This week's discussion focuses on the origins of the Canadian Federation, highlighting the concept of federalism from a historical perspective. Key readings include insights from the Canadian Public Sector (pp. 96-107) and the first edition of Canadian Public Finance, complemented by ideal constitutional frameworks. We will explore Buchanan's Clubs and Breton's Continuum, alongside three informative diagrams that illustrate complex relationships. The "father knows best" model highlights the dynamics between conditional and unconditional grants, using indifference curve analysis to show provincial preferences.
