Abstract
Since the late 1960s Canada has experienced five rounds of constitutional politics. This paper focuses particularly on the most recent of those rounds, that which occurred during 1990-92, and attempts to place it in a comparative context. In the terminology suggested by Peter Russell, this round represented an effort at "macro" constitutional change in terms of the comprehensiveness of the reforms considered, and had all the characteristics of "mega" politics in terms of the degree and intensity of public involvement.
