The Constitution Nobody Wanted
Québec Premier François Legault has introduced a draft constitution for the province in the legislature.
However, Canadian provinces are not supposed to have individual constitutions, and the government did not consult the people on its content.
The British North America Act, Canada's original constitution, and its updated version do not provide for provinces to have their own constitutions.
It's really about politics.
Legault's move is seen as an attempt to gain right-leaning nationalist support ahead of the 2026 provincial election.
He claims it will help Québec affirm its national character, but the true motives are questionable.
Author's summary: Legault introduces draft constitution for Québec despite lack of provision.
