Summary
Dawson City in Canada is facing a crisis as the new mayor and councillors won’t take the required oath of allegiance to King Charles.
They refused in support of an Indigenous councillor who opposes the oath due to the Crown’s history with Indigenous people.
Without the oath, their election could be canceled, and they can’t make official decisions.
The council has asked for a different oath, but Yukon law requires the pledge. Authorities are now looking into the situation.
"Men will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest."

Bro it's literally just words. Get a big pot of white out and slop over the bit that says you have to. Look watch I'm going to do legislation without the king's oath watch the paper isn't going to catch fire when i sign it

Revolt and make them send in federal trumps. Do it! It would be slay!
the theory of 50 state trumps operating under the umbrella of a federal trump would explain a lot about trump's brain
