Quck question to drive the point home: How do you address a Canadian judge?

[–] sailingbythelee@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

The proper form of address for a judge in Canada is "Your Honour". A justice of the peace is supposed to be called "Your Worship", but that's cringe so "Your Honour" is also acceptable.

Honestly, that depends on if it's KB or just provincial court. If it's provincial court, it kinda depends on the judge/region. Alberta provincial judges seem to like being called "Sir", not-so much in Saskatchewan or Manitoba
