A member of the council of a Canadian town has refused to pledge allegiance to King Charles.

According to a recent report from the BBC, Stephen Johnson – the mayor–elect of the City of Dawson, in the Yukon Territory of Canada - and newly elected council members have refused to take the king's oath and pledge allegiance to Charles.

Johnson and members of the council were sworn in earlier this month, but according to the publication, "the process has stopped" as a result of the group's refusal.

"Johnson says the denial is in solidarity with members of the Indigenous Council who have raised concerns about Canada's indigenous and crown history,"the outlet reports,"under the Yukon Act, newly elected officials must take an oath within 40 days of their election or other if their victory is deemed invalid."

Indigenous Council Member Darwin Lin, a member of tr'ondêkhwêch'in First Nation, is reportedly hesitant to take the pledge because Dawson City sits on the land of Tr'ondêk, Hunting and fishing camps for indigenous people who were evacuated in 1896 as a result of the Klondike Gold Rush.

In an interview with the Canadian press, Mayor-Elect Johnson explained that the council "cannot do anything legally necessary to us under the Local Government Act" until the council pledges its allegiance to King Charles.

"It's a bit of an awkward situation," he added. "This is done without disrespect to His Majesty King Charles. And also we do not do this, "La, La, look at us," to poke everyone across Canada, to get rid of the crown.

As people have reported, this is not the first time lawmakers from some countries in the Commonwealth have rebelled against the crown and members of the royal Family.

On May 10, Indigenous Australian mp Lydia Thorpe yelled at the king after speaking with members of the Australian Parliament.

"This is not your land. This is not your land," she exclaimed, and as she was removed by security. "You are not my king, you are not our king. You committed genocide against our people. return our land. Give us what you stole from us: our bones, our skulls, our babies, our people.

Later, Australian senators voted to blame Thorpe for the explosion. Following a 46-to-12 vote, Thorpe said she would do it again if given the opportunity to face King Charles a second time.

"If the colonizing king comes to my country again, that is, our country, I will do it again," Thorpe told reporters. "And I keep doing it. I resist the colonization of this country. I swear my allegiance to the real sovereign of these lands. You don't have some random king lock and say he's sovereign."
