King to Open Parliament
- Thread starter Serryah
- Start date
It will be nice to see. Rather than have someone opening your parliament on behalf of your monarch you now get to experience what the British experience - the monarch himself opening your parliament. It'll be much more enjoyable and entertaining TV viewing.
It will be nice to see especially for those of us not born the last time it happened under Queen Elizabeth.
Just wish he would NOT meet with the Diapered Dictator and legitimize him while he plays "I rule the World"

Justin Trudeau is usually known for his choice of novelty socks.
However, it was the former prime minister’s selection of footwear during King Charles and Queen Camilla’s visit that raised eyebrows on social media.
The 53-year-old Trudeau attended the Senate building for the opening of Parliament and, on first glance, his outfit appeared fine.
The blue suit was bright yet muted, and a pale blue shirt with a navy and silver tie completed the look.
But the shoes?

Despite the popularity of casual trainers, many keyboard warriors felt the pale green suede Adidas Gazelles with orange detailing had no business being part of his ensemble.
Perhaps other colour combinations or neutral hue could have worked? Maybe baby or navy blue, red (go, Canada!), yellow, or even a darker forest green? The mint shade, however, clashed.
And while we quibble about colours, many stunned social media users took issue with sneakers in general given that Trudeau would be in the presence of royalty and other VIPs.
“Totally disrespectful,” one person wrote. “Trudeau is a clown.”
A second user on X commented: “Always the narcissist seeking attention, Trudeau wore green and orange runners.”
Another X user suggested they were “retirement runners.”

A fourth fumed: “Society needs to see class and decorum in leadership. Where is the etiquette in both dress and manners nowadays? Don’t they have advisers?”
They continued: “Trump fussed about Zelenskyy not wearing a tie, but he was right. Standards/respect is learned. Society today is a sloppy mess.”
The former PM was joined by his mother, Margaret Trudeau, at the event Tuesday.

Once they took their seats on the Senate floor, Trudeau’s former political rival, Stephen Harper, was on his right.
Charles was invited by Prime Minister Mark Carney to formally open the new session of Parliament with a rare throne speech.
The monarch declared that Canada faces a “critical moment” as the system of global trade that made it prosper undergoes a shift, noting that the world is now “a more dangerous and uncertain place” than at any point since the Second World War.
In the months since his retirement in January, Trudeau has given followers a glimpse of what he has been up to as a single dad.
In March, he shared a selfie from Canadian Tire with a cart full of items.
Trudeau has also shown support for his 17-year-old son, Xavier, as he embarks on a music career.
“Proud to see my son @xavtrud pursue his dream,” he wrote on X earlier this month before sharing that the music video for “Back Me Up” is now on YouTube.
Trudeau has three children — Xavier, Ella-Grace, 16, and Hadrien, 11 — with Sophie Gregoire Trudeau.
The couple announced their split in August 2023.

That would defeat the purpose of wearing the sneakers though. It wasn’t a choice to be less noticeable.
