Canadians in British Columbia took to the streets in protest after the Canadian government, led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, refused to grant Meghan Markle $15 million for her latest project in partnership with the Invictus Games.

The Invictus Games, an original event founded by her husband, Prince Harry, was set to feature adapted winter sports, highlighting Canada’s unique nature.

Additionally, the government planned to allocate an extra $1 million in federal funds to support soldiers participating in a program for Canada’s involvement in the Olympics.

However, this decision by Trudeau has not been well-received by everyone, particularly many taxpayers in British Columbia.

They argue that this allocation of public funds is a misuse of taxpayers’ money, claiming it to be a vanity project for the controversial Duchess of Sussex.

Critics argue that these funds could be better utilized for pressing priorities such as healthcare, education, or environmental issues.

Protesters have expressed their displeasure with Meghan Markle, accusing her of hypocrisy for advocating social justice and climate change while leading a lavish lifestyle that seemingly contradicts her principles.

They view her as an opportunist using the Invictus Games as a platform to advance her own interests, including her Netflix deal.

Additionally, these protests have brought attention to Prime Minister Trudeau, whom some perceive as a leader catering to celebrities and foreign interests.

Critics accuse him of betraying the Queen and the Commonwealth by siding with Harry and Meghan, who have publicly criticized the royal family.

They question Trudeau’s motives in supporting the Invictus Games, particularly considering the timing just before the next federal election.

These protests have gained significant momentum on social media, with a petition organized by thought organization attracting over 100,000 signatures.

The petition urges Trudeau to reconsider his decision to allocate funds to Meghan Markle’s project and instead direct the funds towards more urgent purposes.

It also calls on the Queen and the Royal Family to apologize and revoke Harry and Meghan’s honorary Canadian citizenship.

Despite the opposition, Trudeau’s spokesperson reiterated his support for the Invictus Games, emphasizing its value in showcasing Canada’s diversity and inclusion.

While neither Harry nor Meghan directly addressed the controversy, sources close to the situation expressed gratitude for Trudeau’s support and his determination to bring the Invictus Games to Canada.

The event is scheduled to take place in Vancouver from February 18th to 24th and will feature over 500 competitors from 20 countries participating in various sports such as skiing, snowboarding, ice hockey, curling, and wheelchair basketball.

In addition to the sports tournaments, the event will include cultural and educational activities such as concerts, workshops, and exhibitions.
