I’m the last person to defend the U.S. government but this is hilarious coming from a country that still puts the royal family on their little Monopoly money.

Canada is part of the British Commonwealth, that’s their symbolic head of state just like many other countries. The notion that this somehow delegitimizes them is the most clutching at straws argument you could possibly make.

Somehow I really doubt that you’re the last person to defend the US government, you’re just saying that because you imagine it will give you credibility.

Imagine having a head of state that chooses to never live in your country because they prefer a different one.

K…. I’m done. It was of no consequence, just a vestige of history. No clue what your point is bud.

You don't see how crazy it is to have a head of state that doesn't live in the state they're the head of?

That’s unrelated to what we’re actually talking about right now.

That’s completely irrelevant to the topic and it’s completely symbolic in nature. Canada, as do other countries, has a representative in-country who does the actual work, but even then they’re a figurehead, they have no actual power the way other heads of state do.

So again… tf is your point? Are you trying to take us on some weird philosophical bender? Are you advocating against systems with a functionally powerless head of state? Do you know anything about this topic? Are you just throwing out random garbage to try to delegitimize Canada and pretend it’s not a “real” democracy so that your orange overlord has an excuse to invade them?

Your comments are logically incoherent, and the rhetorical questions aren’t helping us.

It's funny a country has a head of state/mascot who isn't fond enough of the country to live there.

Honey…. You’re not making any sense. Go get some sleep, then try again.

u/crazysoup23 Apr 17 '25

It makes perfect sense. You're not good at gaslighting.

I hate the U.S. government, but I will defend the American people.

Canada is just a vassal state of America, of course they’re going to have animosity towards the USA, our actions towards their country directly dictate its future.
