So the Métis are cool with us now, right?
Re Manitoba Language Rights, [1985] 1 S.C.R. 721
The Governor-in-Council asked if we
could rule on questions of no small import.
One way, and Winnipeg’s in anarchy,
the other, and Lévesque’ll surely snort.
The Manitoba Act requires that
its legislature publish laws in French.
Yet for one hundred years they’ve excelled at
ignoring confirmations from the bench.
In Blaikie, this Court likewise bound Quebec,
thus Manitoba’s laws are not legit.
And yet the “Rule of Law” will stop this wreck,
enjoining time to translate, per our writ.
We’ve wondered what that term meant, now we know:
enforcement of a stop-gap status quo

Alex, every morning it’s a new disappointment when I see that your letter hasn’t yet arrived! Satisfy me! In the meantime I will write you something soon. Also, I plan to post those embarrassing New Year’s photos soon. Tell Brenda to prepare herself. Hope that all is well. Bis gleich (German is going wunderbar!) …joshua
