Energy, Canadian Federalism, and the West

Kenneth H. Norrie
University of Alberta

Two separate questions are investigated. First, are recent policies of the western provinces in any sense a threat to Canadian federalism or an important cause of the current crisis? Secondly, and alternatively, is Canadian federalism a threat to the West in the sense that the institutions of the country cannot, in their present form, respond to the needs and aspirations of the region? These issues are explored in the context of political and economic developments associated with the energy crisis of the last decade. The conclusion is that Canadian federalism demonstrated a surprising resiliency in the face of a very severe challenge.
