The article can’t seem to decide whether it’s a report on:
1. the symbolism of the monarch’s visit
2. the content and implications of the speech
3. or Canada’s relationship with the U.S.
These themes are each interesting but need clearer framing and better integration. Pick a consistent structure: either narrative or Q&A, not both.
1. Ensure accuracy of names and titles (e.g., the actual Prime Minister).
2. Smooth out transitions between topics to improve flow.
3. Remove or properly contextualize controversial or speculative claims (like the Trump statement).
4. Reorganize with a clearer thesis or central theme (e.g., "What the King's visit says about Canada's identity and direction")
5. I'm still missing the point of having the Monarch essentially read a speech that was written by someone else and that he can't deviate from - is there a point?
Scots WhaHae
“KING Charles III”— the SOVEREIGN of Canada — “stresses self-determination.”Charles’ ceremonial authority makes him Canada’s HEAD of state. He insisted that Canada - member of the BRITISH Commonwealth — now faced a critical moment and said its democracy, values, and spirit of SELF-determination must be protected.”
LOL… I love it when colonial kings wield their authority to tell their subjects to protect their precious self-determination. “You can’t be the 51st state bc you belong to GB.”
The Canadian people have made it clear they don’t want to become a US state. (This doesn’t surprise me, as it fits the Canadians I know-who love the US and its people but are proud of their Canadian citizenship.)
I think King Charles is more a figurehead than a ruler for nations in the Commonwealth. Regardless, in this particular case, he is not dictating to Canadians what they should do against their will. He is defending their right to remain a separate nation vs being forced to become part of the US against their will.
I know NS. But the language is ironic. As is your defense of King Charles that “He is defending their right to remain a separate nation vs being forced to become part of the US against their will.”
Which is it… is Canada a “separate nation” w/ “self-determination” or part of the king’s “commonwealth”?
Is Charlie defending Oh-Canada’s status as a “separate nation” or staking a claim to Canada for “his kingdom” vs the imperialist Trump?
Is Canada free in “self-determination” or under the dictates of “the commonwealth”?
How figurative would the king’s “figurehead” authority be if Canada announced cutting ties w/ “the commonwealth”?
I’m over here having a little fun w/ words, while you’re over there thinking Canada is actually under duress about “being forced to become part of the US against their will.” Really? NEVER EVER gonna happen.
You’re being forced to become part of the US paranoid party. Don’t go there. Resist. Relax. Rhetoric. Laugh a little.
I appreciate your concern about my emotional wellbeing, Scots; but I’m not being “forced” to be part of anything. I can form my own conclusions.
Re your questions (though I’m not sure if they are ironic or not): I’m sure you can find out how the Commonwealth works as well or better than I can. I obviously can’t know the motives of King Charles re Canada (or anything else) and have no desire to waste time trying to figure them out because whatever degree of separation Canada has or doesn’t have from the king and the Commonwealth is their affair-not mine. Besides, I wasn’t referring to their separation from the Commonwealth…but from the US.
However…what the leaders of MY country say about Canada (as mentioned in the article)-and how those words affect our country’s relationship with our long term friends and allies-IS my concern.
Sorry NS… You can’t draw the conclusion on your own that Canada is “being forced to become part of the US against their will” — Bc it’s pure myth. The only reason you would think such a preposterous thing is bc MSM planted that little piece of propaganda in the air and forced it on you — drip by drip, day by day — until you believed it. No matter what words the leaders of our country say… no matter how those words affect our relationship w/ our long-term friends… Canada will never ever be forced to become part of the US against their will. There’s not enough Trump triggering in the World and everything in it to make that come to pass.
And article only says “Trump repeatedly URGED Canada to be 51st state.” No “being forced” anywhere in the font. See how you took it there w/o warrant, so swiftly. I would urge you to put all your well-intended concern in context of reality. Otherwise just wasting time spinning wheels like this.
I’m relieved to hear that Canada will not be forced to become part of the US, Scots. The reason it concerned me and many others (including Canadians) was not because of the media. It was because of comments by President Trump.
Trump is the president, Scots. I listen to what he says.
Glad to relieve you of what never was.
If Trump said he was going to force Canada to be the 51st date I missed it. Pls send.
If Trump ever says he’s going to force Canada to 51st state then he’s stirring the pot to shake things up. Not gonna happen.
Listening to Trump is an art bc he’s doing his art of the deal… so if you don’t learn how to listen for the art, you’ll be taken aback every day & going down rabbit trails that weren’t intended for you.
Yes, you are hearing Trump‘s words, but you are hearing them through the media lens making you feel “concerned” Trump is going to force Canada to be 51st… so reconsider what you’re hearing Trump say and how you’re hearing him say it. Try my lens. There’s light at the end of the tunnel.
Scots, I know what the media is like. Liberal media spins things one way, conservative media spins them another. I take all that with a grain of salt.
I do listen to what the president actually says and I pay attention to what he does. But…I can find peace whatever happens because my ultimate trust is in the Lord.

Will you agree to agree w/ me… just once?
