g_bambino Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) No. Yes. The provinces have no right to dictate to the federal government how it spends its money within the bounds of the law, and vice versa. The European members all agreed on how the system must work. Just like in Canada. You already have what you want. Unless, that is, you have an incorrect concept of not only Canadian Confederation, but the European Union as well. I wish you would spell out, in detail, the system you wish to see implemented. It seems, though, you're unable to do so. In Canada, not all members agreed. That was thirty years ago; the law was different. Get over it. [+] Edited May 19, 2011 by g_bambino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fellowtraveller Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Canada is rather a union of nations and this is why it can be split.Wrong, Canada is a federation of provinces and Quebec is one of them.You lost all aspirations to actual nationhood 200 years ago. Get over it. But let us imagine that Canada is a union of nations. How do you propose to deal with that other Nation within Quebec: First Nations? Surely you would agree that they were here long before your people and have a right to select their destiny that is demonstrably superior to your own? What land within Quebec will be their birthright, or do you propose to cheat them again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g_bambino Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Canada is a federation of provinces and Quebec is one of them. Actually, it's a federation of eleven co-sovereign jurisdictions: ten provinces and a federal realm. As each province has its own autonomous government that derives sovereignty from the Crown, completely apart from Ottawa and any other province, it's not a stretch to say each province of Canada is a nation unto itself; in the geo-political sense, rather than the ethno-cultural, that is.

noahbody Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 We will not comply to your vision, you are not interested in our's. We need an hybrid if we want to stay together. A hybrid is exactly what is in place. Quebec receives the benefits of equalization payments though they never signed on to it. There really no need for Quebec to sign the Constitution. Not signing is more or less symbolic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g_bambino Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 There really no need for Quebec to sign the Constitution. Especially not since it's been signed on since 1867. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noahbody Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Especially not since it's been signed on since 1867. To accept the Canada Act of 1982, they were required to sign... the Constitution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g_bambino Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 To accept the Canada Act of 1982, they were required to sign... the Constitution. Actually, no, they weren't. The Supreme Court settled that matter before the constitution was patriated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
