Why did meech lake accord fail?

The Meech Lake Accord failed primarily due to a lack of consensus among provinces and the federal government regarding constitutional reforms. Key issues included the recognition of Quebec as a "distinct society," which sparked concerns about potential imbalances in national unity. Additionally, the opposition from Manitoba and Newfoundland, particularly due to the absence of consultation with Indigenous groups and other marginalized communities, led to significant pushback. Ultimately, the deadline for ratification was not met, and the accord was not adopted.
