"The true north is indeed strong and free." If King Charles's remarks on Canada's sovereignty sounded familiar, that is because officials in Mark Carney's new government wrote them. On May 27th the king delivered the throne speech in his capacity as head of state, opening parliament. Usually the job of Canada's governor-general, the last monarch to do this job was his mother, Queen Elizabeth, in 1977. The king was drafted in to rally Canadians to Mark Carney's banner (Mr Carney's brother runs the household of Prince William, the king's son and heir), as Canada's new prime minister settles into his standoff with the pugnacious president of the United States, Donald Trump. https://www.economist.com/the-americas/2025/05/28/the-king-loves-canada-m any-albertans-want-out
