King Charles's visit to Canada is viewed as a significant reinforcement of the country's sovereignty, particularly in light of Donald Trump's past comments suggesting Canada might become a US state. The Canadian high commissioner, Ralph Goodale, highlighted the importance of showcasing Canadian independence during the royal visit, where Charles is set to open a session of Parliament. This visit comes alongside the election of Prime Minister Mark Carney, who is navigating the complex relationship with the US while upholding Canada's sovereignty.
As Charles undertakes his duties as head of state of Canada, he is also playing a role in Keir Starmer's attempt to maintain strong relations with the US.
Goodale told journalists that the king's visit will show Canada is the true north, strong and free and we will stay that way.
