Rather than amend the Constitution to give life to Canada’s regional realities, policymakers embraced hyphenated federalism

. Hyphenated federalism has enabled Ottawa to distribute wealth all the while leaving intact its ability to influence where and how wealth is created. Atlantic Canada has benefited greatly from federal transfer payments, a form of guilt money, as compensation for Ottawa’s economic policies. Western Canada has generated a great deal of funds to replenish federal coffers, albeit not because national economic policies helped the region grow.

No matter, in the eyes of McGuinty it is a regional sector, and politicians who focus on it are parochial. However, McGuinty, other MPs from Ontario and the national media view the automobile sector as national. Yet, for nine of Canada’s 10 provinces, the automobile industry is a regional sector.
