 counterweights - DEJA VU ALL OVER AGAIN .. Justin Trudeau weighs in: Is Quebec a Nation?
Justin Trudeau’s father, that is to say, took this position because he believed it was unfair to Canadians in the rest of the country to ask them to both constitutionally recognize Quebec’s unique circumstances and make greater room for the French language in Canada outside Quebec.
The ultimate trouble with Pierre Trudeau’s theory of Canada in this respect was that he wanted to turn the rest of the country into the kind of bilingual Montreal of which he was such a flawless native son.
And if Justin Trudeau’s father had the guts and courage and gritty determination to finally give us the Constitution Act 1982 and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, against all the odds, surely some leaders of the rising generation will be able to move us a few further steps ahead.
