King Charles to open Canada’s Parliament amid Trump’s 51st state talk

King Charles III recently marked Canada’s sovereignty by opening Parliament, sending a message against U.S.-Canada border threats from President Trump through symbolic acts like his speech, marking a rare milestone as Canada's monarch since 1977. This visit underscores Canada's distinctness from the U.S., highlighting its history and government system, while also drawing criticism from pro-sovereignty Quebec groups who view it as insufficient support for Canadian independence.
