The new council in Dawson City, Yukon, cannot make official decisions until the issue is resolved.

Summary

Dawson City in Canada is facing a crisis as the new mayor and councillors won’t take the required oath of allegiance to King Charles.

They refused in support of an Indigenous councillor who opposes the oath due to the Crown’s history with Indigenous people.

Without the oath, their election could be canceled, and they can’t make official decisions.

The council has asked for a different oath, but Yukon law requires the pledge. Authorities are now looking into the situation.

    I have no idea what you’re trying to say. It would make a huge difference, especially to the indigenous people of Canada.

        Okay? I never said it would. I just hate being a citizen under a monarchy. I’m really confused about what your issue is.
