King Charles Lands In Canada

Canada Invites King Charles to Defend Sovereignty as Trump Dominates U.S. Leadership

OTTAWA | May 26, 2025 – As President Donald Trump continues to assert America’s dominance on the world stage, Canada’s liberal leadership appears rattled. In response to President Trump’s recent comments suggesting the possibility of annexing Canada—comments that ignited headlines across North America—Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has staged a symbolic countermove: inviting King Charles III to deliver the Speech from the Throne in Ottawa.

The visit is being billed by Canadian elites as a reaffirmation of the country’s “independent identity,” but critics on both sides of the border see it for what it is—a political message aimed at the United States and President Trump’s America First agenda.

👑 King Charles in Canada: A Royal Symbol in Political Theater

• King Charles III and Queen Camilla arrived to ceremonial fanfare, greeted by Carney, Governor General Mary Simon, and a 25-member Royal Canadian Dragoons honor guard.
• The King’s role as colonel-in-chief of the unit was on full display—a carefully crafted image of historic military ties between Canada and the Crown.

Governor General Simon declared:

“Their Majesties’ presence underscores the enduring bond that has shaped Canada’s evolution into a sovereign nation.”

But many see this royal visit as a thinly veiled attempt to contrast Canada with President Trump’s assertive, pro-sovereignty stance.

🇨🇦 Canada’s Response to Trump: A Royal Message?

President Trump’s recent remarks—half-joking, half-serious—about possibly adding Canada as the 51st state have clearly struck a nerve in Ottawa. Rather than confront the issue directly, Carney turned to royal pageantry.

“We are different,” said former Quebec Premier Jean Charest. “If you want to understand why Charles is giving the speech, just look at Canada’s story.”

🇺🇸 U.S. Reaction: Shrugging Off the Spectacle

U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra dismissed the entire royal visit as political showmanship:

“If they wanted to send a message, they could have just picked up the phone,” he told the CBC.

Meanwhile, Americans watching from the sidelines see yet another example of globalist elites clinging to old symbols—while President Trump continues to reshape the international order through strength, diplomacy, and unapologetic patriotism.

📜 What’s in the Speech from the Throne?

• The King does not write the speech—he reads a script given to him by Canada’s liberal government.
• Royal historian Justin Vovk explains, “Charles can only act with the consent of the prime minister. It’s pure symbolism.”
• Queen Elizabeth II only did this twice in 70 years. The fact that King Charles is doing it now speaks volumes about Canada’s political insecurity under liberal leadership.

🔥 Key Themes for American Conservatives:

• President Trump’s America First foreign policy is clearly rattling globalists north of the border.
• Canada’s deep reliance on British symbolism shows the weakness of its current leadership.
• Liberal elites using monarchy and history to resist modern U.S. influence.
• Military honors and staged ceremony don’t replace real strength.

🎯 Closing Thoughts

While Canada rolls out the red carpet for King Charles, Americans are focused on results, sovereignty, and strong leadership under President Trump. This visit may entertain the global elite, but the message from Washington remains clear:

The United States leads from strength, not symbolism.
