520 "What if Canadian history was actually about the money? In
1867, Canadians wrote themselves a new constitution
because they needed a new tax deal. Confederation was not
just about the taxes, but it was never not about the taxes,
and the founding principles of "Peace, Order, and Good
Government" should be reconsidered accordingly. Modern
Canada, like Britain, France, and the United States, was
born of a tax revolt. But in Canada, George Brown's tax
revolt became John A. Macdonald's tax coup: a quasi-
imperial fiscal federalism that successfully withstood
half a century's worth of popular agitation before it
began to unravel. This book describes how politics in
Canada became social politics between 1867 and 1917.
Canada was constructed in 1867 amidst fierce debates about
fair taxation and reconstructed in 1917 amidst even
fiercer ones. What did fairness mean to Canadians? That
was always a "who" question as well as a "what" question.
Some people demanded fairness for their region, others
demanded fairness for their race, and still others rewrote
fairness to reflect changing understandings of wealth,
poverty, and land ownership. Successive chapters provide
detailed case studies of those local debates and then
recount how the new ideas gradually infiltrated and
transformed federal politics. But the old regime did not
die quietly. It fought bitterly for its clientelist,
regressive fiscal federalism and the Canadian people paid
a terrible price for their tax reforms. The story of that
struggle has never been more timely."--|cProvided by
