An account of federal-provincial relations in Canada from Confederation to the formation of Wilfrid Laurier's government in 1896. The author reveals a complex pattern of conflict and collaboration that provides a parallel to events of today. Beginning with brief accounts of the origins of Confederation and the economic, social, and political characteristics of late-19th-century Canada, the text 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. It also examines the process of intergovernmental relations and the significance of particular practices and institutions, such as disallowance, reservation, federal-provincial conferences and judicial review.
