Currently, Canadians operate within a bit of illusionary state of calm. The Harper government gets credit for the lack of acrimony within the federation, separatism is off the radar, relative to past dramatic periods, there is an argument to be made for good stewardship on this front. However, that superficial analysis doesn’t quite understand the "drift" that is taking place, rather than calm it is disengagement and apathy, people simply moving in different directions, no binding force to bring cohesion. A high profile example, the environment file, wherein provinces are acting in hodge podge fashion, filling the vacuum left by federal inaction.
I contend tensions are just under the surface, the warning signs are everywhere, this federation is very close to a real, serious tipping point. What is required is a simple spark and much of this supposed federalist calm with evaporate and we will enter a phase of dangerous rhetoric and regional acrimony that is unprecedented. Enter Danielle Smith and her views on climate change:
The woman leading a front-running party in Alberta’s provincial election has cast doubt on the widely accepted scientific theory that human activity is a leading cause of global warming.
Wildrose Leader Danielle Smith made the comment in an online leaders debate organized by two Alberta newspapers.

In this instance, I envision a scenario where the last semblance of niceties are replaced by outright disdain, because there will be no credibility moving forward. How can a country move forward on a sensitive topic when you question the commitment from a core party? We aren’t taking about a simple differing opinion on an issue, we are talking about science, we are confronted by the reality that Alberta may be run by people who don’t even accept a fundamental problem. How can anyone have confidence that the "resource" will be managed responsibility? I won’t, and I suspect I’m not alone. If you can’t accept the science, I can’t accept you as a credible actor and will see a province I actually have a great deal of affection for being run by the backward and ignorant, an entity that needs to be overcome, rather than any partner. Wither the federation, just watch…

[b]Climate change gave Harper his majority and since the majority are now former believers, the first party to officially renounce the CO2 mistake and its fear mongering will have an easy election win. Would you vote for a party that threatens your kcomment_IDs with a CO2 death? Would you vote for taxing the air we breathe to make the weather colder? Would you vote for a party that is willing to condemn your children to the greenhouse gas ovens? Voters have the final and REAL consensus that matters, not the same world of science that gave us pesticcomment_IDes.[/b]
