Colony as a laboratory for political economy that ricochets back into the metropolitan has been the case from the very beginning. Governor James Douglas in British Columbia has a very real present problem when it comes to trying to figure out how to sustain financially this burgeoning colony. A lot of innovation we could call it to or creation of novel legal doctrines are maybe not entirely novel because they're circulating through different colonial sites. So I think that there is more fluidity and experimentation that's happening in the colonial world.
