Canada’s PM Carney welcomed the invitation to become the first “associate member” of the European Union, but emphasised that the intent is not to become a full member nor to cede sovereignty.

      shit the only reason most Canadians know this is because we’ve had their faces on our money forever. other than they have zero affect on our daily lives.

      The King of Canada is the King of Canada.

      He also happens to be the King of some other minor countries here and there, but those are separate titles.

      Kind of irrelevant. The monarch of Canada is a ceremonial position, and the title is given to the British monarch by custom only. Theoretically, Canada could name whoever they want as king/queen. The only reason we don’t is because it would cause a whole lot of bickering for absolutely no benefit.
