How Many Canadians have Valiantly Died for England

The King wears some medals and the Prime Ministers is afraid of offending the US #\im so so bored with the USA the clash.

I think her Queen Elizabeth is rolling over in her grave.

None for England alone, nor for the United Kingdom, but many for things greater than single countries alone.

And with Britons, Americans and other nationalities alongside them.

@ArishMell We did do it for Britain and the Empire. Canadians considered themselves loyal to the Crown and were proud to fight for England. We were also in Afganistan with Britain. Canada has always defended England, it would have been nice for a more firm stance with us against Trump. I don't think that some words of solidarity is too much to ask when we always fight and die when Britains asks.

@JimboSaturn I think the solidarity is there but kept at low key to avoid the risk of international slanging-matches that would help no-one. It's better for politicians to keep quiet and let the half-dozen or so running the Washington Circus show themselves up publicly as at least remarkably naive.
