Example, the supreme court of Manitoba is now called “The Court of King’s Bench” – but the URL still says queen: https://www.manitobacourts.mb.ca/court-of-queens-bench/

Double takes abound. There should be a non-gendered form to use. “Court of Monarch’s Bench” or something ;)

    I think the gender neutral that gets used the most is “crown”, but maybe that has a different connotation.

    More importantly, though, Queens are rare, we just happened to had one during a huge period of technological advances, etc.

    But we already have a king, his heir the kind lined up, and that king already has a male heir. Obviously shit can happen, but we’re pretty far from another queen in any of our lifetimes…

      We also had one while Canada was being set up, so like all the treaties we signed were between her majesty and the various indigenous groups. So a lot of historical stuff is queen this and queen that, and then combine that with the past 70 years of queening and you get a very significant proportion of Canada’s history being queenly

      Odds should be about 50/50 now that succession is gender neutral by default.

        Barring anything substantial changing we’ll have kings for at least the next 70 years (George will be about 80 by then)
