Ebook: Ex Uno Plures: Federal-Provincial Relations in Canada, 1867-1896

Ex Uno Plures is the first comprehensive 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.
