July 11th 1990, marked the beginning date of the Oka Crisis in Quebec Canada. It lasted until September 26th 1990 resulting in one fatality of a local police officer.

Stephen Harper’s “open federalism” methodology is the most controversial form of Canadian federalism yet. 2. The Origin of Canadian Federalism 2.1. The Confederation Settlement The Confederation Settlement was inscribed in the British North America Act, 1867. The principle crafter of the document, Sir John A.
