Although a history of protest politics has done so much to define
western Canada and to place it outside the Canadian mainstream, the
aspirations and frustrations that animated western discontent over
the years have been replaced by a new reality: the West is in, and
many of the levers of national economic and political power rest in
western Canadian hands. The protest tradition has yielded a dynamic
region that leads rather than reacts to national economic, social,
and political change. The westward shift of the Canadian economy
and demography is likely to be an enduring structural change that
reflects and is reinforced by the transformation of the continental
and global economies. At the same time, western Canada faces major
challenges, including finding a place for a sustainable resource
economy in a rapidly changing global environment, establishing a
full and modern partnership with Aboriginal peoples, and creating
urban environments that will attract and retain human capital. None
of these challenges are unique to the West but they all play out
with great force, and great immediacy, in western Canada.
