What do you mean by "weaker federal state" when describing Canada?
- pjc50 7y agoI'm guessing this is the undercurrents of demand for independence from Quebec. I think this shows the importance of linguistic unity in cultural unity and therefore national unity. Germany's "strong federal state" (which is pretty decentralised in practice) is likely also a result of this. Of course, some people like to turn "is" into "ought", resulting in the problems of the 20th century when some people tried to make the German national borders match the linguistic border.
