A fair bit. Some examples:
* authority over schools and the school system is almost entirely Kantonal
* tax authority is mostly regulated on a communal and kantonal level. the feds just get sort of a fixed share of what the kanton collects, but it’s itemized separately on each tax bill
* authority over all roads, with some concessions regarding highways
* autonomy over how kantonal subdivisions are organized
* like in the US or Germany, Kantons have their own justices and police departments
while that may all sound kinda time, keep int mind that we have 26 kantons and 8M inhabitants. So, if you compare to the US, it’s probably more like a county than a state, size wise.
