Party government and regional representation in Canada / Peter Aucoin, research coordinator. : Z1-1983/1-41-36E-PDF
"If there is one constant that emerges from a study of Canada's national political parties since Confederation, it is that they are uniquely placed to accommodate the conflicting demands inherent in a federal system. For much of the country's history, they have acted as the principal conciliators of the society's tensions. In so doing, political parties have commonly been accepted as the sinews of a healthy Canadian federalism. But it is equally obvious that for the past quarter century the governing party in Ottawa has chosen not to play this traditional role. Instead, it has defined the political contest and promoted policies such as language, the Charter and medicare, which overarch the social and territorial divisions of the country. In short, while national parties have the power to court the regions, the Liberal Party in the last two and a half decades has chosen not to do so."--p. 1.
