Ottawa | King Charles said Canada was facing unprecedented challenges in a world that’s never been more dangerous as he opened the Canadian parliament on Tuesday (Wednesday AEST) with a speech widely viewed as a show of support in the face of annexation threats by US President Donald Trump.
The King is the head of state in Canada, which is a constitutional monarchy. Trump’s repeated suggestion that Canada become the 51st state prompted Prime Minister Mark Carney to invite Charles to give a speech from the throne outlining the Liberal government’s priorities for the new session of parliament.
