How Might The King Reply to Trump's Provocations?

1/28/2025

King Charles III, King of Canada

Donald Trump has made repeated
statements in recent months about
the desirability of Canada becoming
a state in that most disreputable of
republics. This is besides Trump's
threats to impose eye-watering 25%
tariffs on all Canadian exports.
These threats have led to a degree of
unity across political and social lines
rarely seen in Canada. The prime
minister has called for help from
political leaders at both the federal
and provincial level to oppose two existential threats. The
prime minister has also called on Canada's First Nations for assistance (it is interesting how the more historical
circumstances change, the more they stays the same).

With this show of Canadian unanimity it has been noted that
the King has not yet weighed in on what are essentially
threats to his Canadian realm. Now, there are very good
reasons for why this might be the case. This is after all a
political issue which the Crown tends not to weigh in on
unless asked. Whether Justin Trudeau has asked the King is
not knowable at the present time. Given Trudeau's at times
uneven support for the Crown there is reason to believe
he hasn't. But this is all rather immaterial to the question
posed in the title of this article. If King Charles III were going
to join the 'Team Canada' effort against Trump what is the
best way for him to do so?

1. Issue a Statement

This is perhaps the closest to 'normal procedure' we are going
to get on this list. The King adds his voice to the chorus of
Canadians who are dead-set against what Trump is planning.
However, it also makes His Majesty's voice just one among
many and while it would be good to see, and would generate
some headlines, I don't feel its the kind of thing that would
have much effect. The Crown traditionally uses such releases
to either express solidarity with Canadians going through
hardships or to congratulate a person or organization on some
achievement. The closest example to this sort of intervention
is one that did not even occur: During the last Quebec
Succession referendum a Quebec radio host managed to make
it through the Palace switchboards to talk to Queen Elizabeth
II. During this impromptu conversation the radio host
(masquerading as Prime Minister Chretien) asked if the
Queen might issue a statement in favour of Quebec remaining
in Canada. The Queen agreed to this. This just underlines that
the monarch is willing to intervene but his or her elected
government needs to want them to.

2. Give Trump a Private Talking-to

Perhaps the King, wishing to be more discrete, pulls Trump
aside at some international meeting and has a private chat.
This has some precedence. During Trump's 2019 state visit to
the United Kingdom the then-Prince Charles turned a 15
minute chat into a 90 minute discussion on climate
change. It is easy to imagine the King being able to arrange
such a meeting. However, much like being lectured for 90
minutes didn't sway Trump to climate change I have my
doubts a talking-to on Canadian sovereignty would do much
better - regardless of Trump's seeming affection for the
Royals.

3. A Royal Tour

Perhaps the King need not speak directly at all. A royal tour of
Canada underlines the King's support for Canada without
saying as much. There would also be plenty of times where the
King could obliquely reference Trump's threats. For instance,
visiting War of 1812 battle sites or visiting military bases (perhaps all of them). The main issue with this idea is lead-
time (of which we have none). Which brings us to...

4. Opening Parliament

A working visit is a bit easier to organize and in this case
would comprise of opening Parliament after the coming
election. Queen Elizabeth II opened Parliament twice in 1957
and 1977 which might indicate its a bit easier to pull off short
notice. In this instance you'd definitely want to pull out all the
stops in an effort to basically awe Trump with majesty. A
footnote to this is that the styling 'My government' when
reading the Speech from the Throne has fallen out of favour in recent years. This would be the time to bring it back.

Final Remarks

The Crown has an important role to play in confronting
Trump's provocations but the Crown always takes pains not
to over-step into the realm of politics uninvited. So, if the
Crown is going to join the anti-Trump effort, the government
is going to need to ask for its assistance.

Reflections on the First Official Portrait of King Charles III

8/31/2024

Back in June the, much delayed, official portrait of the king
was unveiled. At the time I was quite busy organizing an event
in my local community and didn't really have time to address
it.

Like many official portraits its merely okay. Its a portrait of
the King wearing the medals of Canada's honours system. It
fulfills the basic criteria of an official portrait. And if you want
your very own copy the Department of Canadian Heritage
has you covered.

But His Majesty has better depictions, many from before he
assumed the throne:

Ralph Heimans, 2018

This portrait which marked Charles' 70th birthday, when he
was still the Prince of Wales, is great in so many ways. It
captures his dual love of nature and architecture. It conveys
motion by avoiding a full frontal view. And it uses a colour
palette that is neither so dark as to be dingy nor so light as to
wash out its subject which is what I argue the official portrait
does. This painting also happens to beat out the King's official
portrait in the UK which is best left unremarked on further.

His Majesty has also had better photos taken of him:

Why is this an issue? Well, for starters I think if better is
possible, better is what you aim for. Secondly, the King is a
representative of Canada and if his picture is completely
indistinguishable from that of every other man in a suit its an
image problem. Thirdly, and related to the second point, the
King is not just another politician; his portrait should reflect
that.

Indeed, if a person was unfamiliar with King Charles III and
you told them it was a portrait of President Charles they
would have no reason to doubt you.

As to who is at fault for this I can't say. The Australian portrait
has a similar issue so perhaps it was the King who felt a
restrained approach was best. Perhaps, the Canadian and
Australian government wanted a toned down image. And it
could just be that everything was rushed and there was little
time on anyone's part as to what an official portrait should be.

The Heiman's portrait above comes closest to what royal
portraits used to be; conveyers of meaning as well as likeness.
It would not hurt to get back to that tradition.

The King's Cancer Announcement and Responses

2/9/2024

The announcement that the King
had cancer was surprising for a
number of reasons. For starters,
the fact the Royal Family was even
forthcoming about the surgery
that resulted in its discovery is a
change in policy from how these
matters are usually handled. That
the cancer diagnosis was then
announced even more so. Clearly,
the King feels he should be more
open about his health than his
mother was. There have been several attempts at armchair
diagnoses with people wondering if this means King Charles'
reign will be far shorter than anyone imagined. Such thinking
can go both ways; releasing the information may be a way of
easing the public into the idea he might die soon. On the other
hand, the fact this cancer was discovered seemingly by
accident before it had manifested any symptoms can be seen
as good news (the only thing known about it currently is it is
not prostate cancer). And, of course, given the pernicious
nature of cancer its possible both are equally true.

Responses from Canadians

Governor General Mary Simon released the following
statement of February 5th:

"My husband, Whit, and I join with all Canadians in sending our best wishes to His
Majesty The King as he begins cancer treatment.

His Majesty has always led with passion and he has always endeavoured to inspire
others to create a better world. Today, with this news, he once again is leading by
example. So many Canadians are going through this battle. Two out of every five
Canadians will be diagnosed with a type of cancer in their lifetime. Seeing His
Majesty acknowledge cancer so openly and publicly will hopefully encourage and
motivate those who are struggling with their own treatment. We admire The King’s
strength and determination as he confronts this disease.

To His Majesty and to the entire Royal Family, our thoughts are with you today
and always."

The Lieutenant Governor of Ontario made the following post
on Facebook:

A CHAIN OF PRAYER
The Anglican Lord Bishop of Ontario, whose See City is Kingston, composed the
prayer below, which we commend to all Christians to forward to their rector,
minister, or pastor for use in worship, as well as to use in their own supplications.

As well as a French translation, we have also taken the Liberty of providing a
slightly-amended version which could be used by people of non-Christian faiths.

In our diverse country, over 60% tell pollsters they believe in God, with roughly
another 15% saying they are unsure, and about 25% being non-believers in a Deity.

In that spirit, would it not be a wonderful thing for the believers reading this
EComm to forward it to family, friends and colleagues throughout the land, as well
as post it on their favorite social media platforms, so forming a chain of prayer,
love and concern.

As in all things outside our remit, we simply repeat the timeless advice: all may,
some should, none must.

PRAYERS FOR HIS MAJESTY
IN LIGHT OF RECENT ILLNESS

CHRISTIAN VERSION
Almighty God, and healer of all our infirmities, from whom all sovereignty takes its
pattern, we pray for the good health and recovery of our gracious Sovereign King
Charles III. Give him strength of body and spirit to continue in service to his
people. Grant wisdom and skill to all those who treat him, and patience, peace and
a glad heart to the Queen as she supports The King in his work and recovery. Grant
that, restored to health, he may yet serve all the peoples of this land and the whole
Commonwealth, and follow the way of the Saviour, Jesus Christ our Lord, who
with the Holy Spirit remains ever one God, world without end. AMEN

SUGGESTED FOR ALL FAITHS
Almighty God, and healer of all our infirmities, from whom all sovereignty takes its
pattern, we pray for the good health and recovery of our gracious Sovereign King
Charles III. Give him strength of body and spirit to continue in service to his
people. Grant wisdom and skill to all those who treat him, and patience, peace and
a glad heart to the Queen as she supports The King in his work and recovery. Grant
that, restored to health, he may yet serve all the peoples of this land and the whole

PRIÈRE : VERSION CHRÉTIENNE
Dieu tout-puissant et guérisseur de toutes nos infirmités, de qui toute souveraineté

pour continuer à servir son peuple. Accordez la sagesse et la compétence à tous
ceux qui le soignent, ainsi que la patience, la paix et un cœur joyeux à la Reine qui
soutient le Roi dans son travail et son rétablissement. Faites que, rétabli, il puisse
encore servir tous les peuples de ce pays et du Commonwealth tout entier, et suivre
la voie du Sauveur, Jésus-Christ notre Seigneur, qui, avec le Saint-Esprit, reste
toujours un seul Dieu, dans le monde entier. AMEN

PRIÈRE: SUGGÉRÉE POUR TOUTES LES RELIGIONS

ainsi le chemin du Dieu qui nous aime tous. AMEN

The Chairman of the Monarchist League of Canada has also
put out a statement;

"I know that all members of the League, and indeed all Canadians, will be holding
our King, Queen Camilla and the entire Royal Family in our hearts during what
must be a most difficult time for them, and one of anxiety for all, especially us and
our fellow inhabitants of the Realms. That 20% of us will be similarly afflicted in
our life time brings The King even closer to his subjects, and us to him.

You may mail good wishes to The King at Buckingham Palace, London SW1A 1AA -
it does require postage. And nothing would please His Majesty more than to know
you will be doing a good work his name and honour, such as donating to the
Canadian Cancer Society, visiting the sick or bringing some treats to where
homeless people gather."

A Response from India

On a beach in Odisha, India a sand sculptor named Sudarsan
Pattnaik created an impressive tribute to the King;

The King has temporarily stepped away from his duties while
he undergoes treatment. This has impacted one major
engagement thus far with him sending congratulations to
Grenada on its 50th year of independence and expressing
regret he could not be there to celebrate the occasion in
person.

With the King getting treatment there is the question of how
his various engagements will be divided up among the other
'working royals'. Princess Anne, indefatigable though she may
be, can't reasonably take on more duties. Prince William may
step up but there is also a possibility Lady Louise Windsor
(the King's niece) will take on duties as has been speculated
since 2023.

To finish off, I would like to wish His Majesty a speedy
recovery.

Justin Trudeau's Partial About Face on the Monarchy

5/13/2023

Photo Credit: Reuters

I have, for a while now, been
critical of Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau's handling of
the monarchy. Perhaps,
surprisingly, he has done
several positive things for the
monarchy in a very short
amount of time and it is worth
examining what the effects of
his actions will be.

Approval of Coronation Medallions

Trudeau faced a fair amount of
criticism, even from within his own
caucus, for failing to issue a medal to
mark the late Queen's jubilee. While
no coronation medal was issued, a
medallion was. Now, I hate to be the
one to nit pick but medallions are
generally sold while medals are
given to recognize some worthy
person. Given the recent times we've
been through there are a large
number of Canadians who ought to be honoured. Trudeau's
reluctance to issue a medal on both occasions is curious.

King Charles III to Grace the $20 Bill

The government confirmed that the King's portrait will be
on the Canadian $20 bill as well as all coins issued. The coins
were never really in doubt but there were suggestions around
not having the King on the $20 bill. Trudeau has put that
speculation to rest.

Ottawa Coronation Celebrations

While the events were described as low-key, Trudeau's
government didn't have to hold them at all so the fact that he
did shows some desire to acknowledge the monarchy.

A New Crown

Trudeau's government has created a new Canadian crown.
It is a heraldic design only and shares elements with the
Tudor Crown, Saint Edward's Crown, and (probably
unintentionally) the Loyalist Coronet.

Now, some dislike this design. There are criticisms about how
the design was decided on (without consultation), removal of
religious symbols (crosses and fleur-de-lis), and the addition
of a snowflake to the top of the crown. Even the direction of
the ermine arrows was critiqued (I am not going to discuss
ermine arrows!).

Okay, first of all, I understand why there was no consultation
with Parliament. There may still be people old enough to
remember the Canadian Flag Debate and all the acrimony
that caused. The monarchy is meant to be a unifying symbol,
intentionally making it a source of division would be perverse.

Second, as a Christian myself, yes, I would prefer to have my
beliefs represented. However, the Canadian Monarchy, unlike
the British Monarchy, has no connection to an established
church (which is also reflected in a recent change to the
King's Canadian titles). It is weird then for such a connection
to be present in the crown. Given the monarchy's association
with a single faith has been a point of attack for republicans
this may blunt that particular charge.

The new design plays up the theme of Canadians being tied to
the land they live on with the crown's representations of
rivers, mountains, maple trees and snow. Also, that snowflake
is a bestagon.

This does mean that future Leadership Surveys will need
to change out the crown used but thats a me problem.

New Passport Retains Royal Symbols

Photo Credit: Sean Kilpatrick

The new passport design was
released to mixed reviews. Some
praised the artwork while others
criticized the lack of historical
references. But despite this the
passport retains the coat of arms
and its royal symbolism (even if
the cover is a bit awkward). As a
side note the coat of arms still uses
Saint Edward's Crown which may
indicate a lack of coordination between the government
departments. Most likely, differing time tables on when things
needed to be done prevented the new crown from being
included.

Defence of the Monarchy Improves

Recent terrible polling for the monarchy has led other leaders
in the Commonwealth musing about future republics. To his
credit, Trudeau wasn't one of them. In the past I did critique
his defence of the monarchy. His comments after the King's
coronation were quite a bit better and came at a time when
they were needed. Likewise, his comment before the funeral
of Queen Elizabeth II about appreciating the monarchy's
'steadiness' shows a degree of growth, if not in his thoughts
regarding the monarchy, at least in how he presents those
thoughts.

Closing Remarks

Some of the actions above have attracted criticism but that is
unavoidable in the current political climate. Overall, I think
Trudeau has set the monarchy up well for the future. I still
have grievances with how Trudeau handles the monarchy
file (the free portrait program especially) but he has done a
solid B+ job recently.

Coronation Cost Too Much? Its A Steal At Double The Price.

5/7/2023

The King's coronation this past
Saturday went off without a
hitch and frankly was a beautiful
affair. It is hard to believe that
the British were once held to be
rather bad at pulling off such
highly orchestrated events. And,
as with all things these days it
seems, someone is worried that
too much money is being spent.

The final cost won't be known for some time but unofficial
estimates put it at $125 million on the high end. Now, it
would be rather trite to call that a rounding error in a country
with a yearly GDP of 3 trillion dollars, so I won't. Instead, I
want to do a small comparison with republics. Specifically, I
want to take a look at inauguration costs (all sums given in
US Dollars).

United States of America

The USA is to republics what the UK is to monarchies; the
arch-typical example everyone seems to compare themselves to. In the US there is a presidential inauguration every four
years. The price varies (but rises with inflation) and private
donations cover some of the costs but taxpayers in the US are
usually on the hook for about $100 million.

France + Germany

The French in inauguration is a bit of an all day affair. There
is the constitutionally required parts followed by various
events around Paris. The Germans have much more low-key
inaugurations.

What both France and Germany have in common is the
difficulty in finding cost breakdowns. The French example
probably reaches the $100 million threshold while the
German example probably doesn't.

Ireland

Again, a full costing does not seem to be available but they did
spend $110,000 on catering for the 2018 inauguration. Its a
bit iffy if Ireland reaches the $100 million threshold. The
main determiner is staffing costs for security and clean-up
which might push it up a bit. An educated guess would be
$500,000 all told.

Time Between Events

Coronations don't happen at set intervals and can vary
between a few years and many decades. Usually a long reign
means a short interval will follow. If you averaged it out you'd probably come out with something close to one coronation
every 20 years. I'm going to say once every ten years for the
sake of the argument I'm making.

Presidential terms vary but for the examples I've used its; US
four years, France five years, Germany five years, and Ireland
seven years. The result being that the US and France spend
twice as much on inaugurations than the UK spends on
coronations. Ireland probably spends more if a 20 year
average interval is used and Germany might have spent more
on inaugurations during the Queen's reign.

More Bang Per Buck

All of which is to say that the King's coronation is not out of
line with what other countries spend on ceremonial transfers
of power and may be on the less expensive side due to longer
intervals on average compared to republics. There is also the
point to be made that since the coronation covers many
different realms its a bargain for all involved. I don't think a
Canadian republic would long avoid having its own, perhaps
modest, inauguration event. The result being the introduction
of a cost it doesn't currently have. Plus, the coronation was
a far more spectacular event than any inauguration. People
need to learn to stop being penny wise, pound foolish.

Canadian Emblem for the Coronation of King Charles III

4/12/2023

With less than a month to go before the
coronation there has been an increase
in government announcements in
regards to the various aspects of the
celebration.

The Department of Canadian Heritage
recently released the design for the
King's Coronation Emblem. It is full of
symbolism regarding the outlook of the
King and how he views his role. From
their website:

The Royal Monogram (CIIIR) in the centre of the Emblem and the Royal
Crown at the top are personal symbols of The King.

The ring of triangular shapes evokes the image of a string of pennants
displayed for a celebration. These 13 shapes allude to Canada’s
provinces and territories, and their circular arrangement conveys the
idea of inclusion for all Canadians. The circle is also an important
concept for many Indigenous Peoples, symbolizing not only equity but
also the cycles of the natural world. The green colour of the shapes is
associated with the environment, which has long been an important
cause for His Majesty, and it symbolizes hope and growth.

Inclusion and togetherness are also represented by the white spaces
between the green shapes, which resemble paths leading to a central
meeting place. The entire white space can be seen as a sunburst,
symbolizing innovation and new ideas.

The Emblem was designed and painted by Cathy Bursey-Sabourin,
Fraser Herald at the Canadian Heraldic Authority.

There has been some speculation on why King Charles III
opted for the Tudor Crown rather than St. Edward's Crown in
his cypher. Arguments largely fall into four categories:
1. To differentiate his reign from his mother's reign.
2. The Tudor Crown has a strong link with male monarchs.
3. A call-back to King Charles I after whom the King is named.
4. The simpler design fits the King's aesthetics better.

As briefly mentioned in the official description the emblem is
meant to convey people coming together and it is known the
King values his ability to bring people together to discuss
issues of concern.

Cathy Bursey-Sabourin, Fraser Herald at the Canadian
Heraldic Authority, has worked in Canadian heraldry for over
30 years and was the first women to hold a state herald
position in the Commonwealth. She previously designed the
Queen's Platinum Jubilee Emblem. In early 2023 she was
made a member of the Royal Victorian Order, which is a
personal gift of the reigning monarch.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

12/28/2022

It has been quite a year. Queen Elizabeth II oversaw a historic
platinum jubilee. Her death, while saddening, resulted in no
mad rush for the door at the prospect of King Charles III as
republicans had long predicted (hoped?). Instead, the new
king has taken to his role with vigor and the people have been
largely supportive. The Queen's presence benefitted the
monarchy but she knew more than anyone else that the
institution of monarchy isn't about any one person. Over the
last few years she had been slowly easing the public into the
new reign. Quite the contrast with the republican system in
which preparing a successor is almost never seen as desirable.

The King's Christmas Address

"With all my heart I wish each of you a Christmas of peace,
happiness, and everlasting light."

Prince George the Artist

The Prince and Princess of Wales shared a painting by Prince
George a few days ago. It appears he has his grandfather's
talent with the brush.

New Year's Levee

This year will mark the return of the New Year's Levee for
many of Canada's vice-regal offices. It is sometimes forgotten
that the New Year's Levee is a distinctly Canadian tradition
that has its origins in court protocol of the French monarchy
and was adapted by fur traders and early governors of New France (Quebec) as a time to pay one's respects to the crown,
receive news from Europe, and let loose a little bit. British
authorities continued these traditions and are now celebrated
across the country.

The Year Ahead

While the last few years have demonstrated the foolishness of
trying to predict what will happen in the coming year there
are a few things to look out for:

The Coronation
While the exact details have not been worked out, the King
rejected the idea of a 'bargain bin' coronation. One change
likely to be seen is in the title 'Defender of the Faith'. The King
has stated in the past that the monarch, while adhering to
one faith, should seek to protect all faiths and stated a
preference for 'Defender of Faith'.

Fiji
The Fijian parliament is in a minority situation and the
coalition government has stated they wish to restore the Great
Council of Chiefs which was previously parliament's upper
house. The Great Council of Chiefs famously continued to
recognize Queen Elizabeth II as paramount chief long after
Fiji became a republic. While I'm not getting my hopes up for
a royal restoration in a country that still uses some of its royal symbols it is a step in the right direction.

How King Charles III Can Keep His Voice During His Reign

10/27/2022

Earlier this month former British
Prime Minister Liz Truss managed,
during her very short time in office,
to advise His Majesty not to attend
the environmental gathering known
as COP27. By convention the king has
a duty to follow the advice of his
prime minister even if pretty much
everyone knows he doesn't want to.
Even now, with a brand new prime
minister in place, His Majesty is not
likely to attend. There is still a bit of debate over how much
this was a joint decision but for the sake of this article lets
assume King Charles III would want to attend COP27 to bring
further attention to increasingly worrisome environmental
issues. How could he do so?

The unimaginative might suggest he simply ignore his prime
minister's advice. He is not likely to do this. Not only would it
damage a working relationship that will (presumably) last
more than a couple months, it would feed into the perception
that he intends to 'meddle' in government affairs. Both factors
would reduce the monarch's considerable soft power which is
worth avoiding.

As it happens there is a way for His Majesty to continue to
carry out most, if not all, of his previous work and it is by
learning from an incident that took place in Canada in 1973.
At the time Canada was hosting a meeting of Commonwealth
leaders. British prime minister Edward Heath, for whatever
reason, advised the Queen not to attend. The Commonwealth
was to the Queen what the environment is to the King. The
Queen was able to attend the meeting because she received an
invitation to attend as the Queen of Canada by Pierre Trudeau
(hey! History is starting to rhyme a little). This works as while
the monarch can be advised not to do something in their
capacity as monarch of that country, they can't be barred from
acting as monarch of another country. With this we have a
blue print for King Charles III regaining his voice.

First meeting between Prime Minister Trudeau and His Majesty

Now, I could suggest that Justin Trudeau invite the King and
this would make a certain amount of sense. Justin Trudeau
has come under criticism for making very little progress on
his climate plan. Having a champion of climate reform
present distracts from this narrative and is the type of
ceremonial action the prime minister is good at. That said,
Trudeau hasn't been overly kind to the monarchy during his
time in office. Are there any other candidates? Well, yes,
actually. Papua New Guinea recently stated they wished to
deepen ties with the Royal Family. And climate change will
hit Papua New Guinea, and other equatorial nations with
particular severity. The King and his Papua New Guinean
realm could make common cause at COP27. And there is no
reason the King couldn't ask around the rest of the
Commonwealth for partners on other issues. King Charles III
is head of 15 countries. Perhaps he should make better use of
this fact.
