Canadian flag is on the left, the provincial flag is on the right, Canadian Coat of Arms above the Judge. And everybody knows that a Canadian Tux consists of blue jeans and a denim jacket! Cheers eh Mike! 😁🇨🇦

I like how that judge did something we saw one of your newer judges do - "You are not John Doe?" - "No I am John of the family Doe" - "Ok then John Doe did not appear in court and a warrant will be issued for his arrest". Just like "proof of jurisdiction" or other sovcit handbook checklist items. Maybe schedule all sovcit cases at the end of the day so they have to wait - counter their nonsense right away

The Judge bowing when entering and leaving a court room in any Commonwealth Country Court is standard procedure.

LMAO from BC Canada I subscribed! This movement drives me up the wall! WTF? These people are crazy with narcissism. They never had a spanking in their life.

I like to call them “Freemen on the Lam”. 😂

OMG, another judge abandoning ship. It's almost like these judges have never captained a ship before.

This might have already been answered.. The reason the Judge bows upon entering/leaving the bench area is that crest which appears on the wall behind them.. They're technically bowing to honour the Queen as technically it's still her authority through which courts operate. All officers of the court from the top down give a little bow to that crest or at least to the concept of "honouring the Queen's justice." Canada is still a member of the British Commonwealth and Elizabeth II is still their Queen under their constitution.

Can they wear hats in court in Canada? The officers should have removed him when ordered to.

Damn, this is old school. This was one of the first sovcit videos I saw. I remember laughing like, "does he seriously think he's in authority to dismiss, let alone preside over his own case?"🤣🤣🤣

I am Canadian and I guarantee this matter did not end here. Our system just doesn't work that way.

Mike - The Judge is bowing to "The Queen's Justice."

One thing I don't understand is, Why the people who claim "Moorish" citizenship are not asked for a passport or visa when they confront the police or courts. If they cannot present such documents, then they should be detained until their citizenship can be verified.

Hi Mike. Tim from Canada. The bowing is likely similar to what happens in a Canadian parliament. Speaker bows to the house and vice-versa as a sign of respect. In court, counsel will bow to the judge who represents the queen and the judge to counsel. .... and, I'll admit it now... I'm literally wearing a red and black plaid shirt while watching this tonight...awkward...

I Googled him. The judge returned and set a court date. He lost and was fined $260.

I know that in Australia both judges and solicitors/barristers bow entering and leaving the court as a sign of respect to the court

We bow to the judge on entering and existing the court room here in 🇬🇧 UK.

Not to correct your legal knowledge, but if this is a Canadian sov-cit, this obviously takes place in an Admirl-Eh-ty court. I'll show myself out.

“I don’t have all day.” The bailiffs apparently do, judging by their pace at 3:43.

The worst part? Their are thousands of losers who will watch this video thinking that somehow his argument is valid! Smh

Until i watched your channel, i thought the U.S. was the only nation that had to deal with this insanity.

Hello Mike, Found this in Wikipedia...Sorry it's a bit long. "In 2012, Wilfred Keith Thompson (later known as Kate of Gaia[1][13]) and two others were arrested by police in Guelph, Ontario, Canada, charged with breaking, entering and theft as well as firearms offences. Thompson had previously made headlines for informing City Hall, local police, Guelph MP Frank Valeriote, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and other officials he is "an autonomous being not controlled by others". One of his co-defendants, Trevor "Red" De Block, refused to identify himself to the court, though it was said that his criminal mug shot, computer records, tattoos and other information confirmed his identity. "I object," De Block said, adding that he was not the "rightful owner" of his name, but refusing to clarify or participate in legal proceedings. "I don't bow down to bail . . . to false gods," he said, and rejected assistance from the appointed lawyer. Thompson and De Block were denied bail.[30]"

That's how you know they're lying. Lol. They say they have better things to do, yet they pull this stuff. 😂

In British courts all Judges including High court judges will always bow to the court as this confirms that the Law is above all people including the judges.

The important thing to keep in mind is even though they always try and show the court has no jurisdiction then always show up for court when told.

Here’s the rest of the story. The judge set a court date of September 2010, my boy Keith was found guilty and fined $260 CAD

I always get so angry when judges order a SovCit into custody and then they manage to talk their way out of it. It reinforces their terrible behavior. Officers coming to take him away and he goes "Can you please step back?" and they DO. It's so disappointing.

Yes Mike - the Canadian flag on the left, the Red Ensign of Ontario on the right, and the Canadian coat of arms in the center of the back wall would lead me to believe it's Canada, as would the fact it's from the free Manitoba website.

I think "Canadian Tuxedo" refers to blue jeans and a denim jacket. The plaid would have to be a "Minnesota Tuxedo" in my eyes.

Funny thing the last Admiralty court was held in Canada in Nova Scotia back in I think 1904, before the court was disbanded by the crown.

Seems pretty obvious, the Judge is simply following the long established nautical tradition of bowing to the Bow of the ship when leaving the Bridge. 🧐

This took place in Guelph Ontario in 2010. Buddy's name is Keith Thompson. Coo coo la bonza!

A Canadian Tuxedo is an all denim outfit - denim shirt, denim jacket and denim pants. It's also official Canada Day attire and by law you have to wear it on your wedding day! Canada flag is on the left, provincial flag (Ontario or Manitoba) on the right and coat of arms above the judge. No matter the country, these people never stop to shock me how little they know about the legal system. Great videos and cheers from Halifax Nova Scotia, the greatest part of Canada :)

OMG! I just found your show and love it!

Keith is a few fries short of a happy meal! He declares his case dismissed…. He can declare that he’s a giraffe but that don’t make it so😂😂😂

Thanks I needed it.

Greetings from Sault Ste Marie Ontario Canada 🇨🇦! Can't believe I missed your stream and you mentioned my hometown!!! As you know, I border Sault Sainte Marie Michigan (Twin Cities!) which is I'm sure what you were referring to...anyway I am a huge fan and love your videos! You and @NatalieLaywerchick are my faves and even though it's US law, I find it very interesting...and humorous! Thanks again!! PS....Love the plaid for a Canadian stream and the "dirty stash"! Keep up the great work! 🥰

Glad he got dressed up for court! I hate the current norm that people don’t dress appropriately for court, it displays to me non respect ✊

The most common word they twist is “employed”. Legal text often talks of anyone employed driving a vehicle/motor vehicle (etc). They see “employed” to only mean as a job or for payment, while any rational person understand that words frequently have multiple usages, which in this case, employed merely means to make use of or occupied with.

Hey, I had no idea it was so easy in Canada. Just dismiss your own case and walk out😅😅😂🤣😆😅😆

“And I thought you were so rugged!!” “Common law jurisdiction,” “The judge has abandoned ship,” “That’s not my name,” “I dismiss this case...”. Bingo!! I’ll take my Applebee’s gift certificate, now.

In my country, refusing to identify is automatic arrest

"The judge abandoned ship!" Lol. That one got me!

As a Canadian, I can say I own about 20 flannel shirts. And that's only because I gave away another 10. Lolololol

He should never been allowed to get away with this.

Yes it is SOP to bow in all commonwealth countries. Those in court bow to the judge and the judge bows to those in court cf Rumpole of the Bailey and Crown Court

When I was a bailiff, he would not have been permitted to keep his hat on in court either. Perhaps it's different in Canada.

Very nicely stated and concise. I've never heard it put so well before and I understand their nonsense better now, thank you!

Wouldn’t be nice if judges could just say. Tough luck buddy

I like this explanation of "freemen" or sovereign citizens. I have always wondered if it has ever worked. I assumed not, but can't think of any logical reason why the movement persists if it doesn't work.

If a 'freeman on the land' gets thrown out of a court, does he have to call the coastguard for being thrown overboard? One of the greatest philosophers of our time (judge Middleton) would say: We're all travellers adrift on the seas of time in this universe.

That is a Canadian dinner jacket Mike 😂😂

I think the bow is to the Crown (capital deliberate). UK judges do similar. The Crown is the State under which executive, judiciary and legislature all sit. Crown is distinct from the person who happens to be head of state at that time

The Judge is absolutely no nonsense

I’m a sucker for dogs, but Amy is absolutely irresistible! Thanks Mike!

The judge trolled him with the disingenuous bow lol, I hope he got an arrest warrant issued and he resisted arrest when they served it

I cut down trees, I eat my lunch, I go to the lavatree. On Wednesdays I go shopping, and have buttered scons for tea!

Aw…I’m glad you learned the word fulgent. ☺️ My little photo was taken standing by Lake Michigan. I caught the livestream, but the beginning was cut off.

The fact that sovcits are adults is the most interesting part. I can better understand if sovcits were rebellious young people who don’t know how the world works. But people who are 30+ must know that what they’re doing is wrong.

"He's abandoned ship. Case dismissed" 🤣🤣🤣

If you turn up the volume and slow it down when the judge stopped and bowed, you can hear him saying: “ get lost hoser”…..

Noted, the Judge and his Clerk are wearing traditional Canadian robes with the white cravats . .

He should’ve been ARRESTED! You can’t let these idiots take control of the court! It makes them feel like they won! 🤬🤦‍♂️

Thanks Mike for posting the second video. It answered a lot of questions about why they believe that crap. The first video was awesome too.

One time I saw a Free Man win his case. He had no postal address. He lived off the land. had no use for money. walked everywhere. Charge was fishing without a license. Case was dismissed

Thanks for showing the explanation. Now we can laugh with footnotes!! LOL

It's like paradoelia, but they are hearing words with hidden meanings rather than seeing faces on a potato chip. The ironic twist is that they call their vehicles "vessels" which is a maritime term in itself.

4:14 It is the Sheriff's Service. They are the organisation tasked with movement of prisoners to and from court, as well as court security. The are sworn peace officers with the power to arrest.

Abandon ship....Hoser overboard.

I've always been told a Canadian tuxedo is all denim outfit

8:35 *Meads v. Meads*, written by Rooke J, is freely available on CanLII, and I call it mandatory basic reading for sov-watchers. A little dated now, but it's a perfect primer on the subject.

I always thought a canadian tuxedo was all denim

Mike I was really expecting you to come from 36th district Court 😂

I'm a lawyerjack and I'm okay. I'm at work all night and in court all day. **Heeee's a lawyerjack and he's okay. He's at work all night and in court all day.** I meet cli-ents. I help them out. I sometimes deal with tort. On days off I do youtube, and watch Sov Cits in court. I'm out of lyrics, but that was fun while it lasted.

Check out the Judges tie/scarf/whatever they call those things in British courts

He was yelling like his Hockey Team lost....

I live in a logging town on Vancouver Island. You will rarely see a plaid shirt in town/camp. If you do see one, It's a button shirt worn over a t-shirt. Just to let you know

Bowing - Court officials in the UK bow to the Crown which is displayed in every court. We have Freemen on the Land in the UK. The courts have a special protocol for dealing with them because they are often disruptive, but when they go to court they always lose. In the UK we do have a specific Admiralty Court which deals with admiralty law. It is separate from the civil, military or law courts.

A Canadian tuxedo is a jean jacket with matching jeans. It's acceptable to add a bolo tie and cowboy hat if you're from or in Alberta.

The woman in the background: “That’s how it’s done…” 😂😂 yeah lady, that guy not coming back before the judge will definitely solved all his problems.

There is a provincial Canadian flag just to the left of the brown door.

Canadian tuxedo is denim jacket + denim pants.

The difference here is we have the Crown you have the DA, we have a judge we have a judge, pretty much everything else is the same except we have the Canadian flag and a pick of Liz, you have the American flag and a pick of George.

Why is he allowed to wear a hat. If he runs into the wrong judge or Court Officer, he would not have been permitted to even speak to the Court.

Thanks for the fun one. As A Freeman of my own house (when the wife isn't here) I appreciate it 😎

Wonder how he explains why he is getting arrested for failure to appear in court

That's not a Canadian tuxedo, that is just a plaid shirt which was common at one point in Canada, not so much anymore. A canadian tuxedo is a jean jacket, shirt and pants, which was common in the 70s and early 80's.

A sovereign citizen's town announced alternate-side parking after a snowstorm. In response, the sovcit said, "they have no jurisdiction over where I park my vessel. It stays in the garage. They'll have to go through me if they want to tow it."

Do love you in that Buffalo plaid. Trendy yet so “He’s a Lumberjack!”

That is Guelph, Ontario, one of my local courts and yes, we call Sov Cits "Freemen". I love when they're there- trainwrecks!!

Wilfred Keith Thompson was charged with twice violating a Guelph Ontario bylaw that prohibited parking on your lawn rather than your driveway. The hearing in the video took place on 1 Sep 2010. When the judge came back from the recess, he adjourned the case to 30 Sep 2010 since nobody admitting to being Wilfred Keith Thompson had appeared for the case. 29 days later, he was convicted in absentia and fined $260 for the two violations. It was reported in the local newspaper, the Guelph Mercury Tribune. The person who filmed the proceedings got very lucky. It is against the law to film court proceedings in Canada without obtaining permission from the judge and it is rare to get such permission for any purpose. It certainly isn't given so that you can then post it on KZfaq. The penalty for doing so is a fine of up to $25,000 or imprisonment of not more than six months. The Crown chose not to pursue charges. The court decision mentioned in the second part of the video, containing the analysis of the Freeman on the Land/Sovereign Citizen litigant, was Meads v. Meads, 2012 ABQB 571. It was written by Associate Chief Justice JD Rooke of the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta. The analysis has been cited over two hundred times in subsequent court decisions dealing with Canadian FoTLs or Organized Pseudolegal Commercial Argument (OPCA) litigants as the analysis named them. It put a real damper on the Canadian sovereign citizen movement.

Did someone take the concept of "social contract" and just run away with bad logic from there?

Im just "Keith"...Judge...Okay NEXT! I dont understand why these people think they can waste time and resources.

Definitely Canada judge and they always bow when leaving the bench in case you didn't notice that is what the judge did upon taking a break from the court

PSA: There are apps you can download to boost volume. At least on a laptop you can. Life changer for me.

The girl says" that's how it's done" lol

It appears to be in Manitoba.

It looks like he's wearing ladies jeans lol. Takes after Michael on The Office! 🤣😂

Oh no. Their website is gone. ☹️

Freeman on the land mean you can hunt them in the wild.

Whereas, it is my understanding that light bulbs work because little tiny miners carry their lamps inside the bulbs and thus one can have light all day and night if they choose. You don't want to cause any tiny miners to lose their jobs, do you? When a bulb burns out, that means all the mine's resources have been exhausted.
