What would it mean? Because from where I sit, I can't think of anything that a provincial government could possibly do that would be more meaningless or worthy of being ignored by the feds.
There are plenty of "fighting dirty" tactics that can be employed in retribution for the dirty tactics employed by BC, if that's what you want in a government. This isn't one of them. It's totally ineffectual, yet very, very expensive.

Question: Do you vote for Alberta to leave Canada if section 36 of the Constitution Act, 1982 is not repealed?
Yes? or No?
I mean I spent 60 seconds on this, so maybe there's a better way to put it but I am pretty sure this would cause massive turmoil.
I have commented about this strategy before on this forum. I do not think people realize how incredibly risky and damaging this could be.
But I say again, in a post-Brexit world (and watching what they are going through right at this time period) people should stop dismissing this as something that is silly and could never be done or would have no impact.
