I wonder if they have this sovereign citizen stuff too. A wink and a twirl and a bit of pixie dust and suddenly laws do not apply somehow.

He’s referring to Queen Elizabeth who was the Queen of Canada until she died and now Chuck is the King of England.

When did Elizabeth say people didn't need to follow COVID rules?

Edit: I was taking the response literally that the guy had heard of the crazy queen of Canada, not Elizabeth II.

She didn’t. They’re talking about two different people. The first person mentioned a person who is claiming to be the Queen of Canada which isn’t an actual thing but the person is real and doing that and she’s a figure in Conspiracy Theory circles and she does engage in antivax conspiracy. The second person was referring to Queen Elizabeth as a bit because technically English monarchs are still very loosely and purely symbolically are the monarchs of Canada. It was a joke about how technically the lady who is claiming to be Queen of Canada is quickly probably wrong because the “Queen of Canada” died in September because if we were giving that title to anyone it’d have been Elizabeth.

Reflecting on all this shit I just said I think I’m chronically online. My brain is broken by the nonsense happening in the world, holy shit.

Yeah, the lightbulb went on after you splained it. I was being ironic, saying that the loonie might have died of COVID, I wasn't dissing the Queen.

King Charles III is also the King of Canada.

Well, the answer is simple. Whomever has the most guns makes the rules.

Applied in the high seas and still applies today.

Not that I’m happy about it, but that would sure shut up those SovCit folks.

Violence is the thing that underpins all societies. Things get bad, society can shoot people. That's what cops are. The unspoken threat for seriously breaking the law is, get taken to prison, or shot.

So, you don't have to own the guns, just back a state that does.

We do, especially in Alberta, although the term "freemen on the land" is the more commonly used title for those dorks.

I'm Canadian. I do security. I worked at the mall for a while.

And yes, we do have that nonsense up here.
