crackkhaus: Ah, so you are one of those lots! The kind that take it as a compliment when "oyinbo man" tells you you speak so well, or that you're so articulate, or that you are one of the good ones. Believe me, they are not compliments. "....to impress me with faux knowledge" Nah, not to impress you but to impress upon you the knowledge that you probably lack of life in the West from all of "your visits". It's a compliment when you tell a five year old he/she is articulate, that he/she speaks so well, but it's not for an adult. Next time you are told that on a "visit", tell that person, so do you; for I thought you were an idiot. I already talked about the bias against her because of her race, I never discounted it.... So you are mad at her that she refuses to accept to tiptoe about in her own home because of their bias? Because she chose to protect her family especially her child from such biased scrutiny; an expectation of every mother. Or did you think it was going to stop with her? How long was it going to take before the headlines goes from Kate/Meghan to Gorge/Archie comparison? Or do you not know that prince Archie will always be the black royal? How long do you think before we start seeing the "black sheep(um royal)" of the family headlines because the kid ate chalk at school? I am not trying to join issues with you; I am only trying to let you know that maybe she did all she did to protect her family. And if you don't live in, or have lived in the west, sit down and talk to someone who does and observe on your next visit. See things from a different perspective and gain some knowledge. 3 Likes |

salford1: A Canadian act of parliament does not become law until it receives"royal assent" ie the governor general has to sign it on behalf of the queen. Now, if the Canadian parliament ever decided to do something absolutely off- the- wall insane,the governor general who represents the queen by the way, has the authority to veto it. The commander in chief of the Canadian armed forces is the governor general on behalf of the queen Is this still ceremonial to u? |

Ivebeenbanned: Please don't throw all men in the same category as this guy, biko. He's behaving like uncle tom and unfortunately, a sizable portion of Nigerian men are uncle toms, when it comes to minority rights in the west. After all, they are probably the descendants of the same men that sold their brothers and sisters from neighboring conquered villages into slavery for mirrors and combs in the very beginning. 4 Likes |

salford1: Then again, if the queen has what I call a powerful foot soldier in Canada, that shows that the Canadian will welcome Harry and family not the same way America will welcome them or france. Not the same way canada will welcome me or you. This the point I'm trying to make. They had soft landing and will not find it hard getting on their feet cos they will be taken care of on behalf of the queen which is also Canadian queen, ceremonial or not. Do u get where I'm coming from? This is why I said, I will take them serious when they go to a neutral country to start all over. As far as I'm concerned, they are still in UK. Why didn't they jet off to USA? Sense will not kill them They want to deceive me Still wishing them.the best. 2 Likes |

sassysure:Trudeau is a friend to Harry. In addition, they moved to Canada since it is the most Liberal country in the world for now and we are not toxic and poisonous like the British. Like I said, we don't care how they chose to live their lives. If Obama was in Power, they could also have moved to the states. They simply moved to where they would feel welcome and not hostility. I agree, sense will not kill them 1 Like |

sassysure:Head of the Canadian armed forces is ceremonial No Canadian will go to war for Britain or the Queen. Also the governor general and the provinces Lt governors are figure head too. I don't even know the new of Canada's governor general or my provinces Lt. Governor. The governor general was in Nigeria last year. 99.99 percent of Nigerians did not even know she visited. If Trudeau visited naija, even other west African presidents would visit naija to welcome him. In my province as well, the Premier we elected via vote controls the province not some figure head and funny dressed Lt governor that only shows up during ceremonies. |

salford1:The same qoura exactly where u got this from has this And the stuffs I posted up there. This is the governor general among them. It's more than ceremonial. Britain does not involve in the day to day running of affair in Canada but that does not mean they don't have their fangs in Canada. Politically, if war starts today between Canada any which way,Britain will automatically come to the aid of Canada with ease. E.g., assuming war starts between America and Canada, Britain will stand by Canada. Also if America and Britain goes to war, Canada will stand by Britain. Yet both countries are independent.

sassysure:Lol. Trust me. We would rather align with the US than that glorified dead empire. it's 100 percent ceremonial. If the prince trespasses on my land, I will shoot him and ask questions later. |
Re: How The British Press Reported On Meghan And Harry by Nobody: 3:30pm On Jan 21, 2020 |
salford1:So why did Harry go to Canada instead of U.S. where his in law lives and where the wife is established. Is it not better for them to start there tha where they will have no footing? Meghan is from usa. Why did they choose canada? Baba, forget tory. They knew what they did |

sassysure: Canadians are by and large polite and give each other their space. We don’t have a culture of celebrity as the U.S., nor do we have a gutter press that preys on the royals as does Britain. So, moving to a country like Liberal and multicultural Canada makes a lot of sense. It doesn't take long to figure that out. Lots of liberal minded British folks are moving here too. Please remember to celebrate Canada Day with us every 1st of july. We became an independent country in 1867 (the Dominion of Canada). 3 Likes |

salford1: I'm not actually against them moving to Canada. What I said is that the queen has fangs in Canada so they will have soft landing( if u understand what that means) That is what started all these. So, their affairs will still be controlled and aided by the queen through her proxies. |

yeyeosoronga: Exactly. Even in the recent Brexit drama, her "powers" actually amounted to zilch. She is told what to do and where to sign. She is a representational symbol of nationhood; the real power lies with government whom the royals gave almost all their rights to how many years ago to stop themselves from being overthrown like other European countries 3 Likes 1 Share |

sassysure:Canada belongs to the first Nation aka aboriginal aka real Americans. The ones the British used to refer to as Indians. I have been told to go back to the jungle I came from in Africa a number of times in the UK but never in Canada, because everyone that is not first Nation is an immigrant or descendant of an immigrants. Here in Canada, we all lead the way. Not saying Canada is a perfect or model first world country, but atleast we identify and acknowledge faults and problems and try to fix same. But the British, they won't even accept that something is bad and would use words to downplay stuffs. As per the naija stuff. That is a story for another day 1 Like |
