The only person laughing is usually the person who made the joke and it’s generally just irritating to everyone else who just wants to get on with their day. I might feel differently if we like, got the day off work for April Fools Day I guess

    a sovereign. Being formerly of the British Empire, everything is based on the same legal fiction as England, all power derives from the crown. Any laws that are passed in Canada are signed into law by either the governor general on behalf of the monarch or the monarch themselves. King Charles can literally get on a boat and force an election in Canada if he feels the government has lost it. They have generally ceded this power and only use it in a real emergency or upon the request of parliament.
