The constitutional lunacy taking place in Alberta shows no signs of abating, especially now that Jason Kenney has taken his seat in the legislature. Already they have debated a motion to back<\/a> the province\u2019s fight for pipeline access in BC, but the demands they\u2019re making that Justin Trudeau invoke Section 92(10)(c) of the Constitution are wrong and bogus. Why? That section applies to projects that are of the national interest but are only within a single province\u2019s boundaries \u2013 which this pipeline is not. So here\u2019s Andrew Leach to pour some necessary scorn onto the whole thing, while Carissima Mathen, a constitutional law professor, backs him up.<\/p>\n

Was glad to hear @GregClark4AB speak in favour of using 92(10)(c): "The AB Gov't needs to step up & aggressively send that message to Ottawa, that Ottawa needs to invoke section 92(10)(c) of the Constitution, that this is
a project in the general interest of our country." #ableg<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/Me46c8RGKf<\/a><\/p>\n
