Because he's technically the King of Canada as well. But the biggest difference is that we've always been under the British Monarchy since the beginning, whereas the US president wants to take us over. I'm no fan of the Monarchy but there's the devil you know...
Also, throne speech is made by the Governor General normally, not the PM.
