Summary:
What Richard Saillant calls
Canada
's Great Demographic Imbalance - "the highly unevenpace at which
Canada
's regions are aging" - policy analyst Donald J. Savoie, in his Foreword, calls "one of the countries most demanding challenges for the next two decades." 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 the 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. For those seeking an accessible, evidencebased policy analysis of
Canada
's uncertain future, recommendations for addressing its consequences, and their potential impact on all Canadians.
