0:03 Calarogus Shark Media. I am welcome to Pallace Intrigue and host Mark Francis. King Charles struck a measured but resolute tone in his historic speech before Canada's Parliament on Tuesday, invoking shared values and national pride while subtly addressing political tensions with the United States without once naming President Donald Trump. Delivering the first throne speech by a reigning monarch in Canada since Queen Elizabeth in nineteen seventy seven, the King opened with a formal land acknowledgment. This land acknowledgment is a recognition of shared history as a nation, he said, referencing the unseated territory of the Algonquin, a nission of Beg people. He thanked First Nations, Intuit and Metis communities for their great warmth and hospitality, and expressed hope for a path found towards truth and reconciliation. Marking his twentieth visit to Canada and first as sovereign, Charles noted, every time I come to Canada, a little more of Canada seeps into my blood stream and straight to my heart.
1:09 He praised Canada's diversity, courage, and cultural identity and acknowledged the immense change the nation has undergone since a sovereign last opened Parliament, from becoming truly independent and multicultural to embracing reconciliation switching between English and French. The King addressed a wide range of issues, laying out the Currenty government's policy and gender, from housing, affordability and healthcare to boorder, security and economic renewal. Charles underscored a vision of a strong and free Canada, a phrase many interpreted as a subtle retort to Trump's recent remarks suggesting Canada should become the fifty first US state. Today, Canada faces another critical moment, he said. Democracy, pluralism, the rule of law, self determination and freedom are values which Canadians hold dear and once which the government is determined to protect. The King acknowledged that the global trade system, a long a source of Canadian prosperity, d is shifting and that Canada's relationship with partners are also changing. Yet he casts this as a moment of opportunity, an opportunity for renewal, an opportunity to think big and to act bigger, to embark on the largest transformation of its economy since the Second World War.
2:16 On the key topic of US Canada relations, Charles noted the Prime Minister and the President of the United States have begun defining a new economic and security relationship rooted in mutual respect and founded on common interests to deliver transformational benefits for both sovereign nations. While diplomatic protocol prohibits the monarch veering into partisan commentary. Observers noted that charles emphasis on Canadian sovereignty, identity and values served as a pointed rejoinder to Trump's most protectionist measures and rhetorical provocations. The speech also touched on foreign policy, military investment, indigenous prosperity, and the environment. Canada is ready to lead, He said, to build a coalition of like minded countries that share its values, that believe in an international cooperation and the free and open exchange of goods, services, and ideas. The event was rich in symbolism and tradition. The King and Queen Camilla traveled by horse drawn carriage to the Senate of Canada building, greeted by a twenty one gun salute and full military honors inside a standing ovation follow Charles concluding call, May your honor the profound trust bestowed upon you by Canadians, and may God bless and guide you all in your duties. His Majesty closed with a patriotic nod, as the anthem remind us the true North is indeed strong and free. Reactions were mixed outside the Senate.
