Was meaning it in a broader application as did the person who came up with this quote.
But, to be used in a singular situation, it would work as well.

OK, I'll lead with a misinformation event while working a shift in a 5 story store, when a guy comes over to me (wearing my company badge) and asks where the the "Lift" is located.
I paused for a moment, then replied being on the main floor, "Just outside, and down about 50 feet, and you'll see the sign". After he left in that direction a fellow worker must have overheard my directions, and with an English accent, mentioned to me, "A 'Lift' mate is an 'elevator'!" I had sent him to the taxi stand. Brit slang got in the way, eh? So, "fork"
may cause problems as well.

Canada and England are linked by the British monarchy. You should have known what a lift is, m'8!

The past tempts us,
The present confuses us,
And the future frightens us.
And our lives slip away, moment by moment, lost in that vast terrible inbetween.

"Shoulda/coulda" are two different words, man.
And it's "WAS" not "IS"!

Charles III is Canada's monarch.
Charles's role is really more symbolic than real, as he does in no way rule. It's more of a past custom of historic identity that he's referred to, and has the title "Head of State". This in turn has become more of a honorarium status for him.
Canada is still considered part of the "Commonwealth", along with the four original colonies, but in 1926 a lot more countries joined this league of nations. Each member isn't bound to decisions made in Commonwealth councils/decisions and can act independently their own accord.
In 1867 Canada was no longer a "Dominion" and became a separate country.

I traveled in Canada three times in my old VW Westphalia van. Two-month sojourns from college. These were some of the best vacations that I have ever had.
Crossing the Athabasca River. I have a ton of Ektachrome slides that need digitalizing.
