And there is only one answer to a traitor.

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

To the gallows, as per Canadian law.

That's only in the military, it's just a life sentence in civilian court.

Relevant law that hasn't updated to HIS Majesty

I live a block away from the tavern where the trial of the bloody assize was held. Traitors friendly to the US in 1814 were put on trial, then brought to Burlington to be fitted for custom hemp neckties. Then, their heads were cut off and placed on pikes and paraded around Ontario villages. We didn't have a traitor problem since then.

These cosplay cowboys are all foreign agents and if they were supported by China everyone would be freaking out.

Why do you think Canadians have a worse view of China than America?

We're raised hating the US, China is just an afterthought.

We are not raised hating the US that is ridiculous. We might come to despise certain administrations but we don't hate the majority of Americans, just a sorry stupid few.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

Just the ones led by Democrats and Republicans right?

Or are you a Zoomer? Surprisingly they seemed to like the Americans.

In theory, someone could kill the king and their lawyer could argue it isn't high treason because the law specifies HER majesty. I'm pretty sure they'd still be convicted of murder though.

Thanks for the info.

My life sentence for them would be short. Because a bullet would enter them fast.

Wait I thought we put them to the geese? Maybe let's do both to be sure.
