King Charles of Canada makes a rare public speech calling for aid from the Commonwealth to support Europe in defending against the US. It's broadcast on Canadian TV.

Who do you join? The US or the UK?

Thus why I called it my knee jerk reaction. The tie in of the monarchy isn't easy or possible to get rid of in Canada, regardless of how i feel about the royals. My point more so was a British monarch immediately asks for help from a country with lower GDP and army spending without elaborating, and I don't really like him.

You see, when one says "knee jerk", per vocabulary.com it means:

The idiom "a knee jerk reaction" means that you respond to something in an equally unthinking way. If you instinctively assume that someone who loves clowns wouldn't have much in common with you, that's a knee jerk, or automatic, reaction.

Thus I'm unthinking. It's not meant to be taken seriously, inherently meaning that it's a bad or idea I haven't thought about.
