Forum of Federations
A provincial vote does not stop at the provincial border. Debates over autonomy, identity and secession raise a larger question: how do choices within one province reshape the federation as a whole? That question brought the Forum of Federations to the University of Ottawa on September 25 for When Provincial Becomes National: The Alberta Referendum and Quebecโ€™s Election. The discussion examined two distinct political contexts and their implications for Canadian federalism. It explored what drives demands for constitutional change, how secessionist movements differ, and how provincial political choices become national questions.

That is why intergovernmental fiscal institutions matter. Their advice shapes how public money is shared between levels of government.The scale is substantial:โ€ข Kenya: KSh 428 billion to 47 counties (FY 2026/27)โ€ข Pakistan: ~PKR 8.85 trillion to four provinces (FY 2026/27)โ€ข Philippines: โ‚ฑ1.19 trillion to 43,000+ local governments (FY 2026)In Manila on 28โ€“29 September, the Forum of Federations convened the first Intergovernmental Fiscal Institutions Network (IGFIN) gathering.Two insights stood out:๐Ÿ”น Papua New Guineaโ€™s fiscal commission starts with what a service should cost to deliver, not what was spent last year.๐Ÿ”น Anwar Shah showed that stabilization funds only cushion revenue shocks when backed by clear rules, transparency and oversight.IGFIN will become an annual exchange and a standing platform for peer learning, with a secretariat at the Forum.
