RE: https://mastodon.social/@eunews/115842737580067593
Canada needs to be part of this bloc. Stop ‘misunderstanding’ or seeking to appease the US; their intentions have been clear from the start: they intend to take what they want, and they want Canada and Greenland.
They told us this plain as day.

The Americans had a revolution to gain independence from #Britain. #Canada remained a colony until 1867 & continued thereafter as a constitutional monarchy with a British-style parliamentary system.
“We are different & the king illustrates that,” fmr Quebec Premier Jean Charest said. “If you look at why #KingCharles is reading the speech from the throne, then you have to then acknowledge Canada’s story.”

It is rare for the monarch to deliver what’s called the speech from the throne in #Canada. #KingCharles’ mother, Queen Elizabeth II, did it twice in her 70-year reign. The last time was in 1977.
Canadians are largely indifferent to the monarchy, but #Carney has been eager to show the differences between Canada & the #US & he said that the king’s visit clearly underscores the #sovereignty of Canada.

“His Majesty #KingCharles III will read the speech from the throne & thus present the plan of our government, our priorities, as #Canada is facing a pivotal moment in its history, the biggest transformation of the global trading system since the fall of the Berlin Wall,” #Carney told his caucus Sunday.
Carney said “Canada has a steadfast defender in the sovereign” when he announced the visit earlier this month.

#KingCharles III arrives in Ottawa on Monday to underscore #Canada’s #sovereignty to #Trump.
Trump’s repeated suggestion that the US #annex its northern neighbor prompted Prime Minister #MarkCarney to invite Charles to give the speech from the throne that will outline his government’s agenda for the new Parliament. The king is the head of state in Canada, which is a member of the British Commonwealth of former colonies.

During the #Biden admin, the #US military & #NATO had both started to treat #GlobalWarming in the Arctic as a matter of real #military concern. Whether that will continue under #Trump is an open question [is it?]. Even as Trump has tried to erase US-govt action on #ClimateChange, when he talks about #Greenland, he’s tacitly acknowledging that rising temperatures are rapidly changing that part of the world—& US interests there.

Their aim, #JDVance said in a video, is to check up on #Greenland’s security, because *unnamed other countries* could “use its territories & its waterways to threaten the United States.” And these are real concerns for the #UnitedStates, rooted in #ClimateChange: As #PolarIce melts away, superpowers are vying for newly open #ShippingRoutes in the #ArcticOcean & largely unexplored #mineral & #FossilFuel reserves.

The island holds substantial natural resources, including critical #minerals such as rare earths used in high-tech industries, ranging from EVs to missile systems.

"The US will take over the Gaza Strip & we will do a job with it too," Trump said during a joint conference w/ #Israel’s PM Benjamin #Netanyahu last month.
