The new U.S. ambassador to Canada says he knows the implication of King Charles III's upcoming trip to Ottawa is to push back on U.S. President Donald Trump's 51st state threats — and he says there are "easier ways to send messages" to the American government.

Perhaps, but bringing the king is preferable to the other tactics they've used in the past.

"In 1812 madison was mad,

He was the president you know.

Well he thought he'd tell the british where they ought to go.

He thought he'd invade canada,

He thought that he was tough.

Instead we went to washington,

And burned down all his stuff.

And the white house burned, burned, burned.

And we're the ones that did it

It burned, burned, burned.

While the president ran and cried,

It burned, burned, burned.

And things were very historical,

And the Americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies WaWaWa

In the war of 1812."
