    Yes, this Court challenge certainly matters to the whole country because its challenging the very basis this federation was built upon. Canada is great because it is essentially 10 individual states unified under a single flag, easing economic and military collaboration on the global stage while our internal affairs can be flexible and accommodate differently accross the VAST land Canada covers. So no, it is not the federal government’s business.

      It kind of is the federal government’s business if, as a country, we are granted certain rights and freedoms at a federal level, but a province tries to take them away. Rights that can be so easily revoked aren’t really rights at all.
