“The Canadian federal government is accorded jurisdiction over some 30 areas
including:
· National defence
· Raising of funds (by any form of taxation)
· Postal Service
· Banking and the incorporation of banks
· Naturalization
· Criminal law

The provinces were given 16 specific areas over which they have exclusive jurisdiction, including:
· Direct taxation within the province
· Education
· Establishment and maintenance of hospitals
· Issuing of licences and permits to raise revenue
· Local works projects except those which the federal government
deems to be for the general advantage
· Administration of justice within the province
· Property and civil rights in the province

In 1982, provincial jurisdiction over natural resources and energy (Sec. 92A) was clarified and slightly expanded. Any area that falls outside the 16 specific areas of provincial jurisdiction is deemed to be within the federal purview. This is known as the residual power.

Shared Powers or have concurrent jurisdiction:
· Immigration
· Agriculture
By amendment in 1982, pensions were recognized as an arm of a concurrent jurisdiction ”

In practical terms, the division of powers between the two levels of government has been modified by two developments: the adoption of
constitutional amendments, of which there have been relatively few; and decisions of the Supreme Court. While Canada remains formally a
symmetrically federal state, 1 there are some asymmetrical elements such as the establishment of a national pension program, with Quebec
accorded the right to set up a separate pension fund. As well, the weakening of the federal government’s ability to set national standards in areas of provincial jurisdiction has resulted in the increasing decentralization of the Canadian federal system.”

Are you worried that our impeachment will succeed?

Are you worried, amidst this global financial crisis, that a sudden change in government and the resulting struggle for power could result into economic turmoil?

Are you worried about the long term investment implications that result from the foreign perception that frequent revolutions and/or an unstable government may be a bad thing?

Are you worried that more opportunistic and charismatic scoundrels (than our ‘good guys’) will hijack the next revolution?

Don’t worry, we’ve thought about all that. We bloggers think about everything and we’ve figured it out.

And besides, what do you think we do spending all those hours hanging out at Starbucks? :)

We’ve even solved global warming dude. But we will get to that once we impeach GMA.

See you at Cafe Intermezzo :)

Patalsikin si GMA, ibalik ang systema ni Raja Soliman!

The MOA-AD was founded on American First Nation paradigm:

Remember this corner’s thesis early on that the way the MoA-AD was crafted absent proper consultations and founded on the American First Nation paradigm, IT WAS AN AGREEMENT THAT WAS DESIGNED TO FAIL?
