Quebec’s oath of allegiance dodge could end in legal chaos
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-quebecs-oath-of-allegiance-dodge-could-end-in-legal-chaos/"At some point after the election – after all the members of the provincial legislature have taken their seats, after they have passed any number of bills – the whole thing could be invalidated. The members might find themselves barred from sitting. Every law they passed might be thrown out. The province could potentially find itself in an unprecedented political and legal void."

"Le PCQ est trop libertarien et encore trop nouveau, le PLQ est trop fédéraliste et multiculturaliste, le PQ veut tenir un référendum dont pas grand monde veut vraiment en ce moment, et les Québécois n’ont tout simplement pas envie de voter pour la CAQ une troisième fois de suite."

#AnthonyKoch: "Mon feeling, c’est que l’électorat québécois aimerait beaucoup pouvoir voter pour un parti qui se situe idéologiquement pas mal là où la CAQ se situe… mais qui n’est tout simplement pas la CAQ. Cette option-là n’existe pas. Ça explique une bonne partie de l’éclatement du vote." | nitter

@EdwinG @jfmezei Québec *claims* to have unilaterally inscribed into that article into the Constitution. It baffles me that the feds would include article 128Q.1 on the web version of the Constitution. (Same for sections 90Q.1 and 90S.1.)
The oath of allegiance is, de facto, an oath to uphold the laws of Canada and to function within our constitutional system. Parliament in the UK has a similar requirement for MPs.
-
@virtuous_sloth When the first PQ MNAs were elected in 1970, they refused to take the oath, and the National Assembly refused to let them sit. #RenéLévesque told them to take the oath, and there was no question about their legitimacy thereafter.
This time is different because when the new PQ MNAs refused the oath, the National Assembly accepted them anyway. Later the National Assembly passed a law purporting to abolish the requirement of the Constitution for their members.

@virtuous_sloth It's even possible that *none* of the MNAs will swear the oath of allegiance after the next election. [0] If they had previously sworn it, are they still valid?
In the 19th Century, there was a Canadian MP who participated in Parliament without having taken the oath. When that was discovered, Parliament went back and subtracted his vote from past decisions — it changed nothing.
[0] Standing up for constitutional norms and tradition doesn't win many votes in Québec.

There is, to be clear, a real possibility that the National Assembly *does* have the legal power to ignore the Constitution and set its own rules for who may sit as a deputy; parliamentary supremacy is an important principle in a government founded on the British constitutional model.
But we don't want to discover in 2028 that none of the laws passed by Québec since this Fall's election are valid.

Quebec bill exempting legislators from swearing oath to the King to face constitutional challenge
https://nationalpost.com/montreal-news/quebec-news/quebecs-break-with-king-charles-will-face-constitutional-challenge/wcm/bf9e9c02-a381-496d-9f1c-5ce6dc39055dPut aside the issue of the Canadian monarchy — the real question here is whether the National Assembly can unilaterally ignore (or modify) the Constitution of Canada. If they can't, then the acts of the next government in #Québec may be illegitimate. We need the courts to decide, and quickly.

"While we may not always agree on Quebec’s constitutional future [...] [W]e’ve gone through one of the worst regressions in quality of life in Quebec’s recent history. Quebecers know it, and they see it in their daily lives. Their purchasing power has vanished, home ownership has become an increasingly distant dream for too many young people. Our health-care and education systems are struggling [...]"
I'm delighted to see #PSPP addressing Anglo-Quebeckers.

@ChantalGuy nous offre un triptyque de chroniques (ce que @lapresse appelle un « dossier ») sur notre métropole mal aimée, unique et étonnante, #Montréal. Comme elle, j'ai passé l'été sur mon île et j'essaie d'en voir les bons côtés.

I wonder how many other municipalities and boroughs have f*cked their taxpayers similarly?
In the 1980s, there was a flood plan that could have spared Pierrefonds residents million$ in damages but city officials decided not to spend the 160K... why? So, the insurance companies can make more money? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/pumping-station-pierrefonds-residents-9.7296995 #profitsbeforepeople #taxdollarshardatwork #polMTL #MTLpoli #polQC #QCpoli

@jfmezei There were good reasons for the Québec nationalist movement — but that sign was from over 60 years ago. Once the Boomers fade from the scene, will Quebeckers accept that oppression by the anglos is essentially a thing of the past?
