In today’s Ottawa Citizen, there is an article about a new StatsCan report: “Western Canada is home to an increasingly youthful and fast-growing population, while the eastern provinces are older and growing more slowly, according to new demographic analysis from Statistics Canada.” See: http://www.ottawacitizen.com/technology/Saskatoon+Canada+fastest+growing+city+Ottawa+ninth/5130888/story.html
Apparently they are finally catching up with Fearful Symmetry, where in Chapter 10 (The Two Nations in Canada’s Future: Lord Durham Updated) I argued, “The deux nations in Canada will no longer be English Canada and French Canada, but a predominantly ‘making nation’ (young, English-speaking, multicultural, western, and on the rise economically) on the one hand and a predominantly ‘taking nation’ (old, predominantly French-speaking, eastern and in relative decline) on the other.”
