In response to the recent opinion expressed in The Owen Sound Current about the Canadian Monarchy may I share a few thoughts:

First – our Monarch should not be blamed for inviting Donald Trump to a second State Visit to the UK. The blame should be directed to the British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer who directed the King to issue the invitation. Starmer did this for purely political (short-sighted) reasons and the King had no choice but to comply.

Second – right now Canada is fighting to maintain its sovereignty, its values , its heritage. If we tear up our roots as a nation and throw them away we are doomed and then Canada will be easy pickings for Donald Trump to take us over – because we won’t have any roots, stability to fall back on.

Third - let’s reflect on the values of Canada’s heroic veterans who went overseas during the First and Second World Wars – after they swore oaths of allegiance to the King – many of them went to their deaths months / years before the USA even entered the Wars. That is something which Canadians should value very highly – do we want to throw that away ?
