The time is ripe to revisit Canada's past and redress its
historical wrongs. Yet in our urgency to imagine roads to
reconciliation with Indigenous peoples, it is important to keep in
sight the many other forms of diversity that Canadian federalism
has historically been designed to accommodate or could also reflect
more effectively. Canadian Federalism and Its Future brings
together international experts to assess four fundamental
institutions: bicameralism, the judiciary as arbiter of the federal
deal, the electoral system and party politics, and
intergovernmental relations. The contributors use comparative and
critical lenses to appraise the repercussions of these four
dimensions of Canadian federalism on key actors, including member
states, constitutive units, internal nations, Indigenous peoples,
and linguistic minorities. Pursuing the work of The Constitutions
That Shaped Us (2015) and The Quebec Conference of 1864 (2018),
this third volume is a testimony to Canada's successes and failures
in constitutional design. Reflecting on the cultural pluralism
inherent in this country, Canadian Federalism and Its Future offers
thought-provoking lessons for a world in search of concrete
institutional solutions, within and beyond the traditional
nation-state.
