@iyliess Who says things like that? I live squarely among "traditional" Conservatives, all they keep saying is that there was too much immigration and TFW rules are abused.

being a leftist in canada means at least 3 times a week you have to explain to a mark carney voter that immigrants working at time hortons don't belong in a woodchipper

@redanddead12345 @reiaposting They’d never let us have it because Alberta won’t let the rest of the country phase out the fossil fuels it uses prop up its Texas cosplay economy.

@reiaposting theyd never let us have a cross country train because then the west would be able to fight for its rights easier better to have them come as a motor vehicle convoy, brand them terrorists, and mass arrest them, than to actually have people arrive by the tens and hundreds

I feel in a weird spot because I dislike Carney far more than I ever disliked Trudeau and I realize a lot of Canadians are the exact opposite.

@ToseNeke Ezra is a Foundation kid. He could have been from before the Storm. In which case he’d only be 32.

@gljsauer @acoyne You’re right we should stop wasting money propping up Alberta’s attempt to cosplay Texas. The other provinces are expected to have actual industry that makes money, not spending 1.5x the sale price to extract oil from the tar sands.

@acoyne Well if the Feds treated every provinces the same maybe your point would apply. Quebec gets what they want the rest not so much.

And the provinces? Do they have any responsibility to stay in their lane? They’re happy to take federal money, indeed to instruct the feds how to spend it, but then balk at living up to the conditions. They continue to balkanize the internal common market, 158 years after Confederation was supposed to have ended the practice, even as they demand a say in international trade negotiations. They pass flagrantly unconstitutional laws asserting jurisdiction they do not have, then denounce Ottawa’s “domineering federalism.” They run roughshod over the Charter of Rights, then complain that it is the federal government that is violating the 1982 “bargain.” The notion that in this, the world’s most decentralized federation, the problem is an overbearing federal government — when that government is paralyzed even to enforce the little jurisdiction that it possesses — is … hard to square with reality.

When Canadian federalism works it is a negotiation. The problems occur when Ottawa forgets the provinces are partners in our national project, not subcontractors. @JohnIbbitson amazon.ca/Breaking-Point…

@AntonioTweets2 Hopefully The Republic of Western Canada can get it right the first time. A monarchy free, unilingual, constitutional republic. Alberta followed by Saskatchewan northern and interior of BC and the Yukon.

Forbidden Knowledge: What I Discovered About Canada’s Constitution Let me put this bluntly: most people in Canada have never read our Constitution. Honestly, before I dug into it myself, I didn’t know half of what was actually in it. We grow up believing we live in a democracy, that we’re free, and that our government answers to us—but once I actually read what’s written in the Constitution, that entire idea started to fall apart. If I walked into a room full of Canadians and asked, “Who here has read the Constitution?” maybe a few hands would go up. And if I followed it with, “Who has read the entire thing—not just the Charter of Rights and Freedoms?” those hands would probably drop. And that blows my mind, because this isn’t just another document—this is the most important legal foundation of our entire country. It determines who holds power, how authority works, and what limits—if any—exist on government control. Yet somehow, through twelve years of mandatory education, nobody ever told us to read it. Not once. We memorized explorers, Confederation dates, and provincial flowers—but the one document that governs our rights, freedoms, and political structure? Completely ignored. And once I finally read it, the reason became pretty clear. Our Constitution isn’t a clean, unified document like the U.S. Constitution. There’s no “We the People.” It doesn’t declare that citizens are the source of authority. Instead, it’s a collection of old British legislation. The core piece is the British North America Act of 1867. Yes—our foundational law was written in Britain, not Canada. Then in 1982, the Constitution Act was added, including the Charter—the only part most Canadians even know exists. But here’s the part that shocked me the most: according to our Constitution, the ultimate executive authority in Canada belongs to the King. Not the Prime Minister. Not Parliament. The Crown. Right now, that means King Charles III is, on paper, the top of Canada’s governmental structure. Of course, he doesn’t physically run things—but the structure representing him does: the Privy Council Office. Most Canadians don’t even know it exists, yet it’s one of the most powerful institutions in the country. The Clerk of the Privy Council—someone no one votes for—holds enormous influence over how the government actually functions. And here’s another piece I didn’t know until I looked into it: your elected Members of Parliament don’t swear an oath to you, or even to the Constitution. They swear allegiance to the King. Judges do too. So does the Governor General—who, by the way, has to approve every law before it officially exists. Nothing becomes law until the Crown signs off. So what kind of system is that? Because if we’re being honest, it doesn’t look much like “rule by the people.” It looks a lot more like rule over the people. The Charter gives us rights—yes—but only to the extent that the government decides they are “reasonable.” If rights can be suspended, limited, or overridden whenever authorities say so, then what we have aren’t rights—they’re permissions. So yes, Canada has a Constitution—but it’s not what most people think it is. It wasn’t built on the idea that the people hold the power. It wasn’t written by Canadians. It doesn’t start with empowerment—it starts with monarchy. It protects the Crown’s interests first—ours second. And once you realize that, you start to look at this so-called democracy very differently. Because the truth is: the system we live in isn’t as free, independent, or citizen-controlled as we’ve been led to believe. That’s the part nobody taught us in school—the part we were never meant to question.

@AntonioTweets2 Why did you think the Queen was on the money your whole life? How did you pass the civics class that’s required for a high school diploma without knowing this? Where were you when the Queen died and a lot of people saying this is a good time to sever Canada from the crown?
