Federal-Provincial Relations in Canada, 1867-1896
Hardback
Publication Date: 01/10/1993
An account of federal-provincial relations in Canada from Confederation to the formation of Wilfrid Laurier's government in 1896. Until now, these formative years for the Canadian federal state have largely been ignored by Canadian political scientists, while historians have usually seen federal-provincial relations during this period in terms of the rivalry between John A. Macdonald and Oliver Mowat. Garth Stevenson goes far beyond this to reveal a complex pattern of conflict and collaboration which provides an interesting parallel to events of today. Beginning with brief accounts of the origins of Confederation and the economic, social, and political characteristics of late nineteenth-century Canada, Stevenson recounts the major issues that occupied the intergovernmental agenda. Liquor regulation in Ontario, land reform in Prince Edward Island, reluctant acceptance of Confederation in Nova Scotia, chronic financial problems in Quebec, controversy over Catholic schools in New Brunswick, and the roots of Western alienation in Manitoba and British Columbia are all described in detail.
