In the 150 years since the British North America Act of 1867, the Canadian state and Canadian society have greatly changed in almost every way. Our constitution, however, has remained almost entirely the same. Christopher Moore considers how a constitution designed in the 1860s has handled the challenges of the 20th and 21st centuries.
