Ottawa, Ontario – – King Carlos III arrives in Ottawa this week to underline Canada’s sovereignty to the president of the United States, Donald Trump.
Trump’s repeated suggestion that the United States Annex your northern neighbor He promoted Prime Minister Mark Carny to invite Charles to give the throne speech that will describe the agenda of his government for the new Parliament. The King is the head of state In Canada, which is a member of the British Commonwealth of ancient colonies.
“His Majesty, King Carlos III, will read the discourse of the throne and, therefore, will present the plan of our Government, our priorities, since Canada faces a fundamental moment in its history, the greatest transformation of the world commercial system since the fall of the Berlin wall,” Carney told his Sunday Caucus.
Carney said that “Canada has a firm defender in the sovereign” when he announced the visit earlier this month.
It is rare for the monarch to deliver what is called the throne speech in Canada. Charles’ mother, Queen Elizabeth II, did it twice in her 70 -year -old reign. The last time was in 1977.
The Canadians are largely indifferent to the monarchy, but Carney has been anxious to show the differences between Canada and the United States and said that the King’s visit clearly underlines Canada’s sovereignty.
The Americans had a revolution to obtain the independence of Great Britain. Canada remained a colony until 1867 and continued from then on a constitutional monarchy with a British parliamentary system.
“We are different and the king illustrates that,” said former Quebec Prime Minister Jean Charest. “If you look why King Charles is reading the throne’s speech of what you have to recognize the story of Canada.”
But the new ambassador of the United States in Canada, Pete Hoekstra, said that sending messages is not necessary and that Canadians should move from the State’s talk 51, telling the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation that if there is a message that is sent, there are easier ways to do it as calling or calling the president.
Real Historian Carolyn Harris hopes Trump notice the visit because the president has repeatedly spoken about his admiration for the royal family.
Harris said Trump could see how different is Canada from the United States.
“It is a very distinctive story that dates back to the waves of the loyal ones that were established here after the American revolution,” Harris said. “And let’s see the king in a Canadian context, escorted by the Royal Police mounted from Canada, surrounded by Canadian symbolism. This is a lot of King Carlos III in his role as King of Canada.”
The speech, which will be delivered on Tuesday, is not written by the king or his advisors in the United Kingdom, since the king serves as a non -partisan head of state. The king will read what the Government of Canada presents.
“Charles can only act with the consent and with the advice of his prime minister. But at the same time he cannot act in a way that he throws to any of the other 14 areas of the Commonwealth under the bus. Therefore, it is the finest had,” said Justin Vovk, a real Canadian historian.
The Canadians were not happy when the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer, extended a state visiting invitation to Trump on behalf of the King for a time when Trump threatened the sovereignty of Canada.
“Being honest,” said Carney’s Sky News. “They were not impressed by that gesture, simply given the circumstance. It was a time when we were quite clear … about the problems related to sovereignty.”
The king has been showing his support for Canada more recently, including the exhibition of Canadian military medals in his chest during a visit to a British carrier.
After the first album or ceremonial ball will drop during a street hockey game. He will also attend a community event and meet Carney and the Governor General of Canada, his representative as head of state. The king will return to the United Kingdom after Tuesday’s speech and a visit to the National War Memorial of Canada.
