Institute President: Political Representation

Quebecers Dept: He's been trying for a while to start a dialogue between the two provinces, including publishing a recent paper on the subject and polling Quebecers on their perceptions of the western province, according to Montreal Gazette. It's true that Quebec and Alberta are very different, especially when it comes to political representation. Years of Quebec support for the sovereignist Bloc Qu b cois clearly didn't help build a dialogue and quebec and Alberta might seem poles apart, but they share many of the same political and economic interests, argues Montreal Economic Institute president Michel Kelly-Gagnon. "The issues raised by this relationship," he believes, "will have undeniable impacts on Quebec's future: equalization, the division of powers between Ottawa and the provinces, the energy future, climate change, etc." As reported in the news.
