King Carlos III is scheduled to land on Monday, May 26 in Ottawa for a historic visit where he will pronounce the throne speech for the reopening of the Canadian Parliament, a brief visit performed as a clear brand of support after the annexed threats of Donald Trump.
The 76 -year -old sovereign is also head of state of Canada, a member country of the Commonwealth. He continues with strict political neutrality, he has never made the slightest public comment on the wishes of the US president who dreams of making Canada the 51st US state. Donald Trump is also a great admirer of the royal family.
The representative of the British crown in Canada, the general governor, pronounces the discourse of the throne. But Charles III was invited by the new Prime Minister Mark Carney: this speech, a strong point of the real visit of 24 hours to the capital of Ottawa, will detail the priorities of the government of the new left.
This speech will be particularly analyzed, particularly in matters of sovereignty and commercial relations, in front of a Donald Trump that dreams of annexing the country of 41 million inhabitants, which also recently imposed an increase in customs taxes.
“A historical honor”
Elizabeth II, the mother of King Charles, only pronounced the throne’s speech twice during her long reign, in 1957 and the last time in 1977.
Mark Carney, Prime Minister since mid -March, won the legislative elections on April 28 placing the defense of Canada’s sovereignty in the heart of his campaign.
He told Donald Trump on May 6 at the White House that Canada “will never be on sale”, in response to the US president who made him the list of “formidable advantages” for Canadians of a “wonderful wedding.”
Charles III “will present the plan of our government so that Canada is stronger in Canada, said Canadian Prime Minister on Wednesday, May 21. He had previously greeted his displacement” as a historical honor that reflects the seriousness of our time. “
Donald Trump’s envoy to Canada, Ambassador Pete Hoekstra, rejected the idea that Charles’s invitation to Parliament was an effective way to send a message to the country’s annexation:
“If there is a message to transmit, there are simpler ways to do it. Just call me! Mr. Carney can call the president at any time,” said the diplomat last week to the public channel of CBC.
Pete Hoekstra added that he considered the question of annexation as “close.” “You have to move on. If Canadians want to keep talking about that, it’s their business.”
Carrossian thrown by 28 horses
The visit of Charles, who will be accompanied by Queen Camilla, is her twenty -fashioned in Canada, but the first since she became king in September 2022. This is the sixth for Camilla, the first as queen.
The real couple must land on Monday afternoon on Monday and will begin with a community meeting that celebrates in music and through its crafts the diversity and cultural heritage of Canada. The King will also have the general governor Mary Simon and prime minister.
In Rideau Hall, official residence of the general governor, the king will participate in the planting of a tree, before a brief reception planned with government lieutenants of the ten Canadian provinces and territorial commissioners of the three territories.
On Tuesday, King and Queen will go to the coach attracted by 28 horses to the Senate for the throne speech. Charles III will receive military honors there. The real visit will end with the deposit of a crown in front of the tomb of the unknown soldier. A Canadian doctor has been made available to the king, treated every week by cancer, whose guy has never been specified.
