Tap title to read story
King Charles delivered a speech at the opening of Canada's Parliament, emphasizing the country's sovereignty and freedom. While the speech addressed threats to Canada's independence, notably referencing the importance of open trade and protecting democratic values, it notably avoided mentioning US President Donald Trump, whose claims of Canada becoming the 51st US state had fueled the event's significance. The speech, delivered in both English and French, was well-received by Canadian officials and the public, seen as a show of support against external pressures. The visit also included recognition of Canada's First Nations people.
