Should this be merged with Assymmetric federation? UnHoly 19:54, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Canada

The Canada section is a bit of a mess. Even the first paragraph, which is largely correct, is unsourced.

The second paragraph is misleading when it says "tax collection is often a federal responsibility". Sections 91 and 92 of the Constitution grant taxing power to both the provinces and the federal government. The CRA does collect a number of provincial taxes and then remits them to the provinces in question, but Quebec is not the only province that does not participate in all of these arrangements. Further, these arrangements are by way of agreements - I am not sure contracts among governments to find bureaucratic efficiencies necessarily constitute asymmetric federalism. In entering into agreements with CRA to collect taxes, those particular provinces haven't abrogated their long-term legislative competence over those taxes.

The third paragraph, reference the 2004 health accord, seems to be trying to make hay out of a press release. There are no details provided to show that, beyond the posturing in a communique, how the funding implemenation results in asymmetric federalism.

The references to pension plans in the fourth paragraph is correct, but the subsequent line "matters that are handled by the federal government in all the other province" is incorrect. And the last paragraph appears to be unsourced opinion.

I will take a crack at fixing this, but first wanted to leave a note advising of the issue in case anyone had input. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 13:55, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Saint Kitts and Nevis

Would Saint Kitts and Nevis not qualify for inclusion on this post? The description on Constitution of Saint Kitts and Nevis#Structure of Government seems to describe an asymmetric federal situation. --Gimelthedog (talk) 03:53, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

United States

Why is there no discussion of the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and some of the territories of the United States. Are those not also examples of asymmetric federalism (in comparison to U.S. states)? 74.83.67.36 (talk) 18:57, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
