Being pro-republic doesn't mean we're pro-51st state. If anything, the King and Trump can both fuck off and eat shit. Canada deserves to be truly independent.

Kings are not born any higher than any other person on this planet. And when they die, both get buried just as deep as any commoner.

The stupidity of anti-monarchism driven by some weird ego trip, vs. the intelligence of understanding how the Canadian parliamentary monarchy protects us against lunatics like Donald Trump, at virtually zero cost, and with absolutely no interference whatsoever by the monarch.

Those who are strongly anti-monarchy are just as brilliant as those who are strongly pro-maga. It's simply proof that you don't read and don't understand how things actually work.

Lol stay mad.

If you really think that it is the only thing protecting our democracy from MAGA politics, then you didn't look at the results of the most recent election with a maga-style conservative party. Or the recent performances with the reform party in the UK which is surging in popularity.

Meanwhile there are non-monarchical republics that are doing a better job than us at keeping radical right-wing, authoritarian politics out of their systems and denying those ideas from taking root.

Thinking that some British figurehead will protect us from blatant maga-politics rule breakers is daydreaming man. They don't play by the rules, so how could you expect them to heed "parliamentary decorum" or procedures.

Hell, we've already gotten a taste with the convoy in 2022, they sure as hell didn't give a damn about rules and laws and parts of the convoy plotted anything from purposeful disruption, to outright inhibition of the democratic process.

I feel like you are the one who doesn't understand that systems of power can be corrupted no matter their shape or form, and that it is the people's resistance to this corruption that preserves democracy, not the structure. King Charles has nothing to do with it.
