Savoie, in his Foreword, calls \"one of the country's most demanding challenges for the next two decades.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a broad scope deeply anchored in demographics, \u003cem\u003eA Tale of Two Countries\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith charts, extensive endnotes, and compelling arguments, \u003cem\u003eA Tale of Two Countries\u003c\/em\u003e 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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Saillant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1771084472\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771084475\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nimbus Publishing (CN)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/07\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.51d","brand":"Richard Saillant","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43937937359103,"sku":"9781771084475","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_53119485-546f-49fd-8604-bae6bef4ae06.jpg?v=1681432778","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-tale-of-two-countries-richard-saillant-9781771084475","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
