King To Canada One: Opening Move In Replacing U.S. With The Commonwealth

The King sat on a throne in Ottawa that would have made Trump turn green with envy: newly built just for him, covered in gold. And the speech by Charles III was so dangerous that Trump has forbidden any station in his media collection from covering it.

After all, we can’t have TWO kings in North America!

Ia a subtle opening statement that “Canada has a European alternative”, Charles rode to the Parliament Buildings in an EV - from Mercedes.

Charles is in Canada at the strategic request of PM Carney, who is determined to raise a strong shield against the notion that Canada could ever be a 51^st state.

The move is doubly shrewd, because the King is also the head of the Commonwealth, arguably the most powerful alliance in the world today (more below).

The King’s official function was to formally open the new session of the Canadian Parliament – revived after the defeat of the MAGA-swilling Conservative Party. They have so little class that they didn’t even stand up when the other Parties were introduced. It’s the same losing childish nonsense that cost them the last election.

In his speech, the King laid it out for Donald: Canada has a unique identity, is really good in war, is expanding a strong social program on the premise that a country is only strong when it serves everyone. New programs like mass housing construction and universal dental care will push Canada forward. The nation, in fact, is in a drive to generate enough income to lead the G& nations, with enough military presence to partner in the Rearm Europe program.

He was interrupted by applause when he described the country as “the true north strong and free;” Canada is obviously in a mood to stand up on its own, and even take new strides forward.

Having the King open Parliament was a stroke of genius on behalf of the Prime Minister.

The King is an experienced leader who can give a speech while staying on track - lucid and inspirational. It is something that Americans will look on in fond remembrance.

“When Canadians come together,” the King stated, “they build things that last.” High on that list of things to build, are projects that will deepen ties to the rest of the world.

It is here that Carney, strategist that he is, sees the advantages of switching Canada’s economic focus to the economic colossus called the Commonwealth – an invisible giant in the room, rarely covered by media.

But its GDP is equal to that of the U.S. in purchasing power parity.

The Commonwealth has 56 member countries - up three in the past few years. Any country, BTW, can now apply to be a member, regardless of its past relationship with Britain.

It is populated by 2.7-billion people - fully one-third of the world's population – and includes the country with the highest population, India.

Canada has unique linkage power – not only does it span the Atlantic and Pacific, but also connects with both English and French-speaking worlds; the Commonwealth meets the Francophonie.

It shares a ‘Commonwealth’ version of the English language, and its business and tax laws are modeled on the same usage as its Commonwealth cousins in Australia. A Canadian business can more easily open an office in Brisbane than it can in Boston.

It has the leading “knowledge economies”…Canada itself is the world’s most highly educated nation.

The Commonwealth has 13 of the world’s fastest-growing economies. India has experienced an annual GDP growth rate that has not fallen below six percent in over a decade. In addition, countries such as Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore provide mature advanced markets with an affluent middle class.

Generally, the member Commonwealth countries share the same social philosophy, with Universal Health Care, for example, as a common element. Universal Health Care was started, after all, in Britain just after WW2, when the returning soldiers wanted to come back to a home different than the one they left – a home where everyone helped everyone else.

Not to stress the obvious, but the billions of people in the Commonwealth share English as a common language. They have made English the most-spoken language in the world.

Half of the population of the Commonwealth are under 20 years old – they are entering the workforce and buying new products. Unlike, say, China, which has an aging and declining workforce.

Switching to the Commonwealth would make good sense from a growth perspective; the U.S. is entering a period of economic catastrophe, with deficits that cannot be sustained.

Canada has another advantage that Carney can use: it is a real Commonwealth hub, with 200 countries of birth for its immigrants (three times more than the U.S.).

Altogether, Carney’s walk with the King today is more than an expression of Canadian sovereignty – it is a declaration of Canada’s intent to GROW GLOBALLY, entering the world with a vengeance, to replace the U.S.

It’s the kind of vision that is frightening to Donald Trump – and that’s fine by Canada.

Canada’s special relationship with the U.S. is a relatively recent phenomenon. Not too long ago - prior to WW2 – Canada did more trade with the Commonwealth than with the US. It sold more cars to South Africa, for example, than to America. This whole America-Canada trade relationship is an historic blip.

It certainly will be visible as such when the Commonwealth links grow more evident.

The King has done a remarkable service.

In boosting Canada’s pride, he has at the same time re-charged the engine of Empire – the Commonwealth.

It’s almost as if Canada needed a Donald Trump south of its border, to trigger it to take the next evolutionary step.

Canadians are of course sorry for the sacrifice their American friends have to make…but they are confident that Americans will come through the TrumpSlide eventually.

It’s only a shame that Trump now has a new throne design to dream about. Gold, plush.

If it had golf cart wheels, it would be heaven-on-earth for Donald.

In the meantime, Democrat-oriented planners could start working on a plan to re-shape the U.S. so that it would be fit enough to join the Commonwealth: social programs, shared economic gains, a world outlook…

That could be the Democrat version of the Republican Project 2025. Call it Revolution 2028.

I am sure Canada would back the American application for Commonwealth status.

What are friends for?

(Don’t ask Donald – he doesn’t have any…)

In the meantime: God Save The King!
