1982
Last night, Gilles Duceppe said that the Constitution of Canada would never have been patriated in 1982 against the wishes of Ontario, like it was with Quebec.
It's not a Quebec vs. Ontario issue. Duceppe conveniently neglects to mention that René Lesvesque, QC Premier at the time, would never have signed it anyways because he was a separatist.
Separatists don't sign constitutions of countries they don't want to be a part of.
Why doesn't anyone make that point more forcefully?

He's playing to emotions and it's a load of crap, to be frank.
How the hell could a separatist be expected to sign the Canadian constitution?
Seriously.
Hell no. That's their game. They are in the business of setting Canada up to fail so they can get political mileage out of it and produce the "winning conditions".
Separatists do not operate in good faith. Ever.
Because the last session didn't produce a single law that had to do with improving the federation. Hardly big stakes.
If you never voted with the gov, no one would vote for you because they would think you are being disruptive for the sake of being disruptive.
On big stakes issues that could possibly demonstrate that federalism works for Quebec, i.e. budgets, they never and will never vote with the gov't.
Point is that separatists have a vested interest in demonstrating that Canada sucks ass.
Ask Brian Mulroney. He'll tell you all about it.
