With the death of Queen Elizabeth, King Charles III became Canada's new head of state.

Canadian governance expert Philippe Lagassé discusses the changes we can expect over the days and weeks to come. And Indigenous environmental activist Dahti Tsetso talks about meeting with Canada's new King earlier this year and shares her thoughts about his stance on climate change.
