I just came across the searchable, on-line, member’s only archive of the Canadian Bar Review which I immediately whirled into use to find my favorite law journal article of all time “The Early Provincial Constitutions” by J.E.Read from 1948. Classic nerd knowledge fills every page: The content of that ur-document the Letters of Patent for Nova Scotia from 1749, the fact that the British Empire was a unitary state without rival sovereignty, the cite for Re Cape Breton (1846), 5 Moo P.C. 259 confirming the use of Royal prerogative to unify two colonies into one.
Wow. Neato. I’ll be back to you guys later.
