion-ass reality
The previous owner is just coming over to state that they don’t own it anymore.
Nothing wrong about that.
Charles is the king of Canada, and also a bunch of other places.
Kind underscores the lack of it, no?
Huge waste of money on this useless king
Still less than what they generate from tourism alone for existing.
He looks like the fuckin scream mask lmao

The fact that people are still supporting monarchies in 2025 is absolutely goofy. They are outright leaches.

I don’t support monarchs.
But the UK monarch actually brings in more profit for the country through tourism than it costs to have the monarch.
And if they ever use their theoretical power, there will be an uprising and we will set their palace on fire.
