Meech Lake provokes lasting national reckoning
The Meech talks in Ottawa exposed deep fault lines among premiers and federal leaders amid accusations of secrecy and mistrust. Premier Wells hints at referendums. Filmon accuses spying, while Bourassa’s stance is seen as a stabilizing factor. Debate centers on individual rights versus collective protections and the fate of a reformed Senate. Manitoba and Newfoundland likely push Meech forward despite public unrest. The PM faces political punishment for shaping Canada’s constitutional mood.
