Got angry at Winston and this spineless government. Had a little cry. Wrote to my local (nat) MPs again pleading that they use their position of power to reconsider this cowardly position. #nzpol #symbolicgestures

4/10 Symbolic diplomacy spoke volumes. Trump wore a Canada-US friendship pin alongside his standard American flag pin—an unusual gesture.

Carney donned his Order of Canada pin. The Prime Minister's Office confirmed the friendship pin wasn't a Canadian gift.

10/12 Royal couple left in electric BMW, not American Lincoln used previously - symbolic gesture amid Trump's auto tariffs. Charles wore Order of Canada medal prominently. Camilla sported Queen's Own Rifles brooch as their colonel-in-chief.
