And that creates real concern for me as well.
Like that really starts to weaponize the not just the emotional dynamic of having been respected by the lack of respect by Canada because of the failures of Meech and Charlottetown or lack of respect from Ottawa itself.
coming out of the 91 recession which goes into the 95 referendum but now there are clear sort of tectonic shifts here in the dynamic between the united states and quebec that'll be safeguarded that do are we better off actually still being in confederation and who's going to articulate the case in favor of it you think about 1995 you have chretien obviously he didn't run a particularly strong campaign however he was a son of quebec he had been fighting for quebec for one-third of canada's history at that point right
Comes into federal politics in the 1960s, all the way through the 1990s.
By then, that was about a third of Canada's history.
So you have Chrétien, and then you have Charest, and you have Dion, and you have others who are passionate believers in Canada, who are pure l'enfant que fan québécois, in French, in the French language, taking the fight to them.
Who is that in Canada now?
who is the francophone like who is that there are some people whose names will come to mind but you know the the a team is quite the a team that was the a team and even back then the a team was was shaky um these are all reasons to be anxious i think
and others would be better suited to answer that question, but, you know, I don't know what the answer is, but I see the holes in the game would be what I would say, right?
I think it's a reminder that, you know, when Prime Minister Mulroney, one of his good deeds that he did before he passed was that a thumping point of his, I mean, he had a major health scare about five, 10 years ago before he passed.
And one of the thumping points that he returned to kind of his parting reminder to the country was the number one obligation of any prime minister is national unity.
Before you deliver a piece of mail, before you build an inch of highway, before you do anything, the first thing you got to do is be focused on
national unity as your defensive strategy as a prime minister.
He didn't take the second step, which is sort of concede the reason why he's arrived at that was because he had his own disappointments and failures as a prime minister.
He didn't say the way that Meech and Charlottetown were handled and his obsession about it led to the creation of the Reform Party and the Bloc Québécois.
I could say that among, frankly, the failures of Justin Trudeau is that we've now led to the dynamic in
Alberta and possibly in Quebec, maybe an overreach some, I think, but I think it's credible certainly to say with with Alberta.
But, you know, but it speaks to the fragility that exists in the Canadian Union.
And I think Brian Mulroney's reminder of that, I think, is an important dynamic.
And I, I worry that as we in minority parliaments, especially in.
