John Carpay: Nationalism Means Not Being Selective in Defending Sovereignty
Canadian sovereignty is once again an issue with the possibility of Canada becoming an 'associate member' of the European Union.
TL;DR
- Canadian sovereignty means Canadians are fully in charge of running their own country.
- It involves Canadians, not foreigners, passing, repealing, and amending federal, provincial, and municipal laws.
- Sovereignty is violated when foreigners influence Canadian affairs or rules.
- The commentary criticizes 'fair-weather' sovereigntists who protest selectively.
- These individuals protested "fifty-one" (presumably referring to a trade deal or foreign influence) when President Trump was involved but remained silent on the World Health Organization's International Health Regulations.
- The International Health Regulations allow the WHO to direct worldwide responses to public health emergencies, potentially dictating Canadian healthcare policy.
