Example, the supreme court of Manitoba is now called "The Court of King's Bench" -- but the URL still says queen: https://www.manitobacourts.mb.ca/court-of-queens-bench/

Double takes abound. There should be a non-gendered form to use. "Court of Monarch's Bench" or something ;)

We also had one while Canada was being set up, so like all the treaties we signed were between her majesty and the various indigenous groups. So a lot of historical stuff is queen this and queen that, and then combine that with the past 70 years of queening and you get a very significant proportion of Canada’s history being queenly
