Okay sooo like, you’re not even gonna believe what just happened in Canada’s Parliament. Picture this: King Charles III, crown and all (okay, metaphorical crown, but still), straight-up walks into the House of Commons, stands at the throne, and said something that basically meant, “Back off, America.”
Yep. This is not a drill. Like, the actual King of Canada (well the Commonwealth, duh) gave a whole royal speech in Ottawa, and everyone’s like because it came right after Donald Trump made those super cringe comments about annexing Canada. Like what even?
“Wouldn’t it be great if Canada were the 51st state? I think we’d do a tremendous job running it,” Trump said at a rally in Ohio on May 18. Um… excuse you?
So now, Charles is in Canada doing this big symbolic thing — giving the Speech from the Throne to open the 45th Parliament — and it’s only the third time a reigning monarch has done that in Canadian history. And everyone’s like, “Is he doing this to shut Trump down?” And like… duh.
The Royal Clapback. So Charles didn’t explicitly say “Trump, go touch grass,” but like… the vibes were loud.
“Canada is a proud, independent nation within the Commonwealth, with its own Parliament, its own future, and its own voice,” the King said, in that fancy British tone that makes everything sound way more savage.
And then he like, full-on praised Canadian multiculturalism and democracy. Which, let’s be real, is totally the opposite of Trumpy vibes. People in Parliament were shook.
Even Prime Minister Mark Carney — who’s still trying to prove he’s not just a banker in a suit — got all serious and was like:
“Canada’s constitutional monarchy reminds us that our sovereignty is not up for negotiation. Especially not by a foreign power.”
Yaaas Mark, get it.
So like, why is Trump even talking about Canada? Apparently, he’s salty about “losing influence” or whatever and thinks Canada would be better under “real American leadership.” Ew.
Also, some MAGA peeps are, like, totally into this idea?? #AnnexCanada was even trending on Truth Social for like 20 minutes.
But Canadians were like, um, no thanks hun. There were protests in Vancouver and Montreal with signs like “We don’t want your guns, we have healthcare,” and “Maple Syrup Over MAGA.”
Twitter (X?) Has Thoughts. Like, Twitter (or X or whatever Elon’s calling it this week) exploded with drama.
@MapleMami89: “King Charles just said STAY IN YOUR LANE in the classiest way possible. 👏 #ThroneSpeech #NotYourCanada”
@FloridaManDave: “King Charles interfering in U.S. politics is why we LEFT the monarchy. Get bent, Chuck.”
@SaskatoonTea: “Charles delivered that speech like Meghan was watching. Full royal vengeance. #CanadaStrong”
So, Like, What Happens Now? Well, Charles is flying back to London soon, but this moment? ICONIC. Canadians are kinda obsessed right now — his approval ratings went UP, like 14% overnight according to the CBC. Wild.
And like, don’t be surprised if you see Charles’s face on a flag in Toronto next week, honestly. He may have just saved Canada’s whole vibe from becoming a red-capped theme park.
As for Trump? He’s reportedly planning a rally in Buffalo and might “revisit” the Canada comments. Ugh.
Final Thoughts, Babe. Charles came, he saw, he served royal shade. And like, honestly? It was a moment.
Canadians be like: “We’re not your next state, we’re our own thing, thanks. And our head of state just came over and told you politely to back the hell off.”
God Save the King, but also… God Save Canada from becoming Florida North.
Let me know if you want a sassy breakdown of the actual speech or more Trump-Canada drama!
