Canadian politics has two uncomfortable questions: what follows a rejection of separation, and what follows another promise of affordability? Jamie Ellerton and Lindsay Broadhead offer competing tests for whether government is actually answering either concern.

Staying Doesn't Settle the Argument

A place in Canada doesn't resolve every grievance with it. Danielle Smith’s relationship with separatists raises a leadership question, while Lindsay recalls a pointed message from Jason Kenney: what does Alberta deserve to hear from the rest of the country?

Relief That Outlasts a Payment

Rising costs put pressure on governments to act quickly. But what would help beyond a one-time cheque? From tax policy to grocery competition, Jamie and Lindsay weigh changes against the risk of another reaction that leaves the larger problem intact.
