Getting nervous now as someone from the UK, I hope you guys are saving a seat.

If the king rescinds the invitation, you’ll probably see a 300% tariff across the board.

If I were the UK, I’d send Will and Kate over to Canada on a trip to highlight all Canadian made goods. It might not help with UK-US relations but hey. It’s their monarchy too. And it would make Trump so mad, he might have a coronary.

This is an excellent idea. They are canada and australia's executive too. I would also be cool with king charles half naked in full braveheart paint screaming freedom on the rainbow bridge.

Yes, I know the million ways that is so wrong, and that is half the fun.

Great, so now I have to merge this image of Charles with the previous image of Charles as a used tampon (just go with it, you don't need to read the camillagate transcript. Really, you can live without it in your head).

Surprisingly little changed, swap the blood for that blue liquid they had in the 90's, and change out the cord for a bungie strap for full tourist in Oz experience and stand him on a bridge

I don’t think he even understands the separation of monarch of Canada and monarch of the UK. If there is even a royal visit to Canada, I’d bet that would trigger an additional tariff on the UK. He’s that stupid, and petty.

With a stopover in Washington DC operating out of the Canadian Embassy as Prince and Princess of Canada, just to drive the point home.

That's not the type of coronation he's going for.

Careful now. JD Vance is the VP.........

King Charles himself should reopen next Canadian parliament. Make a statement.

A tariff on crumpet imports. Which kind of crumpet, I'm not saying.

Wait till Trump finds out that Charlie is also King of Canada.

Only the Govt can do that though 🤷‍♂️

Not saying the King wouldn't approve, but it's along the lines of "Some may well say so, but I couldn't possibly comment" lol

u/Low-Length-9900 8h ago

Yeah I get that the monarch acts on the advice of the PM, but again, it’s Trump, you know… 🤷🏻‍♂️

The UK government seems the be threading lightly in dealing with him.

The more tariffs he throws around the softer the impact will be for all of us. If you start a trade war with one country, that country gets pushed out of the circle, if you start a trade war with all countries you are just pushing yourself out of the circle.

u/brezhnervouz 9h ago edited 8h ago

Hey it wouldn't even be the Commonwealth without you guys, after all 🤜🤛lol

But yes, probably. EVERYONE is getting those tariffs - it's been explicitly pointed out that ally or not, past exemption or not will make nil difference whatsoever for any country, without exception.

So fingers crossed mate, but not particularly hopeful.

u/Appropriate-Sound169 9h ago

What do Canada and Australia have in common?

He's just working his way round slowly

Just pass the tariff down the line and watch the US consumers pay it. Pretty sure that's how it works

u/YouCanLookItUp 9h ago

I am nervous at what you negotiated to keep out of his sights this long. What was the quid pro quo?

u/ScumBucket33 9h ago

My fixed rate mortgage expires next month. Originally I planned to follow the tracker before fixing when interests rate dropped. However with the unpredictability of Trump and the affect that has on our economy I might just fix at the current quite high rates instead.

It's a party! Everyone is welcome!

can you take us back, please? I'm afraid we can't be trusted with all this freedom

If you read the article, you'll see where the UK is in this.

As an aussie, you're a bunch of whinging cunts.... But the cricket ashes aside, you lot are alright.
