Or, the second is that the process at work is in effect a deliberate back door amending of our constitution and in the process,an elimination of citizen entitlements, a playing out of the Sylvia Ostrey dictum. Canadians, when asked, have consistently said leave the constitution alone. So the power brokers are at work behind the scenes destroying incrementally what belongs to the people. Now bells ring regarding all the tampering of recent years with our constitution. Any elected people who may have had and continue to have any part in the process of restructuring have not been apprised of the constitutional protections and have not thought to consider them on their own initiative, or worse yet,are complicit cooperators.
Citizen rights appear to have been completely left out of the equation.
But I am reminded of Sergio Marchi's statement on CBC months ago that Canada is now a corporation and citizens are shareholders. Clearly the principle that there is a public good and a public duty have disappeared from the seat of power. The urgent immediate task as citizens is to close ranks. A first priority of action must be to conduct significant fundraising efforts to support the legal challenge simultaneous with all other efforts. It is only the legal challenge that can attack and get at this process.
