The "Yukon Refusal" article is here:
Yukon council refuses to pledge allegiance to King Charles - National | Globalnews.ca
"Stephen Johnson, the mayor-elect of Dawson City, said he and the four-member council refused to take Canada’s official oath to the monarch on Nov. 5 because of the Crown’s history with Indigenous populations.
He said council hasn’t been able to proceed with municipal duties and is eagerly waiting for the territory’s Department of Community Services to respond to its request to take an alternative to the Oath of Allegiance.
“We can’t do anything legally required of us under the Municipal Act … so we are sort of, kind of council, and I’m sort of, kind of the mayor,” Johnson said.
“It’s a bit of a sticky situation.”
Perry currently is "Honourary President" of RCGS About | The Royal Canadian Geographical Society
and says he feels there is a covenant with the indigenous peoples, the Crown and Monarchy going back to Queen Victoria.
