King's invitation to Canada sends a message to Trump -- and the world
www.bbc.com

... Fast forward to 2025, and a paradoxical shift has occurred in Canada's relationship with the Crown.

In a transparent show of Canada's sovereignty and independence against threats from US President Donald Trump, Prime Minister Mark Carney -- a Liberal -- has invited King Charles the III to open the 45th Canadian parliament.

The move is "a huge affirmation and statement about the uniqueness of Canada and its traditions," Justin Vovk, a Canadian royal historian, told the BBC - "a theatrical display that is meant to show what makes Canadians separate from Americans" and not, as Trump has often repeated, a "51st state". ...

If Iran or North Korea wants to nuke the US they would be crazy to use a missile. Then everyone in the world would know where it came from and who to shoot back at.
