I don’t know about you, but ever since the pandemic, I have no sense of time. With some major news events, I might be shocked to discover something occurred two years ago when it seems like only 6 months have passed, or conversely, similarly shocked to find out something else occurred just 3 months ago when it feels like a year has passed.
Dear Emmett, please resist the temptation to use phrasing such as “since the pandemic”. It is demonstrably not over. It is so not over that one might almost conclude that we are still very much “in it”. So much in it that Ontario wastewater virus levels are today - before Christmas - *higher* than they were last January *after* Christmas. Phrasing such as “since pandemic restrictions were lifted” is awkward and uses too many words but has the virtue of accuracy. Happy Holidays to you sir.
The chief question continues to be why in the absence of justifiable Disallowance of the Alberta Sovereignty Act, which redefines Canadian federalism by mandating that laws passed by the Parliament of Canada are subordinate to provincial legislation and provincial cabinet decision, has the Government of Canada not proceeded with a constitutional reference or challenge or secured at least an opinion regarding the validity of Disallowance under sections 56 and 90 beyond one year from enactment of offending provincial legislation?

Remarkable decline in the number of cases decided by the SCC in 2023. What does this mean for the Court, and for development of law in Canada
