King Charles to open Canada’s parliament amid escalating tensions with the US
The Economic Times ^ | 05/02/2025 | Global Desk

King Charles III is set to make a historic visit to Canada later this month, attending the State Opening of Parliament in Ottawa on May 26–27, 2025. This landmark event marks the first time a reigning monarch has opened Canada’s Parliament in nearly seven decades—since Queen Elizabeth II did so in 1957.

The royal visit comes at a politically sensitive moment, as tensions between Canada and the United States continue to rise. The visit is expected to not only reinforce the symbolic ties between Canada and the British monarchy but also underscore Canada's sovereign identity amid provocative remarks from US President Donald Trump.

Charles would probably have come anyway, Trump just gives him a reason to look like George III in Hamilton.

Well, new Prime Minister Carney is at least as much British and Bermudan as he is Canadian.He should be comfortable with it. So will the folks in Ontario. Alberta . . . not so much.

The only people raising tensions are @$$hat Canadians.

Wouldn’t it be nice if our 2 countries could divide and then unite into liberals and Conservatives, with new boundaries.

I can’t say what a good border would be, but they can have the southern .

Let the left live as they will as leave us alone.

And remind the Canadians that it’s 4 downs, not 3, and the football field is 100 yards.

The more the world clutches their proverbial pearls, the more we know the Trump administration is doing the right thing. and this time we won't back down.

Trump's near assassination gave him the fortitude to follow through this time.

I think the Maple Leaves have a good chance this year of taking the Cup north of the border.

Since the Lightning got kicked out of the playoffs, I don’t have particular favorite, though I’d like to see Ov score a few more goals before the Caps end their season.

Is America supposed to care that Canada’s head of state is an inbred, closet muzzie? He’s the original Tampon not Walz.

Only escalating tension is on the phony Canadian side. The Comminadians using non existent tensions to keep their sheeple wee wee’ed up for them as they screw the sheeple over. People here hardly mention Canada anymore.

Prince Charles would have been 8 when his mother opened the Canadian Parliament in 1957. I don't know if he came along on the trip.

I think he is mostly of Germanic ancestry (Prince Philip was born in Greece but the Greek royal family was from Germany). He is a direct descendant of William the Conqueror, whom Thomas Paine correctly called a French bastard (ignoring a bit of Scandinavian ancestry). But he is also descended from medieval Scottish kings.

FWIW my Norman ancestor came to England with WtheC as a baron; 600 years later his descendant came to Virginia as an indentured servant, and every generation since moved from where he was born to where he died--I'm keeping the tradition by moving from NJ to FL, and my son...well, he moved to Nova Scotia to do his calling, traffic planning. (MY dad joke is that he does his work in a roundabout way, but I digress.)

P.S. According to my sources, the attitude in the maritimes in CA is similar to when Americans felt stiffed by France, and boycotted French fries to make themselves feel better.

Pretty much all the European royal families are German. William was a Norman(Viking).

Canada was the first commonwealth nation of the British Empire, 1867.

Imagine the impact on world history if instead of making war on her American subjects, the UK had made us Americans the first commonwealth nation.
