Quebec's new Opposition leader says he's ready to begin major talks that would facilitate the signing of the 1982 Canadian Constitution.Is Quebec now in some sort of constitutional limbo?
M. Dumont peddles the same old fantasies that others have tried before. It would seem his version of something he calls autonomism is just the same old stuff we have heard before the Parti Quebecois and others.
Perhaps we should call it automatonism since that is what the federal government would likely be reduced to, a mindless follower of the dictates of one or all the provincial premiers.
And purely for local automatonists, a flashback to Morningside and a 38 minute discussion during the last effort to foist on the country the mythology of Quebec being outside the constitution.

The problem is that Harper has given every indication that that's exactly what he wants Canada to look like.
I always say what does it matter of how the federation is set up as long as the services that people need are met. I really don't see the significance of having a Centralized Government as being key to that principal. Who cares how many Governments we have as long as people needs are being met may it be one, two or 13.
Since no one is talking about centralized government, Mohamed, your concerns are already addressed.
Sadly, the proponents of "all power to the Premiers" hold out centralization as the only alternative.
That's as silly as their autonomism excuse that Quebec is now not part of the Constitution.
