King Charles, the head of the Canadian state, referred to Canada’s anthem and reiterated that ‘the true north is indeed strong and free’ in what seemed like a message to US President Donald Trump who wants to make Canada its 51st state. The throne speech that King Charles read out is written by the Canadian government and reflected PM Nark Carney government’s outlook. “Many Canadians are feeling anxious and worried about the drastically changing world around them. Fundamental change is always unsettling,” he said. “A confident Canada, which has welcomed new Canadians, including from some of the most tragic global conflict zones, can seize this opportunity by recognizing that all Canadians can give themselves far more than any foreign power on any continent can ever take away.”“I have always had the greatest admiration for Canada’s unique identity, which is recognized across the world for bravery and sacrifice in defence of national values, and for the diversity and kindness of Canadians,” the King said.“While the world faces unprecedented challenges, generating uncertainties across the continents with regards to peace and stability, economics, and climate change, your communities have the skills and determination to bring a wealth of solutions,” said the King.On the topic of trade, King Charles in his speech said the country will emerge from trade wars ‘stronger than ever’. He says this will enable Canada to become a superpower in both clean and conventional energy, that would make Canada more globally competitive while fighting climate change and increasing jobs.King Charles and Queen Camilla arrived in Canada to give a speech amid sovereignty threats from Trump. It’s the third time the monarchs attended the event. Queen Elizabeth II, delivered the speech in Parliament in 1957 and 1977.
