How did Canada celebrate King Charles III's coronation?
Dignitaries and fans of the monarchy gathered in Ottawa on Saturday to mark the coronation of King Charles III with music and poetry, as the Commonwealth nation unveiled new coins and stamps in his honor.
With Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in London attending the coronation itself, back in Ottawa almost three hundred officials, military leaders and others took part in the hour-long ceremony in a hall across from Parliament that was capped off with a 21-gun salute.
Across the rest of Canada -- some enthusiasts held viewing parties, but for the most part interest appeared muted.
A lone street protestor in Ottawa held a sign calling for Canada to abolish the monarchy, echoing the views of two out of three Canadians surveyed in a recent Abacus Data poll.
At the ceremony, Algonquin storyteller Albert Dumont kicked off the proceedings by recalling how "the power of the British sword destroyed the tranquility of gentle Turtle Island," an Indigenous term for North America before colonization.
"A new dawn," he said, has brought with it a new king "who promises to strengthen the human bond between the monarchy and all peoples of the Commonwealth." (AFP)

UK Police arrest 52 people during King Charles' coronation
Police arrested the leader of anti-monarchy group Republic and 51 others at King Charles's coronation on Saturday, saying their duty to prevent disruption outweighed the right to protest.
Hundreds of yellow-clad demonstrators gathered among the 10-deep crowds lining the procession route in central London to stand out from those clad in red, white and blue, and to hold up signs saying "Not My King".
Republic said its leader Graham Smith had been detained before the procession began and photos circulated on social media showing police officers seizing demonstrators' placards.
"We absolutely understand public concern following the arrests we made this morning," Commander Karen Findlay of the London Metropolitan police said in a statement.
"Over the past 24 hours there has been a significant police operation after we received information protesters were determined to disrupt the Coronation procession." (Reuters)
