  • Canada needs allies now probably more than ever in its history. What we see here coming from the monarchy is not a meaningful gesture of alliance. That’s what I’m bitter about. It’s monarchs doing what monarchs do after they’ve squeezed all the benefit from colonial conquest - they bandy meaningless symbols about. That benefits them, because conveniently, it costs them nothing to ‘stay out of politics’.

    As a Canadian, it’s truly frightening to see world leaders reluctant to simply say the words ‘we stand behind Canada’.

    What does the word ‘Commonwealth’ even mean if the British monarchy can’t say that and mean it.
