On Quebec unilaterally enshrining its status as a nation in the Constitution: Jody Wilson-Raybould’s view

To be clear, this pattern of lacking leadership is not limited to Indigenous issues.  Nor is it limited to a single leader or particular political party.  In the same week Canada learned about the 215 children in Kamloops, we saw members of Parliament sit mute and accept the idea of a unilateral amendment to our Constitution rather than debate critical constitutional and legal questions about the future of our federation.  We have a crisis of leadership throughout our system, wherein political parties render their duly elected members impotent.[1]
