Canada: The National Post States

Provincial Governments Dept: The founding of Canada and the drafting of its Constitution took place 145 years ago. Provincial governments were given powers that were important to the economies, communities, and people of that time, according to The Chronicle Herald. The National Post states that should the feds or the Supreme Court get in the way of any of the proposed PQ reforms, the PQ will then only use such instances in their arguments in favour of separation. Whether or not this is true, would it not be in the best interests, not only of Quebec, but of all of Canada, to such take an opportunity to have a public dialogue about how we want our country to function and the PQ s victory is an opportunity, not for Quebec to separate but for Canada to re-imagine itself. The division of powers was made based on what the powers-that-be in those years white, affluent males thought was appropriate. The positive response by Quecois voters to the PQ s willingness to confront the feds on a variety of fronts may be evidence of how well or poorly those initial divisions have weathered the years.
