King's Canadian speech doesn't mention you-know-who1 day ago Share Save Sean Coughlan Royal correspondent Reporting from Ottawa Share SaveWatch: Key highlights from the King's speech in CanadaKing Charles III was given a heartfelt standing ovation in Canada's parliament in Ottawa after a historic speech in support of the country staying "strong and free". Outside the Senate building later, another voice from the crowd shouted: "Thanks for coming King Charles" in a voice full of emotion - as the King himself had sounded at the end of his speech. But what was never mentioned was what the speech was really about: US President Donald Trump. Claims by Trump that Canada would be the 51st US state hung over this speech, but his name was never uttered. Inviting King Charles seemed to have paid off for Carney, who afterwards said how well the speech had been delivered.
