The author traces the political growth of the various provinces of Canada that culminated in the British North America Act of 1867 bringing them together as a single federal union. They describe the constitutional principles on which the union is based, along with the powers and processes of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the Canadian federal government. The book also explores the nature and function of the provinces within this federal framework, examining the delicate balance of shared and distinct responsibilities between national and provincial governments. In addition to explaining the mechanics of Canadian government, the author explores many of the complexities and contradictions inherent to a federal system such as Canada's. Of particular note are the ongoing challenges of divided powers and responsibilities between the federal and provincial governments, the representation of diverse geographical and cultural interest within a single system, and the maintenance of an effective and cohesive national identity amidst regional interests and jurisdiction.
