Y’know, used to be if you wanted to verify if someone was the Queen of Canada you could just reach in your wallet for a CAD20 note or in your pocket for a loonie and check if she looked like that.

Just don’t take it to the AI graphics thread!
Australia now has a four cop death by shooting toll from sov cits, which is a lot of shot dead cops by Australian statistical standards (a lot of guns but not much gun crime).
Dezi Freeman is still a free man, on the loose in rugged hills and possibly aided by a like minded conspiracy theorist or two.
They think Australia has a secret second constitution and that the country has secretly become a corporation which means something or other.
That sounds like the train of “thought” which holds that the US government is actually a Delaware corporation or something, and has been since the Income Tax was ratified or something (even though the Income Tax was never ratified since Ohio isn’t really a state. Or something.).
Yeah along those lines. Because Australia registered with the US SEC so as to do boing important financial stuff, cookers got whipped up into a frenzy.
Cookers are Australian antivax/sovcit/etc types, as in their brains are cooked by conspiracies.
I’m Australian, and have a couple of anti-vax/conspiracy-nutter/sovcit types in my family. I’m pretty sure they’re law-abiding and don’t have guns, but you can never be too sure…
The Aussies always have the best slang!
By my admittedly somewhat lazy research, seven Australian cops have been shot dead in the last ten years, and four of the shooters were sov cits. So over ten years close to 60% of perps lethal to cops were sov cits.
And then folks complain when they see how cops act during any encounter with a SovCit.
Actually I just realised I mis-spoke and consequently committed an egregious statistical blunder. It’s incorrect that four of the shooters were sov cits. Two of the shooters were sov cits, but they shot two cops each.
So actually only 2 out of 5 of the perps were sov cits, but sov cits killed 4 out of 7 cops killed.
Still, given that presumably a relatively miniscule number of Australians are sov cits, it’s utterly disproportionate. They are a real danger and as @crowmanyclouds says they are going to get handled using the point of a gun by Australian cops from now on I expect.
The Queen of Canada is scheduled to be back in court in Saskatchewan for a hearing today.
Judging by cult postings, it looks like she’ll be pulling the classic your-courts-don’t-have-jurisdiction-over-my-royal-free-woman-on-the-land-self business. That judge better watch his step.*
Authorities locked up and posted the school where the cult had been living as unfit for habitation. But it looks like they found a place to stay elswhere in Richmound.
Those poor townspeople.
I can’t speak to the details of Canadian courtroom procedure but were I a US judge at the first such outburst I’d find her in contempt, sentence her to 30 days, and have the bailiffs immediately haul her back to jail until mid October when we’ll revisit the current case. Lather rinse repeat until she learns, I retire, or she dies of old age.
