.SusanDelacourt: Are new provincial demands for power just the same old Ottawa-bashing — or something darker? via torontostar
Welcome to the Canadian constitutional cafeteria. Please remember to stack your trays by the door when you leave.
In the 2022 version of constitutional drama in this country, provinces are looking at the supreme law of the land as a pick-and-choose buffet of authority, which premiers can select or reject as they like. “We need a more autonomous approach to be a stronger province in Confederation,” the policy paper states.
“This would not be different in some respects to how the province of Quebec operates. It would mean taking action without asking permission and unapologetically asserting ourselves where Saskatchewan has jurisdiction. This may take the form of simple action or operating in the spaces where we have existing claims to authority under the Constitution, or as was said by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, may take the form of unilaterally modifying part of the Constitution as Quebec can.
“I think we’re seeing tremors in the federation and in the Constitution and they’re all rooted in kind of different things, different contexts, different frustrations, different aggravations, but they have a common theme — this kind of rejection of the role of the courts,” Sandilands said.
