Start of article:

A B.C. family's attempt to trade in their birth certificates for access to mythic, secret bank accounts containing untold riches has prompted a scathing decision from a judge, who called their claims "incoherent, unintelligible nonsense."

Jason and Nadia Zimmer, residents of Abbotsford, B.C. β€” a city about 70 kilometres southeast of Vancouver β€” along with their daughter Taliyah, filed a petition in B.C. Supreme Court earlier this year, arguing that they were each "promised heir to the kingdom" at birth, but they have been unfairly denied their rightful property by government officials.

Their claim appears to draw on a decades-old pseudolegal scheme promoted by leaders in the Organized Pseudolegal Commercial Argument (OPCA) world, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Gary Weatherill said in a judgment posted online this week, describing it as completely devoid of any merit.

Canada does good work squashing OPCA claims. I'm very much a fan of Justice Rooke's utter obliteration of the ideologies' rhetoric back in 2012.

Nearly two hundred pages there, it seems very comprehensive.
