This article is a collection of letters to the editor discussing the historical and ongoing importance of Section 92A of the Constitution Act, 1982, which affirms provincial jurisdiction over non-renewable natural resources. Former Newfoundland Premier A. Brian Peckford clarifies that the success of this amendment was due to support from multiple provinces, not just Alberta or the western provinces. The letters express concerns over perceived federal and judicial overreach, emphasizing that provincial resource rights should remain protected. Several letters also address Alberta’s frustration with its economic contributions relative to federal influence, highlighting the perceived inequity between provinces. Additional letters touch on various topics, including public health concerns regarding fentanyl, the ethical treatment of animals in scientific research, the challenges facing Canadian dairy farmers under international trade pressures, and Canada’s role in global geopolitics. Contributors stress the importance of honesty, moral clarity, and inclusion of lived experience in policy decisions. Overall, the letters reflect Canadian citizens’ engagement with governance, federalism, social responsibility, and ethical considerations in both domestic and international contexts.
