Nah, Canada existed before the UK and France showed up.
No, north america existed before the uk and france showed up. Canada didn't even exist AFTER they showed up. That would be created much later. You understand the difference between a sovereign nation and a landmass right?
French first of all, then the Brits showed. Or the Vikings if you want to go really far back...
No, that would be the discovery of the landmass - "Canada" owes its existence to Britain. It wasn't the french who stepped in when the yanks invaded, leading to the first confederation signing.
How can you be. You didn't even know what "canada" was.

Andrew colluded with Di and Fergie to keep Charles off throne: Book
Author of the article:Jane Stevenson
Publishing date:Sep 22, 2022 • 2 days ago • 1 minute read • 5 Comments

Scandal-plagued Prince Andrew doesn’t come out looking very good in Angela Levin’s new book on Camilla, now Queen Consort to husband King Charles III, according to the Daily Mail.


Levin’s book, which has been serialized in the Telegraph, quotes a senior advisor as saying Andrew secretly plotted with Charles’ first wife, Princess Diana, and Andrew’s ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, to stop Charles from becoming King.


Instead, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall: From Outcast to Queen Consort, alleges Andrew wanted Prince William to become King with him as Regent if the Queen died before William was 18.

The book also claims Andrew “lobbied” the Queen against the Charles-Camilla union saying she wasn’t aristocratic enough and not trustworthy.

“His behaviour was very, very negative and extremely unpleasant to Queen (Elizabeth), who disagreed. I was told it was one of the rare occasions he didn’t get his way,” said the insider in the book.


“Nonetheless, he was apparently very angry that he couldn’t rule the country in some way. He remained so hostile to Camilla’s emergence and acceptance that it’s doubtful it has ever been forgiven.”



The Daily Mail online reached out to both Buckingham Palace and Duke of York representatives for comment.

The relationship between Charles and Andrew has reportedly been strained over the years and got even worse when the latter’s ties to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein came to be known.

Charles was said to be instrumental in Buckingham Palace’s decision in January to strip Andrew of his military titles and patronages, and make him defend himself as a private citizen against sexual abuse charges brought by Virginia Giuffre.

Meh. whatever - they can keep the drama, the king or queen should be a symbol for the countries and really that's it. The rest doesn't interest me in the slightest. If i want that kind of drama i'll rewatch game of thrones. Way more entertaining.

King Charles III: New royal cypher revealed​

By Sean Coughlan
Royal correspondent
BBC News

Charles cypher

The cypher will first be used to frank letters sent from Buckingham Palace

The cypher of King Charles III has been revealed, showing an image to be used by government departments and on state documents and post boxes.


It was personally chosen by the King, from a range of designs produced by the College of Arms.

The monogram combines his initial "C" and "R" for Rex, the Latin for king, plus III for the third King Charles.

The cypher, a visual identity for the new reign, replaces the E II R of Queen Elizabeth II.

As the period of royal mourning ends, the new cypher of King Charles will be used for the first time.

Scotland cypher

There is a Scottish version of the cypher to be used by King Charles III

Its first application will be in the Buckingham Palace post room on Tuesday, with the cypher used to frank letters from the Royal Households.

There is a separate version of the cypher for Scotland, which features the Scottish Crown.

But there won't be a sudden change on post boxes or on public buildings.

There are still post boxes in use from the reign of Queen Victoria, Edward VII, George V and VI, and the original cyphers remain until boxes need to be replaced.

Almost 70,000 of the current post boxes, about 60% of the total, date from the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. There are only about 170 surviving from the short reign of Edward VIII, who abdicated in 1936.

Boxes already under construction or ready for installation will continue to have the late Queen's cypher, Royal Mail says.

Where royal cyphers appear on buildings, it will be up to individual organisations to decide when or if they will be updated.

Yeah. All the woke set say that, because it's an inconvenient truth for them. Of course, it's clearly not true.

Woke? It's got nothing to do with Woke, laddybuck.

Canada existed before the Brits and French showed, it just wasn't called Canada. That's truth.

As I say: That's what all the woke set say when faced with that inconvenient truth. But it IS the truth. Just because you don't like that fact doesn't mean you can just deny it and that history will change.

Canada and the United States and many other countries owe their existence to the British Empire. Instead of attacking the British Empire you need to start showing it some gratitude.

No, that's literally not true. Canada is a nation. Canada did not exist before the creation of that nation. And it IS something the woke profess for various reasons.

Canada first came into existance in 1867. It is a lie to pretend otherwise. Canada did NOT exsist prior to the creation of Canada. That's what "creation" means.

I swear, some times the left tries to convince itself that Right = left, left=right and black=white and they'll get themselves killed at the next zebra crossing.

If anything, Canada owes itself to France first, or perhaps the Vikings, not necessarily the Brits.

Canada owes its existence to the brits. It does not owe it to France at all, and it certainly doesn't owe it to the vikings who all died. Like - at least france had SOME sort of relevance but why you would think the nation of Canada owed its existence to a small village of people who all passed away centuries before Canada was created is beyond me entirely.

Canada exists because of England. Plain and simple. No England, no Canada. If Canada had never been born then i'm sure something else would be here now (maybe just be part of the US) but Canada for all her wonder and glory is here because of England, and it's silly to pretend otherwise.

Vikings. Yeash.

Prince George warned classmates they 'better watch out' as his dad will one day be king

Prince George is said to have warned his classmates they “better watch out” as his dad will one day be king.


A book on the royal family says the cheeky remark was made by the nine-year-old when he “sparred” with other pupils.


Author Katie Nicholl said about the eldest son of parents-of-three the Prince and Princess of Wales in her new tome The New Royals: “George understands he will one day be king and as a little boy sparred with friends at school, outdoing his peers with the killer line. ‘My dad will be king so you better watch out.'”

Katie added George was being raised alongside his sister Princess Charlotte, seven, and Prince Louis, four, to have a “sense of duty.”

She said about his parents: “They are raising their children, particularly Prince George, with an awareness of who he is and the role he will inherit, but they are keen not to weigh them down with a sense of duty.


Katie also said Princess Catherine, 40, admires the way Prince Edward and the Countess of Wessex – who share children Lady Louise Windsor, 18, and James, Viscount Severn, 14, who grew up without HRH titles and out of the public eye – managed to give their children as quiet an upbringing as possible despite their privileged positions.

The story of Prince George comes after royal writer Robert Lacey told how Prince William, 40, and Catherine told George about his future as a king of England “around his seventh birthday” as they wanted to hold off discussing his upcoming life of “service and duty” so he could have a normal childhood.

He said: “William has not revealed to the world how and when he broke the big news to his son.

“Maybe one day George will tell us the story himself. But sometime around the boy’s seventh birthday in the summer of 2020 it is thought that his parents went into more detail about what the little prince’s life of future royal ‘service and duty’ would particularly involve.

“William’s aim as a father, the prince stressed, was to give his son ‘a normal family upbringing,’ enabling the monarchy ‘to stay relevant and keep up with modern times.'”

He should have warned his classmates that they had better watch out because one day HE will be king.

(King George VII, unless he uses one of his two middle names).

Royal Mint unveils King's coin effigy

3408.jpg


The Royal Mint - the UK's oldest company, which is based in Llantrisant, Rhondda Cynon Taf - has unveiled the portrait of King Charles III that will soon start appearing on the country's coins.

Elizabeth II faces to the right on coins but her son will face to the left, as it alternates between monarchs.

The new coins featuring the King's head will appear in December.

The King is not depicted wearing a crown. This is not unusual, however. Previous kings were not depicted wearing crowns on coins. It was unusual with Elizabeth II.

She had a much smaller head and much smaller ears. There was room for a crown with her.
