Many Canadians blame the federal government for issues under provincial control. Understanding our confederation is key to fixing this democratic disconnect.
Absolutely correct on this issue and recommended solution. Smith is taking full advantage of this lack of civics understanding. Ignorance is absolutely dangerous. I can hear the wailing "nobody told me ..." as provincial healthcare tanks as it's privatized by Smith or Ford or Moe; as religious charter schools take-over public schools with your tax dollars; as provincial pension funds are invested in declining industries like O&G; as home energy costs sky-rocket ...etc.
It's rather curious how some premiers crave power without responsibility.
So, we need to take advantage of social/digital media and educate the masses.
I don’t have much faith in the masses demanding better of themselves. And we’re so far down the path of division that reintroducing civics to education will be perceived as “indoctrination” by the federal Liberals. I can almost write the script for the backlash.
If we do not revisit how Canadian civics is taught, people will rely on social media for civics lessons to the point where they think the US Constitution and American federalism reflects how Canada works.

They won elections by blaming Justin Trudeau for breaking Canada when in fact those premiers did much of the breaking at the provincial level
