integration
The balance that the Canadian federalist system attempts to strike between the powers of Ottawa and the provinces (and the fallout throughout our country’s history) illustrates a fundamental dynamic of political systems – the tension between the centralizing principle, which accrues and ‘uploads’ hierarchal power to the central government, and the decentralizing principle, which demands control be diffuse, local to those its decisions impact. On a global timescale and as seen from above, nations merge and devour one another on the same pattern. Such mergers – when not the result of outright war or economic siege – are typically shotgun weddings, resulting in negative impacts on the constitutional rights of citizens. (See: Ireland’s experience with the Lisbon treaty.) This is the dance of tyranny and liberty, and to judge by present trends, nation-states are integrating further, silently ceding national sovereignty via summits, trade negotiations, and the creation of international law.
