🇨🇦 Shout out to the Canadians who have been emailling the Royal Watch newsletter at the BBC about King Charles! 🇨🇦

"But there is no avoiding the tensions and contradictions in this balancing act. Emails from Canadians to the BBC's Royal Watch newsletter show that many want a much more robust defence from the King.

"What a cop out! Throw Canada to the wolves. Giving us back pats for our flag's anniversary doesn't quite cut it. Here sits a monarchist who is seriously rethinking his allegiance to the crown!" emailed Brian, a Canadian military veteran.

Carol in Vancouver was unhappy at the invitation from the UK for a second state visit by President Trump.
"I feel ashamed for the Brits feeling they have to follow through with inviting such a boor for dinner. For the life of me I do not understand why he has this power over you," she wrote.

"As a Canadian, the invitation is a slap in the face to the people of Canada. If the King is our King (as we are a Commonwealth country), and Trump is basically at war with us, how dare King Charles give him any credence?" emailed Patricia.

"As a Canadian I am saddened, appalled, disgusted and angry that King Charles appears to be joining the conga line of supplicants," said Jo-Ann in Ontario.

But King Charles will have to keep to the line set by ministers, and if that means maintaining good relations with Trump, he is unlikely to be saying anything more outspoken.”

@cbcnews Your headline: “Should Canada turn the other cheek?” is so offensive that words fail me. We are not ever contemplating “turning the other cheek”. We are promoting #BuyCanadian, we are building new trade agreements, we are loudly proclaiming our Canadian pride and posting #ElbowsUp. You should be reinforcing this rather than trying to play devil’s advocate. There is no negotiating with evil, no pacifying a bully. #ShameOnYou. #FourthEstateFilth cbc.ca/news/canada/tariffs-ret

CBCSome countries aren't retaliating against Trump's tariffs. Should Canada 'turn the other cheek'? | CBC NewsFaced with tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, some countries have decided, so far, to respond by turning the other cheek, and not retaliate with their own duties.

HBC was started in 1670. Its downfall was accelerated after it was bought out by an American businessman and then an American equity company.

Another Canadian business was ruined by Americans. Why do we let this happen over and over?

As we push for #BuyCanadian, we must show disagreement for our most successful businesses getting acquired by capitalists from foreign countries.

CBCHudson's Bay Company nearly $1B in debt, with court filings painting dire financial portrait | CBC NewsHudson's Bay Company is nearly a billion dollars in debt, according to court filings that paint a dire portrait of the struggling Canadian department store chain's finances. 

We really need to save #Canada from those Canadian media channels and companies owned by Americans.

It is not because they are conservative-leaning. They are low-key normalizing those attacks against Canada and undermining our responses.
