Canada learned of Queen Elizabeth II’s death “with the heaviest of hearts,” according to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
“It was with the heaviest of hearts that we learned of the passing of Canada’s longest-reigning Sovereign, Her Majesty Queen. She was a constant presence in our lives – and her service to Canadians will forever remain an important part of our country’s history,”Trudeau stated this in a tweet.
Queen was the country’s head of state.
As we look back at her life and her reign that spanned so many decades, Canadians will always remember and cherish Her Majesty’s wisdom, compassion, and warmth. Our thoughts are with the members of the Royal Family during this most difficult time.
