Questions of Order: Confederation and the Making of Modern Canada . Peter Price
"Questions of Order: Confederation and the Making of Modern Canada. Peter Price." Canadian Historical Review, 103(1), pp. 180–181
Heritage Moments: Customs, Traditions, and Multicultural Citizenship in Canada
For many scholars who worry about the future of liberal democracy, a central challenge has been to conceive civic and national identities that are robust enough to sustain collective action without defining the criteria of shared membership in ways that are too narrow, exclusive, or inaccessible. This essay addresses the familiar questions that lie at the heart of this challenge – who belongs? and on what terms? - but with a double twist: First, …
Back to the Future: Historical Political Science and the Promise of Canadian Political Development
How “historical” is Canadian political science? This paper sets out to answer this question through an analysis of historically oriented articles that have appeared in this journal from its first volume, in 1968, to 2015. We suggest that historical research in this journal is at once enduring and uneven, a pattern that we then explore in more detail in a case study, spanning forty years, of historical articles that focus on the interconnected the…
We All Lost the Iraq War: Reflections of a Canadian Fulbrighter in America
LIKE MANY CANADIANS, I tuned in on evening of 17 March 2003 to watch President George W. Bush deliver his much-anticipated ultimatum to Saddam Hussein. Unlike most Canadians, I watched speech in US itself--to be precise, from Harvard University. About midway through speech, I began to surf for some alternative, but encountered same face--serious, sombre and smirk-free--on channel after channel. Until, that is, I reached niche public affairs chann…
Rights Talk in Canada in the Late Nineteenth Century: “The Good Sense and Right Feeling of the People”
I am a friend to the preservation of the rights of property...but I believe in the subordination of those rights to the public good.... I deny that the people of my Province are insensible to or careless about the true principles of legislation. I believe they are thoroughly alive to them, and I am content that my rights of property, humble though they are, and those of my children, shall belong to the Legislature of my country to be disposed of …
The Province of Post-Confederation Rights
Seeing Canada Through the Referendum: Still a House Divided
On 26 October 1992, a majority of Canadians in a majority of provinces rejected the Charlottetown Accord in a national referendum. The accord capped the “Canada round” of constitutional negotiations and attempted to satisfy Quebec, while also addressing other pan-Canadian issues. The accord was defeated for different reasons in different parts of the country. In Quebec, the “No” side argued that the agreement did not meet their demands for greate…

Liberty and Community: Canadian Federalism and the Failure of the Constitution
And 1867: The Federal Principle and Canadian Confederation Reconsidered
This article challenges the conventional interpretation of the intellectual origins of Canadian federalism. The article argues that the debate over Confederation can be interpreted as a debate over the meaning of sovereignty. It argues centrally that certain of the most prominent supporters of Confederation were more powerfully attracted to the conception of classical federalism and co-ordinate sovereignty than is usually assumed, thus creating a…
Constitutional Politics and the Legacy of the Provincial Rights Movement in Canada
The rise of the provincial rights movement in the generation after Confederation forms an important chapter in Canadian constitutionalism. In their attempts to understand the provincial rights movement, however, historians and political scientists have paid insufficient attention to the precise constitutional doctrine that was developed to thwart the centralizing designs of Sir John A. Macdonald. This article shows that the sources of this provin…
