A Constitution that Flips the Default Today, governments can act unless a right in the Charter stops them. Bruce Pardy argues Alberta should reverse that logic: a constitution that grants government only the powers explicitly listed and leaves everything else with the people. In that model, a Charter becomes... show more

Alberta separatism rising because Canada is 'broken' and 'can't be fixed': Bruce Pardy 🍁 "They're looking for a different solution, and that solution is to leave. And I agree with them about the necessity for doing that," said law professor Bruce Pardy. On last night's episode of The Ezra Levant 🍁🚛 Show, law professor Bruce Pardy joined the show to discuss Alberta's rising independence movement and its potential future implications. Pardy discussed the likely thought process behind the rising number of Albertans who see independence as the most logical path forward after years under a federal Liberal government. "Canada is broken. It's become apparent, through the COVID period, but not limited to COVID, that there's something seriously wrong in this country in all different kinds of ways," he said. "And second, it can't be fixed. It seems like we've arrived at a place in this country, both in terms of our constitutional order and the way we're governed and the way that people think even, that contemplating any serious reform of the way the country works is not on the table," Pardy continued. "So if the country is broken and cannot be fixed, then what else do you got? And what appears to be the case is that in Alberta there's some kind of critical mass of people who understands both those two things ... And therefore they're looking for a different solution, and that solution is to leave. And I agree with them about the necessity for doing that," he added. The Alberta Prosperity Project is currently leading a citizen-led petition drive to reach 177,732 signatures in order to trigger a referendum on independence later this year. Proponents of Alberta's independence cite the province's untapped economic potential through natural resources and unfair treatment by the federal government as key reasons for seeking separation.

A gentle reminder from Bruce Pardy that it was the Stephen Harper government in 2012 that repealed the sections of the Criminal Code that allowed residents to use "whatever force is necessary" against trespassers. AKA Castle Doctrine. Maxime Bernier, who was part of the government at that time, clarifies that in an effort to strengthen gun ownership rights, the law was changed as a compromise to the left as a political solution. In hindsight, this was a compromise that should not have happened, and we would be better off with the old laws that we had.

SMITH: "There's an imbalance in the way Ottawa treats the provinces and Alberta in particular. Quebec has managed to get a different relationship -- we should be moving towards that model as a more decentralized government, which is I think what our constitution envisioned."

At the Forever Canada rally in Red Deer, one of Thomas Lukaszuk’s people followed me through the crowd and said he was there to “protect” me. I wasn’t sure how to take that, so we joked about it a little. But then we talked about something serious. A few days earlier in Edmonton, a Forever Canada supporter attacked an Alberta independence supporter who was peacefully waving his flag on the side of the road. The man tried to rip the flag away and pushed him toward traffic. That could have ended very badly. We both agree that that kind of behavior is wrong, and the person responsible should be in jail. That matters. We can disagree about Alberta independence. We can debate equalization, immigration, pipelines, federal control, Ottawa, the constitution, and the future of this province. But political violence has no place in this debate. Peaceful Albertans have every right to wave a flag, support a referendum, ask questions, and advocate for Alberta independence without being assaulted or threatened. But that is where we are at right now in Alberta. Full video:

This clip is... A lot... Because Danielle Smith claims that the Senate "usurps the role of the provinces", that no sitting senators should be there because of their "complexion" and then claims that Alberta used to have a senate. Alberta did not. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

This is a moment to return to the basic principles of our Constitution and the essential sources of America’s greatness, including that We the People chose a government of laws — not of men.

🇨🇦🍁 LOL! Alberta will hold a referendum to exit from Canada: "Should Alberta remain a province of Canada, or should the government of Alberta commence the legal process required under the Canadian Constitution to hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada?" — Premier of Alberta, Danielle Smith on the referendum in October, 19 "It's time to have a vote, understand the will of Albertans on this subject, and move on." — adds *Alberta is an oil-rich province, so they want to sell oil to the US directly, without Canada. What will be the Ottawa's response?

WATCH | An affiliate member of Boys Dza Mdara says that Resolution Number One argues President Mnangagwa is loved by the people and should remain in power until 2030, even though the Constitution limits his term to 2028. Using the same reasoning, he claims that Paul Tungwarara is also loved by the people and should be co-opted into the ZANU-PF Central Committee. This argument goes against the ZANU-PF Constitution, which does not allow such a move.

Privacy is essential to individual liberty. I delivered recorded remarks at the Privacy Symposium held in Venice this week, underscoring the importance of protecting Americans’ civil liberties and fundamental rights and freedoms guaranteed by the United States Constitution. Our nation’s founders understood that a government with unchecked power that is being abused to control and surveil its citizens is fundamentally not a government of a free people living in a free society. I am committed to upholding our God-given rights and freedoms enshrined in our Constitution, ensuring the safety, security and freedom of the American people.

Lara Logan explains how Islam commands the “overthrow of the existing government” Muslims migrate to Lara Logan “Islam is not a religion. It's a civilization. This is a very significant difference because people think that under the First Amendment of The United States that the protection, the freedom of religion means that you have the freedom to use religion to enforce and advance a political ideology, even where it means the overthrow of the existing government. And that is not the case. Islam defines itself as a civilization, and religion is really part of that, but it is not the defining thing, and why does it matter so much? Well, because the civilization of Islam is governed by Sharia. And by that, I mean Sharia law. Right. And you cannot have Sharia law coexisting with the constitution and American law. Those two things are diametrically opposed in every single respect. They're not even vaguely tied to each other — This is so what we have allowed in The United States, we have allowed first amendment protection. — Islam is a political organization that uses the religion as a cover and as a front”

#WATCH | Delhi: BJP MP Deepak Prakash says, "Those who today swear by the Constitution, carry the book of the Constitution and do politics in the name of the Constitution, the very same Congress people, the very same government was the one that murdered the Constitution in 1975. At that time, citizens were deprived of their rights, democratic institutions were murdered, and during that period, many political parties and people fought against the Emergency to save the Constitution. The Congress government imprisoned and tortured lakhs of people inside jails, therefore Congress should not talk about democracy or the Constitution... Whenever Congress comes to power, it murders democracy and eliminates constitutional institutions."
