My inquiry today concerns the inherent right of an indigenous culture of people to self-govern their affairs and to do so in a manner that is in harmony with the sovereign nation in which they exist. In Canada, this principle of expression finds its roots in the oldest law, the Magna Carta. -

Trudeau Attacks Calls to Close Borders: “There Is a Lot of Knee-Jerk Reaction That Isn’T Keeping People Safe”
The road to Canada's COVID-19 outbreak, Pt. 3: timeline of federal government failure at border to slow the virus Author of the article: David Staples • Edmonton Journal Publishing date: April 3, 2020 • 29 minute read Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks from behind a podium bearing the hyperlink to a federal government website about the coronavirus disease during a press conference about COVID-19 in front of his residence at Rideau Cottage in Ottawa, on Sunday, March 22, 2020. JUSTIN TANG / THE CANADIAN PRESS Pt. 3, March: Trudeau attacks calls to close borders: “There is a lot of knee-jerk reaction that isn’t keeping people safe” COVID-19 exploded upon the world in March 2020, shutting down much of the economy in Europe and North America by mid-month, just as it had already done in Asia in January and February. But early in the month, the Liberal government in Ottawa clung to the notion that it must not close its borders to travellers, or quarantine them when they arrived, even as that was by then standard practice in Asia, and even as infection brought in by travellers were spreading in Canadian towns and cities. Yet by the end of the month, the Liberal policy did a complete about-face, shutting down our borders. In Parts 1 and 2, we looked at the multi-partisan in effort to dig in and question Canada‟s border policies on COVID-19. In Part. 3 of our series, the timeline is extended into March, detailing the key quotes and debates leading to the federal policy change. -

In fact, we have asserted our country’s role on the international stage, increased transparency and accountability, signed a historic Health Accord with the provinces and presented a clear picture of the Canada we envision for the future. One can measure our Party’s success by the devotion of individuals, such as yourselves, and we are very thankful to have such a wonderful group of dedicated women working for the betterment of our country. You can all take great pride in having upheld our Party’s principles, while contributing to the advancement of the political initiatives on behalf of all women in Canada. I look forward to joining you and discussing our objectives while renewing several ties of friendship with many members and organizers present. Please accept my warmest regards and best wishes for a most productive and exciting Convention.

If we exercise the constitutional authority which the Senate possesses under the British North America Act, we are told that we are doing something that we have no right to do. I do not know how to satisfy our critics.” The late former Senator Carl Goldenberg, Senate Debates of January 11, 1974 Many senators are working hard to close a credibility gap that was created by many difficult years and prove the Senate’s public value as an appointed upper chamber.
