Gene,

I think this idea is definitely worth pursuing. Why don't you add to this substack links to the Alberta Sovereignty Act and the similar Saskatchewan Act that I believe has been passed by the Saskatchewan legislature to this substack to make it easier for readers to quickly find those pieces of legislation and consider how much of them may be applicable to a proposed Ontario Sovereignty Act.

Secondly, please list any areas in which you believe the federal government has overstepped its constitutional authority to the detriment of Ontario citizens. I don't see how the mass of the population will get behind in Ontario Sovereignty Act without being convinced that there is at least one or perhaps more instances in which the federal government has exceeded its constitutional authority to the detriment of Ontario.

The one area in which I believe the federal government did exceed its constitutional authority to the detriment of we the citizens of Ontario is in imposing the national carbon tax but, unfortunately, I believe the Supreme Court of Canada found that this was a legitimate exercise of the constitutional authority of the federal government. I strongly disagree with that decision but I don't know how it can be overridden.

PS. Can you please explain the intention behind the map of Canada at the bottom of this post.
