It"s a system that follows constitution"s dictation of who has authority to make laws and to tax between the federal and provincial governments. --> the federal government is not superior to provincial government. Each have specific set of responsibilities and jurisdictions. Federal and defense, provinces and education: federalism creates a sense of political community. This sense of community transcends regional, ethnic and linguistic identities, it"s essential for successful integration of a country. Basically, everyone is a canadian, regardless of their ethnicity, language or where they live. -> canada has two political communities; provincial + federal. Key ideas: canada was a federation that helped provinces come together, a will to live together and a will to live apart . The bna act is a british law declaring the ownership of the dominion of canada, but not everything is written in the document.
