'No Canada for you!' King Charles needles Trump during state visit

Britain's King Charles let Donald Trump know exactly how he felt about the president's desire to absorb Canada as the 51st state of the USA.

Charles made what Reuters called "a symbolic visit" to the commonwealth nation Tuesday "to show support" in the face of Trump's threats of tariffs and annexation.

The King addressed Canada's parliament in what was dubbed "the throne speech" for the opening of the government's 45th session.

“Democracy, pluralism, the rule of law, self-determination, and freedom are values which Canadians hold dear and ones which the government is determined to protect,” Charles said, adding, “We will unleash a new era of growth that will ensure we don’t just survive the ongoing trade wars, but emerge from them stronger than ever."

Pro-Canada social media celebrated the King's remarks.

"No Canada for You: King Charles' Canada remarks seem to rebuke Trump," declared the account of Really American. "Forget about the 51st State."

Sunday Mail editor Sarah-Louise Robertson posted, "Strong words from #kingcharles at the Canadian Parliament on the importance of democracy and rule of law. He has spoken of Canada’s history and importance of its future relationship with British monarchy. A rebuff to Trump’s attempt to join it to the USA. [Canadian Prime Minister] Carney looks pleased.

"I am not by any means a royal watcher. However, King Charles visiting Canada at this point in our history is particularly important," wrote the account of @mjeso. The King of Canada giving the speech from the throne to open Parliament is a clear signal to those who advocate 51st state foolishness!"

Supporters were particularly delighted when Charles read a line from Canada's national anthem.

"King Charles III: 'As the anthem reminds us: The True North is indeed strong & free!' Canada's sovereignty is recognized! Got that Trump? Thank you King Charles & PM Carney for inviting His Majesty to address Canadians. I'm so proud of my [Canadian flag emoji]! Vive le Canada! Long live the King!" wrote Canada Strong.

Occupy Democrats wrote, "King Charles III of the United Kingdom enrages MAGA world by proclaiming that Canada will remain 'strong and free' amidst Donald Trump's efforts to turn it into the '51st state.' And it gets even better... 'The ‘True North is indeed strong and free,' Charles said during an address on the first day of Canadian Parliament."

Charles's visit marks just the third time a monarch has delivered the throne speech to Canada's parliament.
