WTAF?!!!

ADDED: Disclaimer. My WTAF is genuine. I have NO idea if this is tabloid BS or if there's any truth to it. I'm tempted to delete

"...media outlet reported that King Charles intends to extend an offer for US to join the Commonwealth of Nations.

The King is reportedly preparing to extend the offer of “associate membership” in the voluntary association of 56 nations, most of which have history as former British colonies. #Trump, it seems, is open to the idea." independent.co.uk/news/world/a

@GottaLaff

I have no idea if this is true, either.

But as a Canadian, if Charles III even extends the invitation to the USA, regardless of whether they take it, Canada *must* immediately withdraw from the commonwealth, do the impossible and modify our constitution to remove the monarchy as our head of state, and drop every Royal from our currency and the titles of every government job, facility, or process.

There is *no* room in which both the current USA and Canada belong together, and if the UK wants to choose the USA, then we know when we're not wanted.

@cazabon @GottaLaff I get the feeling, but I don't agree with the strategy. "Canada Alone" is a losing strategy. The US is an unreliable partner, and we need to look elsewhere for more reliable allies. Regardless, decoupling our economy is going to take time, effort and investment. Burning our friends like this is what happens in high school movies. Let Chaz 3 KoC attempt to smooth Drumpfs ego, take what we can get, but keep working to de-risk.
