Shortly after lunch today, King Charles and Queen Camilla will arrive at Ottawa International Airport to take part in two days of official duties crafted to remind U.S. President Donald Trump that Canada is not an American state in waiting, but its own country with its own identity, culture and history. 

British High Commissioner to Canada Rob Tinline says his government is waiting for the Canadian government to fully return before deciding whether to restart talks on a potential bilateral trade deal after negotiations fell apart at the beginning of last year.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says his caucus will be pushing measures to make Canada more affordable, safe, self-reliant and united, as Conservative MPs prepare to return to Parliament without him.

Parliament will return on Monday after more than six months and will feel a little different than usual thanks to some unusual circumstances, including a visit by King Charles.
