Re: The king "loves" Canada. Many Albertans want out

"The true north is indeed strong and free." If King Charles's remarks on
Canada's sovereignty sounded familiar, that is because officials in Mark
Carney's new government wrote them. On May 27th the king delivered the
throne speech in his capacity as head of state, opening parliament.
Usually the job of Canada's governor-general, the last monarch to do
this job was his mother, Queen Elizabeth, in 1977. The king was drafted
in to rally Canadians to Mark Carney's banner (Mr Carney's brother runs
the household of Prince William, the king's son and heir), as Canada's
new prime minister settles into his standoff with the pugnacious
president of the United States, Donald Trump.

Those who want out can't agree on where to end up and number in the
thousands.   Maybe they want to join the UK, or maybe they'll end up like
Puerto Rico and Guam, being raped for their resources by the USA with no
right to vote.   At least they'll have no affordable health care and lots and
lots of guns so they can US-style crime rates quick!
