Soverignty Acts

[WiltonRanch]

The SA is fantastic. Gets rid of that pesky democracy by representation that stands in the way of progress by allowing changing of laws without going through the legislature.

Long live the Queen. At least the 1% of Albertans that voted for the Queen

You got to know its bad when someone like Kenney quits citing concern over political polarization.

At least Saskatchewan first act works within the Canadian constitution. Hard for the SCC or Feds to shoot it down. The Alberta act though I agree with in principle doesn’t pass the smell test. The rule of law is necessary wherever you sit politically. We complain about how the rule of law was broken when the ema was enacted. To the credit of Alberta if the law is considered to be enacted the legislature has to debate and agree before it is sent to cabinet. This is what I’ve gathered.

You can read right.

Its exactly the same clause evoked in s45 of the constitution that Quebec has used time and again.

During the EMA this year, Quebecs govt passed a resolution that they would not recognize it. And nobody said a word.

Quebec has used that clause and the NWC to ban hijabs. Nobody said anthing.

In fact Trudeau has endorsed the use of s45 for provincial autonomy.

Well we know i can read, but you can't read between the lines. Kenney said it best.

To his credit, outgoing premier Jason Kenney understands the risks involved with Smith’s strategy. As he asked rhetorically during the most recent episode of his weekly radio show, “If the government proposes (a law) saying that we will rip up contracts, we won’t enforce court orders, we’ll ignore the rulings of the Supreme Court, we’ll choose which laws we enforce, we’ll ignore the Constitution, well, what investor in their right mind would put money at risk in Alberta?”

No longer will the courts decide what is constitutional, Alberta will skip that step and let the exalted ruler decide.

Quebec seriously ruined their economic path allowing by their separatist actions to ruin their economy, instead Ontario became the economic leader.

You're a short term, me-me-me thinker, so the SA fits for you. Still want to be just like Quebec? You probably do.

Edit: and also the Quebec Premier still has to amend legislation through the National Assembly. Quebec Premier cannot order provincial entities to violate federal laws.

Edit Edit: and to their credit, SK has not changed their democratic legislative structure.

Good thing that act will be on the books shortly. ABs going to need it right away.

Here are some details on a northern AB land grab by the feds.

think this would be a good time for the areas in sask that have been supporting the areas that do not have oil or potash to ask for a new deal from the province.Health care in the southeast is terrible.If your RM does not have oil or Potash you are probably the Quebec of Saskatchewan.

Kind of a straw man argument. You’re comparing apples to oranges.

Wel all the commies at the trough are squealing today. Worried about the gravy train coming to an end.

Can’t wait until smith puts a knife in that equalization program. Bet Quebec announces separation the next day.

Maybe Quebec could take their share of the federal debt with them when they separate ? After all , fair is fair.
