Nova Scotia Premier Darrell Dexter is ringing the bells, trying to alarm Canadians to the fact the federal government is trying to withdraw funding from areas that are generally provincial responsibility under the Constitution.
You can see a lengthy interview Dexter gave to Evan Solomon of CBC’s Power and Politics on the Mother Corp’s website. “They are pursuing what some people call a disentangled federalism,” Dexter warned. Dexter described the country in a curious way, where the federal government pays for things and the provincial governments do them.
It’s curious because that isn’t what the people who wrote the constitution had in mind.
