Canadians just as stupid as Americans, study finds
2022-05-18 04:16:15
The self-proclaimed Queen of Canada Romana Didulo, who claims that she secretly runs Canada "behind the scenes," recently issued royal decrees to abolish Canadian income tax and declare that water and electricity in Canada are now free of charge. She also told her 70,000 Telegram followers to stop paying their utility bills.
Many Canadians did just that.
One woman has repeatedly told her fellow true believers that she’s "stopped paying hydro, water, natural gas, property taxes, line of credit, and my credit cards."
One follower wrote to Queen Romana asking "When will the service companies stop shutting off our services for nonpayment? I just had my water supply shut off today in Stratford, Ontario."
Another wrote "Dear Queen Romana, I received a 24-hour notice for the power bill. Should I make a payment? Or will it be shut off?"
If someone told you that they were the "true" Queen of Canada and that you should listen to what they say and follow their commands, most people would write them off as cuckoo.
As any Canadian should know, the true Queen of Canada has been Elizabeth II since February 6, 1952. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is Queen of Canada and Head of State. The Governor General is the representative of The Queen in Canada. The responsibilities of the governor general have evolved over time, along with the evolution of Canada as a sovereign and independent nation.
As all executive authority is vested in the sovereign, royal assent is required to allow for bills to become law and for letters patent and orders in council to have legal effect. While the power for these acts stems from the Canadian people through the constitutional conventions of democracy, executive authority remains vested in the Crown and is only entrusted by the sovereign to the government on behalf of the people.
If the Canadian people don't smarten up, she may not trust them with that power for much longer.

A Day in the Life of a Beverotologist
It was starting to look like a very boring Saturday, trapped as I was in the suburban wastelands of the outer Bay Area, so I called my Able Assistant (AA) and proposed that we perform some Spocktail field tests. For some time I've been working on creating the quintessential cinematic beverage and even tho' SMRL does most of its testing during nocturnal hours, this seemed an opportune time to roll up the sleeves of our labcoats and get some science done. While the beverotology creation tested this day (The Neurotoxin) must be deemed a success, this article focuses more the journey of the experimenters, rather then the science of beverotology.
