What is puzzling me is why it is referred to as the Royal Society of Great Britain. It's the The Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge, commonly referred to as the Royal Society. (To disambiguate from the Royal Societies of Edinburgh and New Zealand one would normally refer to it as the Royal Society of London.)

Long ago, while debating AGW, I ran across the usual denialist arguments, but in his case the "Halifax Institute for Climate Studies"
was cited.  I was puzzled, as until quite recently I had been working in Halifax, and had never heard of this "institute".  None of my contacts in Halifax (not a big city) had heard of it either.
As best I can tell it was a room in someone's house.
There appears to be no "Royal Society of Upper Canada".  I suppose I could found one, create a web site, and use it to push whatever nonsense I wish, with the imprimatur of a "Royal Society".   If the other Royal Societies cared, they could probably sue, but also probably wouldn't bother unless my organization became a real problem.
Cranks crave nothing more than respect.
Which is why I have some grudging respect for George MacReady Price. He was offered "professorships" in various Christian institutions, but always declined - as a true believer he didn't want to waste time.
