[Canada] Canadian Politics Redux

Viper seems to forget that Grallon was a big supporter of camps.

Not really just an "Anglo" trait but if it helps you all sleep at night to think you are somehow better (as your government must constantly invoke the Notwithstanding Clause) go ahead.

Fellers, I think we can all agree that we're all somehow better than the Americans. Let's just leave it at that?

No, we are fooling ourselves if we think it can't happen here. A reminder that 30% of conservative party members are Maga supporters.

If by stick in the mud, you mean a person willing to say uncomfortable truths - Yes, I accept that as accurate.

On the topic of it could happen here, the CBC podcast Front Burner did an episode this morning on how MAGA is influencing the Alberta separatist movement.

If you are worried about me calling out the fact that the Quebec government uses the Notwithstanding Clause because their legislation violates the constitutional rights of Canadians who are not in the majority in Quebec, well that too is a fact.

So let's not fool ourselves.

Progress on decoupling from the US. From the Globe

India has long viewed Canada as the "younger brother" of the United States, slow to approve foreign investment and major projects, but this perception is changing under Prime Minister Mark Carney, the Indian high commissioner to Canada says.

Ottawa and New Delhi are preparing to launch talks on a comprehensive trade deal as the Prime Minister makes plans for a March trip to the Indian subcontinent, his first.

The high commissioner, Dinesh Patnaik, said in an interview on Tuesday that in India's view Mr. Carney has been carving out a more independent role for Canada, including with his much-lauded Jan. 20 speech at the World Economic Forum.
