Canada's Carney Thinks He Has a Secret Weapon to Stop the '51st State' Talk, but It Shows Trump Was Right
Share this @internewscast.com

It seems one country’s newly elected prime minister is taking a new tactic in an attempt to combat one of President Trump’s favorite narratives. 

Many readers probably caught the video clip of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney during his recent visit to the White House, visibly uncomfortable as Trump persistently jabbed him about the numerous perks Canada would supposedly enjoy as the 51st state of the U.S. And that final comment from Trump—just superb. If you missed it, here’s a recap.

I wouldn’t be shocked if the continual commentary from the president, even when Justin Trudeau was in office, functioned similarly to a baseball fan’s “Hey Batter…” chant, aiming to distract and occasionally unsettle the new Canadian leader.

However, the suggestion that the U.S. might annex our allies to the north of the 49th parallel appears to have truly bothered him. A news piece on Saturday corresponds with this ongoing exchange of words with Donald Trump.

“That clearly underscores the sovereignty of our country,” Carney said on May 2 during his first press conference after being elected. “This historic honor matches the weight of our times.”

This is even more hilarious than you might think. Give me a minute to set up the explanation.

Carney has invited King Charles to make an address to open the new session of Parliament in late May. And at first, the story on the monarch’s visit made it sound like he would be delivering a “message” to Donald Trump that Canada will never become the 51st state as part of his speech. 

In its story linked above, the NY Post explained that Carney is, in a way, calling in a friendly favor:

The king and the prime minister “became good friends” during Carney’s time as governor of the Bank of England from 2013 to 2020, royal historian Carolyn Harris told The Post.

A couple of noteworthy points here: This will be the first time a monarch has made a speech like this since 1857. And to bolster the tough guy stance Carney is trying to project against a big-dog country like the United States, Justin Vovk, a royal historian with McMaster University in Ontario, told the publication that not only does Trump admire the British royals and King Charles in particular, but their relationship will “provide the prime minister with an additional tool in negotiating with the president.”  He continued with the key part: “This is not something that Justin Trudeau ever did.”

In other words, Carney is adamant that the monarch can convince Trump to leave off the chatter on joining the U.S.

There’s just one problem: The British monarchy has a rule about never talking about politics. Not even kidding. So, how is Charles going to stand up for the commonwealth country? It will be purely symbolic:

The support and solidarity Carney and Canadian politicos are depending on from the former Prince of Wales will be signaled by things like the king wearing a red tie (the color in Canada’s flag), or the Queen wearing a maple leaf brooch set with dazzling diamonds that belonged to Queen Elizabeth II. 

I told you it was ridiculous. All this does is show Pres. Trump was right, when he talked before the Canadian election about Carney being the weaker individual for the U.S. to negotiate trade talks with. Now that I think about it, add that to the list of reasons the prime minister is sore about the subject of Trump. Pop some popcorn!
