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

    Relevant law that hasn’t updated to HIS Majesty

      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.

      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.

            Just the ones led by Democrats and Republicans right?

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

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