"Most people are not aware that Canada is the property of the British Crown and not a democracy" ???????

I think you need to do some research on the Commonwealth before you try to "educate" people. Our passports clearly indicate we are subjects of her majesty, her head is on our currency but that doesn't mean we are the property of the British Crown and not democratic countries. Also, the British Monarchy is not the City of London.

Yes, it's interesting that the Trudeau government is donating money to the Clinton Foundation but without an understanding of Commonwealth history, you're heading in the wrong direction.

Did you listen to your Prime Minister oath of servitude to her majesty swearing to keep all the Queen's secrets and be her royal servant. It is in his own words. The U.K. believes they are a democracy as well at least some do. They are ruled by a monarchy. The U.S. Got as far away as possible but if Americans ever found out how much tax money goes straight to the monarchy, then to the Vatican they would be shocked. Same in Canada but much more direct rule from the Queen.

I was born in England and have lived in Canada for 50 years. I absolutely caught the swearing in and oath to Lizzie as does the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. I'm unable to post links but Lizzie gets a cut of all real estate sales in Canada. Jem777 you are absolutely right.

This isn't helpful. First, the correct amount is $20 million, not $241 million. See the Toronto Sun story which corrected early reports. Second, the British monarchy does not get a percentage of real estate sales, even in Britain, much less in Canada. Third, the fact that Canadian officials swear an oath to the Crown does not mean that Queen Elizabeth "owns" Canada. You're ignoring two centuries of legal precedents and policy.

I agree that the British Royal Family are wealthy, that there are many disturbing stories circulating about high-level pedophilia in Britain (as well as similar stories about other European royal families). I also agree that the Clinton Foundation is massively corrupt, that it is involved in human trafficking, and that Justin Trudeau should not have donated government money to it. But it doesn't help the cause when Voat recycles stories that appear in mainstream publications and then distorts them, getting even basic details wrong.

Trudeau's decision to publicly support the Clintons is bad enough in itself to upset a "normie" publication like the Toronto Sun. This is an opportunity to engage with ordinary citizens and to make them see that something is not right here. Injecting a side theory about how Canadians are all slaves of the Queen, and that this is really all about the Rothschilds and the Jews and so on, just throws away that opportunity.

It's ALL connected it's interwoven for a reason. I believe the $20 million amount was what Canada was donating to women's causes when Trump cut planned parenting funding and such. The $ 241 million was reported and without actually witnessing the cheque I do not know for sure however if you actually think Canada is sovereign then their work is done. I do appreciate your reply
