Trump is acting like a king – who wants to rule Canada when it becomes the 51st State. King Charles is doing nothing, something he is extremely good at. Therefore I place a Bohemian crown on the head of Prince Harry. I will show you how this works – in increments! Trump and Musk have proven the majority of Americans – do not want to thing – and want come powerful did to do their thinking for them! If this is the case, we had better find a way of putting the best king – in power!

On this side of the world’s longest undefended border, U.S. President Donald Trump’s repeated comments about Canada becoming the 51st state have led to outright rejections of the idea as a “non-starter,” spontaneous bursts of national pride and dogged determination to “buy Canadian.”

The comments have also prompted a question from some, who wonder about the role of Canada’s head of state as Trump repeatedly casts his eyes and rhetoric northward:

Why hasn’t King Charles said anything about all this?

A Buckingham Palace spokesperson told CBC this would be a matter for the Canadian government, on whose advice the King acts.  

The 1939 royal tour of Canada by King George VI and Queen Elizabeth took place from 17 May to 15 June, covering every province in Canada. Taking place in the months leading up to the Second World War, the tour was undertaken to strengthen trans-Atlantic support for the United Kingdom in anticipation of a potential war while also showcasing Canada’s status as an independent kingdom of the British Empire.

The King and Queen arrived in Canada by ship, and travelled up the St. Lawrence River to Quebec City before heading west by rail. Accompanied throughout by Canadian Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King, they visited most major cities across Canada, reaching as far west as Victoria, British Columbia. On their return journey east, they briefly travelled to the United States for a state visit and a meeting with President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The royal tour concluded with visits to the Maritimes, after which they departed from Halifax for a tour of the then separate Dominion of Newfoundland.
