This is a response to a post by Rainer Knopff at The Line regarding Premier Kenney’s efforts to re-open the Canadian Constitution to deal with Alberta’s discontent over equalization provisions. Please follow the link below to the original post at The Line.
The problem with solipsism is, well,...other people.
The problem with Kenney's little gambit, if one recalls those wonderful heady days of constitutional confabs with Pierre, late night skinny dips in the Meech Lagoon, and dancing delirious to the Charlottetown Accordian Players, is Kenney won't be in charge of process or outcomes.
Constitutional changes are the product of negotiations. Other folks have other agendas.
Let's clarify S35, say Indigenous Peoples, post-many apologies and court cases. Let's get nationhood into the constitution says M. Legault, post-House of Commons and National Assembly acts of recognition.
So Jason, we hear you want to talk constitutional changes. Well, Old John Eh knew well enough to fill a boat with booze before you try to take George Brown dancing...
So seriously Jason, really, how drunk are you?
