With Bill C-5 entitled Law on the Unity of the Canadian Economy, recently adopted, the federal legislator seeks to provide Canada from means to deal with the trade war decreed by the tenant of the 1600 Pennsylvania avenue. The law notably includes important discretionary powers, under the guise of the so -called national interest. This initiative nourishes Canadian nationalism One Canada, one nation. Faced with the American threat, Canadian nationalism is taking steps, even in Quebec.
However, this strengthening of Canadian nationalism implies a new centralization of powers in Ottawa. Canada is behaving more and more like a unitary country. Are we assured of the temporary nature of the Canadian Economy Unit Act which, in principle, is an exceptional law? The urgency to act in the face of the American threat should not make us forget the internal threats that compromise the future of the Quebec nation in Canada.
Canada seeks to break its economic dependence on the United States by exercising its sovereignty and political independence to defend its values, its identity and its interests. If sovereignty is good for Canada, it is also good for Quebec.
