NOW the true billing hours come in and we change only one each day.

Probably have to wait to get something in the mail for those.

The change is automatic.

Section 2.1 of the Court of Queen’s Bench Act, RSA 2000 c C-31, states:

Name of Court
2.1 The Court shall, during the reign of the Queen, be styled the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta and shall, during the reign of the King, be styled the Court of King’s Bench of Alberta.

That is correct. For the first time in seventy years, it is God Save the King.

The big metal sign outside is going to be expensive to change.

This is where using gender neutral pronouns would save us a lot of money.

I wonder if they still have the sign from the George VI era?

In my opinion, it's fortunate that she has passed and not see that witch becomes queen.

I dunno, but if I'm in the 'Giant Metal Sign' industry...my prices just jumped by 50%.

Because you are lawfully obligated to change the Giant Metal Sign and I'm going to take my 'Royal' cut.

Its days like today that I lament not being in the 'Giant Metal Sign' industry.

I would also wager that of the 10 mentioned, most gained their wealth due to their advantageous geographic locations and colonial exploitation, and not because a divinely appointed figurehead at the top of the political structure.

Canada notwithstanding, the 10 nations mentioned in that article are also among the most ethnically homogenous nations in the world, which also helps with social and political cohesion.

Plus, 4 of the 10 on the list are all part of the Commonwealth, so they all have the same figurehead monarch who barely spent any time in those countries (other than the UK).

The last time the Queen set foot on Canadian soil was 2010. Which should tell us all we need to know about the value the monarchy brings to Canada.


If we were to drop the monarchy, there's no reason to think we'd abandon the Westminster system of government. Presumably, we would do what Barbados did when they switched to a Parliamentary Republic late last year. Their Head of State switched from being the Governor General, appointed by the Queen at the recommendation of the Prime Minister to the President, who is elected by the Parliament. In fact, the first President of Barbados was the last Governor General of Barbados.

That was a big fail, it actually wouldn't be that hard.


"God save The Regent"

"The Court of Crown Bench"

The Queen is dead, long live their Majesty!"

although grammatically I'm not 100% certain which there/they're it is.
