“When my dear deceased mother addressed her predecessors seven decades ago, she said that at that age, and in the context of international affairs, no nation could live in itself,” said Charles, referring to the discourse of the 1957 throne of Queen Elizabeth to Parliament.
“It is a source of great pride that, in the following decades, Canada has continued to give an example to the world in its behavior and values, as a force for good,” he said. “As the anthem reminds us: the true north is really strong and free!”
King Charles received a long round of applause on Tuesday in the Senate when he cited the national anthem of Canada, saying that the song reminds us: “The true north is, in fact, strong and free.”

In the part of the speech written by Carney and his team, Charles said that Canada’s relationship with the United States is changing and that the country faces “unprecedented challenges.”
“Many Canadians feel anxious and worried about the drastically changing world around them. Fundamental change is always disturbing. However, this moment is also an incredible opportunity. An opportunity for renewal. An opportunity to think big and act bigger. An opportunity for Canada to embark on the greater transformation of its economy since World War II,” Charles said.
“Canadians can give much more than any foreign power in any continent can remove.

“Our sovereignty is strong,” said Carney.
Thousands of people aligned on Wellington Street to see Charles and Camilla travel through the parliamentary enclosure in the Royal Landau in Canada to the Senate for speech, easily one of the largest crowds for a real visit in this country in years.
Some people shouted “God save the king”, “Thank you for coming, Lord” and “We Love You Charles”, while inspecting the intelligent military guard of 100 members of 100 members: the troops were from the third battalion, the real Canadian royal regiment, which gathered him and a stretcher, who was dressed in blue and pearls of pearls and a rifles of the queen diamond Braschles de Canada.

Charles has done this many times in his last 19 visits to this country: members of the royal family rarely make a stop in Canada without some kind of recognition of the country’s military personnel, veterans and war dead. In fact, in his speech, the King praised the efforts of Battlefield in Canada in Juno Beach, in Dieppe, in Somme, in Beaumont-Hamel, in Ypres and in Vimy Ridge.
Then, the royal couple was taken to the airport in an electric BMW sedan and not in the car of the American manufacturing lincoln city that was used the last time they were in the capital of the nation, a symbolic gesture when Canada fights with Trump’s automatic tariffs.
