Boyko writes: “Three Weeks in Quebec invites readers to mourn Canada’s slow drift away from its centralist, parliamentary democratic founding principles.” Don’t agree. Moore makes clear that there was a give-and-take at the Quebec Conference between centralizers and decentralizers. Since Confederation judicial decisions and other developments have made Canada one of the most decentralized federations in the world, but Moore is commendably neutral about this, neither cheering nor denouncing how our federation has evolved.
