NATION OF PEOPLE: Why the West is still fighting Pierre Trudeau’s Canada

In the first episode of A Nation of People, Natalie St. Hilaire and Randy Royer examine Canada’s constitutional foundations and argue that Pierre Trudeau’s 1982 Constitution fundamentally changed the country.They compare pre-1982 Canada with the constitutional system that followed, discussing common law, judicial supremacy, provincial sovereignty, property rights, the role of the courts, and why Alberta’s frustrations with Ottawa may be rooted in the structure of Canada itself.
