This paper analyses the Canadian federal system. First, it focuses on the reasons for the choice of a federal system when the Canadian federation was created in 1867, on the main features of that system: the asymmetrical nature and the strongly centralized division of powers, and on its evolution. Second, it analyses the federal financial relations, the intergovernmetal relations and various issues relating to the structure and functioning of national institutions. Finally, it pays special attention to the changing and problematic relationship between Quebec and English Canada. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
