And suppose that subsequent efforts to install someone of the pro-separation crowd as leader.

What does Mark Carney do then with his agreement with Alberta?

And how the hell does he sell it to other Canadians who are skeptical at this point?

Well, I'll just pick up on Stephen Harper.

Stephen Harper never hesitated to make a choice.

When he did the Quebec Nation Resolution, he just did the Quebec Nation Resolution.

When he decided to spend his way out of the financial crisis in 2008, he basically just went ahead and did it and explained why.

Because governing is about making choices.

And yes, if you're the opposition leader, if you're Pierre Poiliev, you're constantly watching your back.

That's your first responsibility somewhere is to keep your party united enough to get to government.

But once you are in government, you need to fish or cut bait on fundamental issues.

And that's why Stephen Harper succeeded, because he was always...

pretty clear on where he wanted to go and pretty clear in the explanations that they offered for this.

At some point, they'd like to get back to the Indigenous issue, though, because it seems too easy to say, this is a bad court ruling, as the Premier said last night, and it's all going to go away on appeal.

I think both in Quebec and in Alberta, people who think like that are in for a very, very rude awakening.

If Jason Kenney could be shown the door while he was a sitting premier at the head of a majority government.

I am totally able to assume and remember Jason Kenney angered that section of the party that is very invested at this point in the separation movement.

Daniel Smith has managed to anger both sides.

The moderate more

traditional progressive conservatives, people like the ministers who quit this week are also thinking this makes no sense.
