Royal rumble Questions raised over crown's role as king visits
The Guardian Weekly
|May 30, 2025
The decision by King Charles to formally open Canada's parliament on Tuesday reflects his role as a "steadfast defender" of the country amid threats to its sovereignty, says prime minister Mark Carney.
But Indigenous leaders say the rare visit is also a reminder that Canada's founding relationship between the monarchy and the country's first peoples cannot ever be "forgotten or displaced or broken".
Charles, Canada's head of state, arrived in Ottawa on Monday to open Canada's 45th parliament by giving the speech from the throne in the senate.
The last time a monarch opened a new parliament was in 1957, when Queen Elizabeth II gave the throne speech.
Carney's invitation to Charles comes against the backdrop of Donald Trump's threats that the US should annex Canada and make it the 51st state. But while the king's throne speech lays out the new government's goals and its plans to achieve them, he is tightly constrained by what he can say.
