Why Quebec’s proposed constitution has legal experts, civil rights groups sounding the alarm | CBC News
The legislation tabled last month has been the subject of growing consternation among legal experts and civil liberties groups, who warn it would centralize power, weaken judicial oversight and infringe on individual freedoms.
NibsyI wondered how long it would take for the Alberta Sovereignty Act (#Bill1) to be challenged in court. Thanks to the #UCP's abject incompetence and failure to consult with First Nations (never mind their failure to consult anyone else in Alberta—or even to seek a basic mandate for such nonsense), the Onion Lake Cree Nation will be the first to put this thinly veiled separatist law to the test.
GG“It’s not like Ottawa is a national government,” said Smith.
Hopefully your spring election will have a broader, more engaged turnout than Ont. 🙄
Senator Paula Simons🇨🇦https://open.spotify.com/episode/5cNHpUMq7zo1dZ5KfcBSrx My #Senate colleague Ratna Omnidvar recorded this interview with me two weeks ago. Somehow, it’s even more timely today. We discuss everything from the meltdown of #Twitter and the rise of #Mastodon to the roots of #Alberta alienation and perpetual grievance. #ableg #abpoli #senateofcanada #SenCa #bill1

This is a frightening descent into autocracy. While Canada does not have the American concept of “checks & balances”, the Executive remains accountable to the legislative branch, which can act as a brake or restraining force against Executive overreach. But here Smith is purposefully removing that constraint on her power. It’s profoundly undemocratic & offensive to Parliamentary democracy. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/danielle-smith-alberta-sovereignty-cabinet-rewrite-laws-1.6668807 #CdnPoli #ABPoli #ABLeg

Hot of the press! @Lorian and I reflect on the events of the past few weeks re mask mandates, what school boards can or cannot require, and Danielle Smith's gradual descent into totalitarianism. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/opinion-alberta-chief-medical-officer-hinshaw-joffe-danielle-smith-1.6652235
