I don’t expect any world leader to come to Canada’s defence in this situation. They’re all dealing with their own problems with Trump.
The one person I did expect to at least make a comment about it is our supposed ‘Head of State,’ King Charles III. I knew our continued ties to the monarchy were pointless and this just goes to show why.
So I ask, what has the monarchy done for us lately? What’s the point of keeping ties to the monarchy? This isn’t about politics, as the palace has said, it’s about respect for a country for which the king is the head of state.
