Sinopsis

What author Richard Saillant calls Canada',s Great Demographic Imbalance&mdash,the highly uneven pace at which Canada',s regions are aging&mdash,policy analyst Donald J. Savoie, in his Foreword, calls one of the country',s most demanding challenges for the next two decades.With a broad scope deeply anchored in demographics, A Tale of Two Countries focuses on Saillant',s powerful argument: that the twin forces of economic and demographic gravity spell trouble for eastern Canada, and for the country as a whole, if we don',t act now. First we must face a harsh truth: the contrast is stark between have and haveless provinces and it is about to get starker. The result? Two distinct Canadas: one poorer, older, the other younger, dynamic. While the former struggles to weather the demographic storm, the latter, while maintaining a status quo, will have little appetite for bailing out the older Canada. Without a significant shift in perspective, Saillant argues, Canada will be a country torn apart.With charts, extensive endnotes, and compelling arguments, A Tale of Two Countries is a must-read for those seeking an accessible, evidence-based policy analysis of Canada',s uncertain future, recommendations for addressing its consequences, and their potential impact on all Canadians.
