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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67975140475168,"sku":"NEW1771084472","price":38.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61yYmsnkj8L.jpg?v=1792968162","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/en-ca\/products\/a-tale-of-two-countries-1771084472","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
