Hm, wonder why they didn't go along with the "No Kings" tagline.
Ol' Charles visited us in May. He's our King of Canada but he's kind of mid.
We should bring the Queen back. She was a laugh.
They're all worse than mid.
I know you are pointing out the irony.
However, the US associates kings with tyrants as that was the basis for the US revolution but Canada does not.
Canadians do not learn about a point in Canadian history where the tyranny of the throne was a problem. In modern times, the monarchy has mostly been viewed favourably. In the fight against modern tyrants (eg. Donald Trump), the English crown is seen as an ally. Canada invites the King to speak on behalf of the Canadian government (throne speech).
So Canada has no problem with kings. Canada takes issue with tyranny though. So there is no “dissonance” as your other comment implies.
In the US, King George III is remembered as a tyrant that the US successfully defeated and declared independence from in 1776.
When Canadians think of the same period in history (the reign of King George III), they think “that is when we successfully fought off the Americans and burned down the White House.”
Those are two pretty different perspectives.
Ironically, the modern US is mostly positive about the Brittish monarchy. Princess Diana was loved in the US. President Trump is a big fan of Ling Charles.
Mhmhmhmhmhm, what about inidgenous peoples who suffer genocide under British rule? Every British monarch is the inheritor of brutal, genocidal colonialism.
I wish you knew how funny it is to confidently misexplain history to me. Won't be paying attention to you again.
Because Canada does have a special version of a king. This mod from king to tyrant should be expected.
Yes. I am making fun of the dissonance in that.
No Gods or Kings. Only man.
I’d like to see the venn diagram of no tyrants and the kkklownvoy
