No one may want new constitutional negotiations, fearing a national unity crisis, but Canadian politics may be careening toward reopening the unamendable constitution.
Thank god! Years ago I read an article about the patriation process and I was struck by such an obvious failure in process that it seemed set up for bare passage, not brokering a consensus - the consultation timelines, etc. I'm so glad read that someone else thinks it isn't ridiculous to expect to be able to change our laws, and that even if we don't think we need to now, at some point, Canada will also need to change and we're better off to map out how in advance.
