Document Summary
Mariimes rights: i. forbs, american historian, diferences and reacions between the west and the mariimes, Electoral representaion: house of commons had most of its members from ontario and quebec, only got worse as out migraion produced reducion in members of parliament from mariimes, senate had 24 members from the mariimes. Regional disunity: mariimes failed to join together to face the west, instead poliics in the mariimes were facionalized. Provincial poliician couldn"t see beyond provincial boundary: divided by religion, culture, language, schooling, etc, ongoing diferences in business community, on those who focused on industry and those who focused on commerce. Tarif policy: principal source of revenue, given to the federal government. Gave the government with direct taxaion to pay for what they had to do, and gave grants to the provinces: grants failed to cover the cost of roads, health, schooling, west grants were larger. Because you don"t have natural resources you get bigger grants.
