Ok, you're right of course, the BNA act did function as would a constitution if we had had one ... but i thought the wording a bit funny especially since it was directed at Duceppe ... and it just wasn't a constitution, there's more than a semantic difference imho, never mind who wrote or passed it.
Notice how Day and Duceppe both carefully specified how they would not enter a coalition government? ... the logical coalition is between the two of them, they could form a national government easily and their views on increased provincial power lean the same way, if not in the same terms, lol .... but they must placate the hard-liners within their own parties.
No, as i've said before, i don't think Day being an evangelical disqualifies him from office, not at all ... but it does qualify me to comment on the fact until all threat of him imposing on me his own personal tenets are removed ... can't deny i'm uneasy with it ... the reason i am most critical of Day is that i see the Alliance as the least of the evils on economic grounds, so will likely be inclined to vote that way, but the 'keep your religion in your pants' message will need to be stated loud and clear and continually throughout the campaign and the rule of the party, should it come to that. |
