Same questions, different answers?: Premier Jason Kenney spelled out the mandate of a new “fair deal” panel set up to examine ways the province can seize more powers from the federal government and make Alberta more independent of Ottawa.
Coming up this week: Trudeau is set to meet with both opposition leaders and premiers. On Tuesday he’ll sit with both Andrew Scheer and Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe. The latter brings a list of demands, including a one-year pause on the carbon tax. Trudeau will meet Bloc leader Yves-François Blanchet on Wednesday, followed by NDP leader Jagmeet Singh on Thursday.
The battle against Quebec’s Bill 21: During the last election campaign federal leaders were loath to be seen challenging Quebec’s secularism law banning many public employees from wearing religious symbols but some are challenging the law in court, including the English Montreal School Board, which itself is embroiled in controversy. Paul Wells on how the school board plans to win:
The EMSB’s Angela Mancini isn’t impressed. “I think the separation of state and religion has been going on for a while, regardless of whether teachers wear symbols in a classroom,” she said. “In my mind it goes back to fundamental rights. People are allowed to wear the symbols that they choose to wear.” In a school setting, parents and students should rest easy, she said.
Stick to your guns Kenny ..Give Trudeau on of these things 🖕
I'm a teacher. I had to choose between teaching WW2 stuff or environment protection stuff. I chose the latter. Now everyone who Greta is and that she is 'stop shopping'. Sorry, but there are only so many hours in a day to transmit important messages.

The son of a couple who chose to die together wants Quebec to change its organ donation systemThe son of a Laval couple who ended their lives through medically assisted dying is calling on Quebec to change its organ donation program in order to increase the amount of donors. It’s a good idea as a lot of people simply forget and those who object are more likely to remember to opt out Sounds good! A voice on one side says, “Yes!” More organs available more lives saved! Hopefully though we won’t hear one day something sinister That a life that could have been saved wasn’t because an organ was needed and the poor bugger was in the wrong place at the wrong time Yes! I had a kidney transplant 27 years ago! So grateful, still going strong and healthy. Too many on the waiting list. Why take your organs to heaven; heaven knows we need them here.😘

Diane Francis: Kenney’s plan to get Alberta out from under Trudeau before he completely destroys itKenney’s workaround emulates Quebec’s near-sovereignty autonomy, aimed at escaping fed policies rigged to bribe Quebec with Alberta money Funny twist of Irony. It was the CPC_HQ, stephenharper, and jkenney that created the mess he claims to find himself in.... yet AB folks keep voting for them... Because it’s not diversification away from tar sands that will save Alberta ! 🤦🏽♂️ Remember the Stone Age did not end due to lack of stones...no pipeline will save the oil industry from obsolescence. Albertans voting for Kenny are literally hiding their heads in the tar sands. Just more NP con crap! Your editorial predictability is tiring!
