    the Queen cannot veto anything because she has not had the authority to do so since 1911 (ie before she was born; in fact, the Parliament Act was the last Act signed into Law after receiving Royal Assent before the Veto was abolished by virtue of that Act, as part of a deal to allow King Edward to retain the Throne (hence keep the Royal Privilege, otherwise we would have had our own Bolshevik Revolution and we would not be having this conversation)).

    when was the Royal Veto effectively abolished in Canada? I can tell you when and by what Act it was abolished in England: the Parliament Act 1911.

    I think you refer to the Royal Veto, which was last invoked by Queen Anne in 1707 when she vetoed the Scottish Militia Act, thus preventing the vassal State of Scotland from ever raising its own army.

    bulk mailers use franking machines which have internal counters that the post office uses to bill according to the number of times the machine has been used to issue a letter, and/or prepaid envelopes with printed postage, and for those who don't want or need that kind of expense, physical stamps that they use to apply the proper postage charge prior to dispatch. Also works for occasional posters.

    "State Versus..." Who do you think represents the State? That's right, Government.

    An individual or collective body cannot represent or be represented in a court of Law unless they have legal personality (in the case of a collective, such representation in the form of a board of Directors or other leadership structure speaking for the Whole Person, either through themselves via public statement or in the case of a legal affair, through lawyers). Thus, the concept of corporate Personhood and the further concept of corporate liability which you cannot have without a legal person (your representation).

    We're talking strawmen all over, and legitimately so (for once).
