King Charles just told Canada to stand strong against foreign influence. But coming from a British monarch? That’s rich. The king’s speech in Ottawa lectured Canadians about self-reliance while he represents a thousand-year-old foreign crown. Conservatives are calling this pure hypocrisy.
Ben Shapiro blasted the tone-deaf moment. “Since when do unelected royals preach about sovereignty?” he asked. The Daily Wire host noted Canada’s energy sector has been kneecapped by climate policies pushed by global elites. Now foreign royalty wants credit for “independence”?
The king’s visit coincided with Prime Minister Mark Carney reopening border talks with the U.S. Insiders say Carney’s using royal pageantry to soften Trump’s demands for fair trade. Conservatives see a weak leader hiding behind a monarch’s coattails instead of fighting for Canadian workers.
Shapiro recently praised Alberta Premier Danielle Smith for standing up to federal overreach. “Real leadership doesn’t need a king’s permission,” he said. Alberta’s push for energy independence contrasts with Ottawa’s obedience to UN climate goals. Patriots know which approach works.
Charles’ speech claimed Canada doesn’t need foreign powers. But his own family lives off taxpayer-funded palaces and private jets. Meanwhile, hardworking Canadians face carbon taxes that line bureaucrats’ pockets. The monarchy’s luxury lifestyle depends on the very foreign subsidies Charles pretends to scorn.
Trump supporters see this as globalism in royal robes. The former president has long criticized NATO freeloaders and trade exploiters. King Charles is now doing the globalists’ bidding by shielding Canada from American accountability. Patriots want allies who pull their weight, not moochers in tiaras.
Mainstream media fawned over the king’s “wise words.” But real Americans remember how royals mocked Trump’s America First agenda. Now they’re copying his playbook? Conservatives aren’t fooled. This is about protecting Canadian elites, not everyday people.
True sovereignty starts at home. Let Canada drill its oil, build pipelines, and drop the carbon taxes. Until then, no amount of royal speeches will hide the weakness. As Shapiro says, “You don’t need a crown to have courage – you need common sense.”
