The Crown is not a symbol, it is a continuous thread to our constitutional life, and it wields the real power. The Governor General is the guardian of our constitutional order, and the most demanding part of that role is rarely seen.

00:00:00.000 I think you're the only one that I know that is an actual expert on the oath
00:00:04.120 and why we've brought you on the show so many times
00:00:07.440 in order to bring this forward and help educate citizens.
00:00:10.720 And now we are really working on this campaign to lobby government
00:00:15.220 because I've always said knowledge is power.
00:00:18.340 Most of the sitting MPs and MLAs, nobody knows about it.
00:00:22.100 They don't understand that the oath is binding
00:00:24.740 and how powerful it is to taking back Canada.
00:00:27.500 We're going to play a clip that I think is very relevant on who Carney has just appointed or selected or inserted as the next governor general.
00:00:38.400 It will highlight who the new governor general is that's been inserted by Mark Carney and an upcoming campaign where I think it's very important to appeal to Mark Carney to reassess her suitability.
00:00:51.960 So, last week, we all saw King Charles in Washington trying to save the post-war order.
00:00:58.140 This week, Mark Carney was in Armenia, admitting that the original version of that order is ruptured and needs to be retooled.
00:01:06.180 Charles brought the pageantry. Carney is building the successor system.
00:01:10.640 Now, look at the countries that Carney identified who are supposed to comprise that successor system.
00:01:16.580 Canada, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia.
00:01:20.860 That's the Anglosphere plus the European imperial remnant.
00:01:24.920 That is not a coalition of democracies. 0.53
00:01:27.560 That's the British imperial system's remaining structure, consolidating against the American
00:01:33.700 system of Donald Trump and what he's trying to revive.
00:01:36.920 And the rest of the cast of characters in Armenia included the usual has-beens, Keir
00:01:42.920 Starmer, Emmanuel Macron, Ursula von der Leyen, you get the picture. But when Carney returned
00:01:49.580 from Armenia to Canada, he made an announcement in Ottawa. He appointed a new governor general
00:01:56.200 of Canada. Now the media covers it as a routine administrative appointment. That's not what it
00:02:02.020 was. Carney didn't just name the name of the new governor general. He described the office itself.
00:02:09.080 The Crown is a continuous thread to our constitutional life.
00:02:14.080 It is, as His Majesty himself said, a symbol of Canada in all her richness and dynamism.
00:02:21.780 And the Governor-General is the Crown's representative in Canada,
00:02:27.200 Commander-in-Chief of the Canadian Armed Forces, steward of our traditions.
00:02:32.740 Now pay close attention to what Carney said.
00:02:35.780 The crown is not a symbol. It permeates Canada's constitutional life. And it wields the real power.
00:02:44.280 Most people, including many Canadians, probably assume it's the prime minister who commands the military.
00:02:50.180 He doesn't. The crown's representative does. Remember that. Then he added this.
00:02:56.800 The governor general is the guardian of our constitutional order.
00:03:00.640 the most demanding part of that role is rarely seen. It's the duty to ensure that government
00:03:07.780 in Canada is formed, sustained, and when the time comes, dismissed in accordance with law
00:03:15.700 and convention. Dismissed. The governor general can dismiss the government. That's how he chose
00:03:22.140 to describe the ultimate power of the office he was about to fill. Because the people of Canada
00:03:28.100 are not sovereign. The king is the sovereign. And I want you to remember that when you look
00:03:33.000 at how Carney has been given the public portfolio to try and reshape the empire's rules-based order.
