When Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada called on the world’s “middle powers” to band together and resist President Trump, perhaps the most obvious ally for Canada was Australia, another sprawling, former British colony.
As Mr. Carney pulled up in front of the Australian Parliament on Thursday, there was a subtle sign of the two countries’ mutual understanding. A row of Australian Army howitzers boomed out a 19-gun salute. The countries’ shared political system meant that Australia knew that a 21-gun salute is reserved for the governor general, Canada’s head of state as King Charles’s representative.
True Story!!!🤣🤣🤣
