‘Can eastern and western Canada ever bridge the divide?’

This is apropos some letters to the Editor titled ‘Can eastern and western Canada ever bridge the divide?’ from this writer carried by the newspaper on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and yesterday. Concluding, Canada’s future will depend on whether it sees its internal differences as threats or as sources of strength.

The East and West each bring something vital to the national project—the economic engines of the West and the financial, educational, and cultural institutions of the East. Integration, cooperation, and mutual respect will determine whether Canada remains a stable, prosperous federation or drifts toward fragmentation in slow motion. The divide is real, the grievances are deep, but the potential for unity still exists—if leaders choose to build bridges instead of boundaries.—Concluded
