In the past few years, the combination of Albertan assertiveness, First Nations’ engagement, Saskatchewan’s social policy activism, and Manitoba’s political transitions have attracted national attention. Yet most Canadians outside the region have little sense of what is going on politically, economically and socially in the West. Current battles over resource development, social policy, Indigenous rights, and federal-provincial relations highlight the degree to which the West seems to be out of step with much of the rest of the country.
This webinar highlights contributions by Blaine Favel, who will discuss the current aspirations and political priorities of Western Canada.
