Canadian historians look at the ambivalent foundation on which their country is built, and how the refusal to choose between the many and the one has impacted the course of events. Their topics include Nova Scotia and the Rowell-Sirois Report 1938-48, unemployment relief and British Columbia forests 1936-39, the federalism of the Canadian automobile industry, and the unrealized benefits of Canada's unfederal judicial system.

Saywell's half-century of accomplished and influential scholarly work and teaching, Framing Canadian Federalism is a timely and fitting tribute to one of the discipline's foremost thinkers.
