Re Why Legault Is Suddenly Singing Federalism’s Praises On The Campaign Trail (Sept. 28): If François Legault is touting the benefits of federalism, underlying it is a preference for an asymmetrical version that would belie the original intention of our constitutional arrangement.

Given his incremental approach to reinforcing Quebec’s nationhood with such initiatives as Bill 96, the possibility of a new iteration of “sovereignty-association” may eventually be realized without ever having to put another referendum question to Quebeckers. And in turn, Canadians would be left to ask the federal government how this could have ever happened.
