If you put all the stupid people in one place and let them self govern, this is the result.

apatheticman posted:The invoking comes with the caveat "to the extent legally permissible" so it's near toothless with bureaucratic interpretation. The real test will be when they actually come to this point and we get to see which side blinks. Assuming that the two governments are at loggerheads which they probably won't be because by the time any of this is material we'll be well into the Pee Pee dynasty.

PT6A posted:As an Albertan it is very distressing to consider that so many people in my province voted for that big dumb rear end in a top hat. Like, is the entire province high on glue or what the gently caress went on there? Easily exploitable voting system, low voter turnout, and some well placed voter suppression makes it easy in pretty much every province for Conservatives to gain power. Alberta just happened to perfect it first.

Randalor posted:So other than Alberta just going "I don't wanna!" to anything the federal government passes, what does this mean, and what can the federal government do in retribution? The article also mentioned Treaty violations. Is this Alberta declaring independence from Canada and ultimately resulting in the new country looking like swiss cheese? If Alberta stays part of Canada but refuses to abide by the federal legislation, can the federal government just cut off all federal funds and leave them to survive off of provincial taxes? What happens is this goes to court and Alberta gets it's poo poo caved in either for paramountcy or division of powers reasons. You can't just make an act that takes from the feds power, it doesn't work that way here.

flakeloaf posted:OK but "activist judges" is also a card in their deck Maybe in Alberta, but the most activist judge on the SC was Brown and he "retired" for being a sex pest and the rest of the bench thankfully aren't partisan hacks. Garbage on individual liberties, but something like this is much bigger in scope and impact than their decision recently on provincial project approval. This would more or less tear the entirety of constitutional law in Canada apart and nobody on our bench is prepared for that

Who was the judge that wrote that crazy long judgement that was a complete, point-by-point takedown of all the Sovereign Citizen nonsense? I think he was on Alberta Appeals or something, but either way, that guy rocks.

I think it'll be less about what is legally permissible and more what Alberta thinks it can get away with. This is, of course, assuming that the next government isn't conservative and just rolls back all of the scant good things we got under Trudeau.

Google reaches deal on C-18CBC posted:The federal government had estimated earlier this year that Google's compensation should amount to about $172 million. Google estimated the value at $100 million. Hey, it's a start, wonder how it all gets f- quote:The new regulations will allow Google to negotiate with a single group that would represent all media, allowing the company to limit its arbitration risk. welp. Here's to hoping whatever body is made is reasonable I guess.

So apparently India got lucky that when they tried to do a hit on another Sikh separatist living abroad the guy arranging the hit was caught first. Cause this time they went after an American-Canadian citizen living in New York. If they had succeeded I don't see that panning out well for them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYj9rvUbeDY

It's crazy this isn't the biggest news story in both countries. The fact that hindu extremists are trying to assassinate people on Canadian and American soil 10 years ago would probably be grounds for severing international relations but with our need to have an anti China state in their sphere of influence we will probably just send Modi a google note about how killing our citizens makes us sad.

Yeah, and it's very likely that Danielle and her cadre of fanatics know this too but they rolled out the Sovereignty Act anyway because it gets the base all jazzed up. I know when the Act was first introduced it wasn't very popular with the "mainstream" populace either. Newfie posted:It's crazy this isn't the biggest news story in both countries.

It makes the Modi government look as bad as MBS and the Saudi government but more incompetent. The Liberals should absolutely be crowing about this, but they don't seem to be.
