Feds announce creation of Canadian domestic trade service https://t.co/lZos5MosFh
Congrats @EleanorO_MP@PrairiesCanEN@CanadaWestFdn argued for this for decade, recently @policy_school@Ethan_Lou ran op-ed last year: Removing provincial trade barriers A for idea F for execution
From July
“However, there is a more significant change working its way through US courts…(that) will either limit President’s ability to impose tariffs–or reinforce it. This means Canada should not rush into a deal w/ Trump & should instead wait it out.” https://t.co/AMUzMO6zlC

Original IEEPA legislation required only concurrent resolution, simple majority in both houses to override executive order on tariffs. Unrelated case, Immigration & Naturalization Service v. Chadha (1983), struck use of concurrent resolutions to do this.
We are not seeking a seat at the table, we're building a new table for our shared continent. That quote was repurposed from the President of @ASU@policy_school

Below👇 is a perfect example of the shambolic incoherence of Alberta separatism.
Bruce and Keith are the leading legal theorists around Alberta separation. They’re both intelligent guys who I respect. One says separation would have no impact on treaties with First Nations. The other says separation would end the treaties and lead to a complete reset on aboriginal rights.
This is not a small detail.
The history of Alberta separatism is one of constant infighting. That’s why dozens of separatist groups and parties have come and gone over the past 50 years.
Some of the separatists are convinced that it means cold turkey secession. Others say it’s a license to become half-pregnant by negotiating a “sovereignty association” fantasy. Others claim already to be discussing with the US Administration annexation by the United States.
Folks that can’t even agree on what separation means, or its fundamental implications, have no business dragging us all into a highly months long shouting match that will leave permanent divisions, and undermine investor confidence in Alberta.
Hundreds gather on @UVA Lawn to insist that the Board and interim president not sign onto Trump’s corrupt ‘Contract’ for colleges. Unfettered free speech matters at Jefferson’s University.
@DuaneBratt Hey, at least it's not a suicidal "live free or die"
or paying the govt for you to schill for it
