image of Malcolm Rowe on a balconyIn revolutionary France, 1789 became Year One in the new constitutional order. No comparable event occurred in Canada with the adoption of the Constitution Act, 1982.

Comprehending that constitutional order requires understanding how it developed, starting with the perspective of 1867.
