  abstract: "The near win of the separatist forces in Quebec in 1995 resulted in a reference case which asked, basically, if and how the Canadian Constitution could deal with a province determined to separate. The Court's ruling established a refined jurisprudence concerning how constitutions can deal with profound change. Maritime Union, a topic that dates back to Confederation, would also profoundly change the Constitution. This book explores the arguments for and against Maritime provinces coming together and why this perennial debate has yet to be settled. Understanding why this is the case will help us better understand the nature of Canadian federalism; constitutional reform in Canada, particularly at the provincial level; and the concepts of regionalism and identity, words used far too loosely in studies of Canada.
