Four years ago — on the 40th anniversary of Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms — I wrote in National Post that the Charter was one of the worst bargains ever struck in the history of Canadian federalism. I argued that it had become little more than a disguised version of the old, discredited federal power of disallowance, a federal veto over provincial policies, now exercised by the Supreme Court rather than by Cabinet.

As Conservatives gather in Calgary to reflect on the recent past and chart a path to the future, this month also marks the 20th anniversary of the 2006 election and the beginning of almost a decade of Conservative rule.
