Canada was created to be a strong country, nurturing the regions, eventually becoming greater than its parts. As Canada grew from infancy, the provinces, the aunts and uncles of Confederation, also grew and aspired to become independent countries on their own. Since the Centennial in 1967, the young Canada grew, exerting the rights given to it by the Constitution. The aunts and uncles, having designs of nationhood, began resenting the young adult, forcing it to gradually ceding its control and now is a nearly impotent custodian of Canadian citizenship, and almost equal to the aunts and uncles in stature. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Canadian Federation has devolved into a state of feudalism, where \"passing the buck\" is the common denominator between the federal and provincial governments. Municipal governments blame the provincial for their ills; the provinces then blame the federal government with the buck passing in a vicious circle. Inside the vicious circle are the people of Canada bound in red tape while being taxed to death to pay for the ineffectiveness of governments. With each provincial government determined to create its own kingdom within Canada, \u003cb\u003eOne Canada\u003c\/b\u003e will never be a reality, unless a new paradigm of governance is developed for all of Canada. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe new paradigm is governance at the local municipal level, supervised by the national government. The Fathers of Confederation clearly defined the powers and responsibilities of the federal Parliament and the provincial legislatures. Had the clear division of powers been followed, Canada would, today, be greater than the sum of its regions. For the first 100 years of Confederation, the provincial governments, like aunts and uncles, helped nurture Canada through the adolescent years and into nationhood. Like the Jamaican Proverb, \u003cb\u003e\"Two bull caan reign in a the same pen\"*, \u003c\/b\u003e the 10 provincial and one federal government have been locking horns together. Now the time has come for the provinces to remove their blinders, let Canada grow into maturity, bringing greater prosperity to its people. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e* (Two bull caan reign in a the same pen) Jamaican patois\u003cbr\u003e (Two Bulls cannot reign in a herd) English\u003cbr\u003e (There can only be one leader) The Meaning. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cecil Young\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1412022355\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781412022354\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Trafford Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/03\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 396\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.88d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cecil Young","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48518359646463,"sku":"9781412022354","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a6741f68-eee3-4e34-8c81-56aa851ae2d1.jpg?v=1778734280","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/one-canada-cecil-young-9781412022354","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
