Dozens of First Nations leaders from across the country gathered in front of Parliament Hill Monday with a message for the King as he arrived in the city — respect your treaty partners.
There’s no point in saying technically, he is the King of Canada. That being said the Crown is mostly symbolic like the UK, however symbols can be very powerful. By inviting the King to open Parliament, Carney is symbolically reminding Trump that Canada is much bigger than just one country. Likewise the Chiefs are reminding Canada, specifically Alberta, that the Crown holds the treaties, not Canada.
Basically this is like getting picked on in school then bringing your big brother to lunch. He doesn’t have to do anything, the point is to remind your bullies you have some pretty strong support, and they should think again about continuing to bully you.
MAGATs on both sides of the border were being addressed in King Charle’s speech
We got maple MAGATs that own nothing more than a dot of private land that believe western Canada is their’s to just trade with just a simple referendum but this would interfere with long standing treaties that were signed with First Nations and the crown land of which aren’t just provincially ‘owned’.
There is a reason why Charles mentioned the 3 particular tribes all of which Alberta is entirely lying across. Not one foot of Alberta isn’t native land involved in the treaty. In fact the 3 provinces that are currently the biggest MAGATs supporters are all entirely engulfed in native land that have been involved in long standing treaties.
That’s what that particular announcement mentioning the tribes was all about and why the First Nations were there to make their presence known.
Me thinks the First Nations should want Danielle smith’s head on a platter if she keeps her bullshit up especially now that it’s spoken from the mouth of the king of Canada.
The royals do have power. They rarely swing it. And this hasn’t been done since the 70s. So whether she wants to or not she better be listening with both hands out of her ears on this one. Not often a king comes down from his main throne to address one person in particular in Canada who’s been fucking around. The royals didn’t even do this when Quebec wanted to separate. So this is something.

Yea I got the feeling it was about the MAGATs
Bold of you to assume the MAGATs (including the felon in chief) are smart enough to understand the implied threat/warning.
