Canadian Democracy

A debate about Canadian democracy. The Conservative member mainly railed against decades of central control and the Laurentian consensus, which he claims betrayed the promise of 1867 by treating provinces like vassal states. He argued this stifled innovation and made Canada a laggard in areas like energy and technology compared to the US, UK, and Australia. The rest of the debate was the usual congratulatory fluff and constituency shout-outs.
