@modus_pwnenz @howardanglin @colbycosh And a lot of this for their internal politics as well. I think Smith, like Bourassa, needs pursue reforms that seek autonomy short of separation.

@Mark_S_Harding @howardanglin @colbycosh Sure, I think they should be more serious about it though. If they want to amend the constitution then they can introduce legislation to do so and then convince the other provinces to join in on the fun.

This is an interesting article in Policy Options by @charlesbreton on the debate over provincial influence in judicial appointments, focusing on Quebec and Alberta. In my third-year course on federalism🧵
English
@modus_pwnenz @howardanglin @colbycosh Fair. But I think it’s appropriate for individual provinces to advocate for constitutional change. Ideally, that happens through constitutional means.
English
@Mark_S_Harding @howardanglin @colbycosh Alternate solution here is that both are wrong and the federal government is to blame for not stopping this decades ago when they capitulated to Quebec.
English
In that sense, the article unintentionally illustrates the kind of double standard Alberta often faces in Canadian constitutional discourse. @howardanglin @colbycosh

That's absolutely right. We have programming that's unique in Canada, and I am so proud of what we've built in Great Books @StThomasU. I hope that @susanholt and the Liberal Government understand the importance of preserving excellent things.
