King Charles to give historic speech to Canada parliament amid US tensions ...Middle East

News by : (Daily Sun) -

Prime Minister Mark Carney has said he intends to use the king's first visit to the British Commonwealth nation since his coronation to highlight Canada's sovereignty.

It was at the prime minister's invitation that the 76-year-old monarch, who is battling cancer, traveled to the Canadian capital, accompanied by Queen Camilla.

Trump has also ripped up the world trade order and launched tariff wars against friends and foes alike, particularly targeting northern neighbor Canada.

Although it will be read by the king as if it were in his own words, it was, in fact, written by the prime minister’s office and will set out the government’s priorities to “build Canada strong” and how it aims to achieve them.

Carney has vowed to oversee the biggest transformation of Canada's economy since the end of the Second World War to enable it to “stand up” to Trump.

'Extraordinary' symbolism

The throne speech has only twice before been personally delivered by Canada's monarch, in 1957 and 1977, both by Charles's mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II.

Thousands flocked to the capital on Monday to greet the king and queen on their first day of the brief visit.

Retiree Dave Shaw, 60, said it was “a great time for (the king) to be here now at this particular time given the geopolitical circumstances, given the circumstances of our country right now.”

They were scheduled to ride to the Senate Tuesday morning in a four-wheeled carriage escorted by 28 horses from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police’s fabled “Musical Ride” unit.

There will be a 21-gun salute and a flypast by fighter jets, and the monarchs will also lay a wreath at a war memorial.
