Look, ten years ago, would anyone think that men with their junk hanging out in women’s locker rooms would be supported by a political party be anything buy a fever dream? But here we are. In the land of anything is possible.
I don’t know what Canada did. But as you know, no one is safe from Trump’s ire. He will crap on anyone if need be. But it’s not just him. Arkansas is about to pass a bill not allowing Canadian truck drivers in their state. Or Mexican.
Yes, I’ll take an America first approach with a sour President over the President that threw our borders open for anyone that wanted to enter. This is why I’ll never regret not voting for Harris no matter what happens.
WHEREAS the Supreme Court of Canada has confirmed that, in Canada, the secession of a province, to be lawful, would require an amendment to the Constitution of Canada, that such an amendment would perforce require negotiations in relation to secession involving at least the governments of all of the provinces and the Government of Canada, and that those negotiations would be governed by the principles of federalism, democracy, constitutionalism and the rule of law, and the protection of minorities;
The answer is “sort of.” The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that this would require a Constitutional amendment. Parliament thereafter passed a law that no Amendment would even be considered unless there was a clear manifestation of intent by referendum approved by the House of Commons in advance of the popular vote, and thereafter if successful, by after negotiation among the provincial governments and the national government. If that is successfully concluded, the the Constitutional amendment process would take place, which requires Approval by least seven provinces that approve the change, representing at least 50% of the population of all the provinces combined. There are 10 provinces with the largest population as follows: Ontario (38.8%), Quebec (22.3%), British Columbia (13.7%) and Alberta (11.7%) which represents 85% of the entire population. Ontario and one of the others would kill the amendment if they voted no.
So the prospect of Alberta being able to secede seems very unlikely, given the fact that it is the most conservative province, which is politically similar to say, Colorado, a solidly blue state. A secession referendum in Alberta might not even pass in that province since support runs close to only 50%
