Confederation: The Creation of Canada
Brian J. Young, McGill University
Confederation has played a large role in every history of Canada. Some have condemned it as a centralizing device that oppresses minorities. However, the majority of Canadians probably view the British North America Act, which instituted Confederation, as a federalist compromise that is unique in North America.
