King Charles coronation
Canada PM Justin Trudeau to leave for London to attend King Charles’ coronation on May 6
Ottawa/IBNS: Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will head next week to the United Kingdom to attend King Charles’s coronation, according to an official in his office.
The crowning of Charles and his wife Camilla, who will become Queen, will reportedly take place at London’s Westminster Abbey on May 6.
Reported to unfold in front of about 2,000 guests, the King’s coronation is expected to be less lavish.
When asked Friday whether it’s time for Canada to hold a referendum on whether or not to sever ties with British Monarchy, Trudeau who once called Queen Elizabeth "one of my favourite people in the world,” said he believes Canadians are seized with bigger issues.
“There are obviously a number of people who feel that a different system would serve us better. Those people could make those arguments, but what those people can’t do is agree on what alternative would be better,” he was reported speaking from the Global Citizen NOW summit in New York.
“I think diving into constitutional negotiations over an issue like this, when so much focus is on how we support Canadians, how we create a strong economy for the future — our budget was focused on affordability, on creating great jobs and delivering on healthcare and dental care — these are the things that Canadians are most concerned about,” Trudeau has said
