King Charles reminds Canada her ‘true values' amid Trump row

King Charles is speaking to Canadians in a heartfelt and brave message.

His Majesty gave his address at Ottawa on Tuesday in the Senate in both English and French.

The message comes amid Donald Trump’s plans to make Canada a part of the US.

Charles said: “It is with a sense of deep pride and pleasure that my wife and I join you here today as we witness Canadians coming together in a renewed sense of national pride.”

“Today, Canada faces another critical moment.

“Democracy, pluralism, rule of law, self-determination and freedom are values which Canadians hold dear, and ones which the government is determined to protect.”

The King then shared words of encouragement for the Canadian public, adding He said: “Canadians can give themselves far more than any foreign power on any continent can ever take away.

“And by staying true to Canadian values, Canada can build new alliances and a new economy that serves all Canadians.”
