you should consider donating to the Canadian constitution foundation (https://www.youtube.com/@theCCF) then or something like them because our constitution actually does have a decent protections for separation of power between provinces and the federal government and getting that back to what is actually in the constitutional documents (as opposed to what has been twisted by decades of bad decisions to favor the federal government) would go a long way in creating the kind of competitive multi-polar environment that keeps America strong vs the uni-polar corrupted junk that Canada has increasingly become.

I would argue that a lot of our constitutional separation of powers between provincial and federal governments is antiquated and causes more harm than good today (this is particularly true in education and healthcare).

I would argue that the unipolar nature of Canada driven by the federal government's usurpation of provincial powers is causing us far more harm than any harm caused by provinces exercising their constitutional rights. What we have now is a weird system where almost all the power resides in Ontario and Quebec, with an extremely weird Faustian bargain of payoffs and bribes to Quebec (primarily financed by the other provinces) to keep them engaged in keeping the power center out east, concentrating a majority of the extractive parts of business (banking, head offices) and government there, which is causing major stagnation and loss of productivity in Canada. We need to get to a more multipolar setup so that when the east decides to do something insane it does much less damage over the time period they are pulling their heads out of their arses (this is basically what keeps America so strong but because they are already multipolar you can replace "the east" with New Yorkers, Californians, Illinoisians, Floridians, etc) and our constitution should have set us up for being exactly this. What happened instead is the federal government manufactured a bunch of rights they don't have and made us all worse off.

Thanks, I'll definitely take a look!
