- Title
CANADA'S SOLITUDES, OLD AND NEW.
- Authors
SAVOIE, DONALD J.
- Abstract
Nearly 80 years after appearing in the writings of Hugh MacLennan, the phrase "Canada's two solitudes" continues to resonate today.1 One can even say that new solitudes were added, making Canada more complex to manage. The national political and administrative institutions in Canada remain ill-equipped to accommodate solitudes, both old and new. Moreover, it may well be that the institutions themselves have contributed to the development or strengthening of those solitudes. The solitudes are not rooted only in language issues. New solitudes have emerged and are the product of divergent or contradictory regional economic interests. This chapter aims to provide an update on the situation of these Canadian solitudes, old and new.
