Regionalism in Canada: The Forgotten Diversity J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y




Paul U. Angelini J Y J Y




CHAPTER SUMMARY J Y




Understanding regionalism is vital to understanding life in Canada. Regionalism is a form of diversity because J Y J
Y J Y J
Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J
Y J Y J
Y J
Y J
Y J
Y J Y




Canada is a country comprised of many regions where the inhabitants of each region regard themselves as different
J
Y J Y J Y J Y J
Y J Y J
Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J
Y J Y J
Y J
Y J
Y




from those in other regions. After all, regions are made up of people and people make regions.
J
Y J Y J
Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J
Y J Y J Y J Y J Y




Provinces are the appropriate tools to examine regionalism because provinces speak with a single voice, command
J
Y J Y J
Y J Y J Y J
Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J
Y J Y J
Y J Y J Y J
Y




the loyalty of their populations and possess the political tolls to create a shared regional identity.
J
Y J Y J Y J Y J
Y J Y J
Y J Y J
Y J
Y J
Y J
Y J Y J Y J
Y




There are many explanations for the existence of regionalism. Four of the most popular are the natural resources
J
Y J
Y J Y J Y J
Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J
Y J
Y J
Y J Y J Y J Y J Y




approach, market approaches, interventionist approaches and Marxist approaches. They are mutually exclusive
J
Y J Y J
Y J Y J Y J
Y J Y J
Y J Y J Y J Y J
Y




explanations. More than one cannot be used to explain the existence of regional differences and their affect on
J Y J Y J Y J
Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y




Canadian life. J
Y




There are many factors that intensify regional differences. Two of the most important are federalism and our electoral
J
Y J
Y J Y J
Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J
Y J Y J
Y J Y J
Y J Y J Y




system, the single-member plurality system. Federalism is important because senior decision makers frequently
J
Y J Y J
Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J
Y J
Y J Y J
Y J Y J
Y




support the interests of some regions at the expense of others. Similarly, the single-member plurality system is based
J
Y J
Y J
Y J
Y J Y J Y J Y J
Y J Y J
Y J Y J
Y J Y J
Y J Y J
Y J Y J
Y




on the principle of representation by population. Consequently, the provinces with the most people—Ontario and
J
Y J Y J Y J
Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J
Y J Y J Y J
Y J Y J
Y J Y




Quebec—will determine the outcome of federal elections. Governments, therefore, will always cater to their interests
J
Y J Y J
Y J Y J
Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J
Y J Y J Y J Y




first.

The federal government, however, does have an interest in the wellbeing of the entire country. Paradoxically, the
J
Y J Y J Y J
Y J Y J
Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J
Y J Y J Y J
Y J
Y J Y J
Y




federal government has made decisions and implemented policies that have both intensified regional differences (see
J
Y J Y J Y J Y J
Y J
Y J Y J Y J
Y J Y J
Y J Y J Y J Y J
Y




the case of Western Canada), and attempted to ameliorate these same differences. The three most common tools used
J
Y J Y J
Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J
Y J
Y J Y J
Y J Y J Y J Y




to lessen regional differences are reducing physical distances, spending money, and promoting understanding
J
Y J Y J Y J Y J
Y J
Y J Y J Y J Y J
Y J
Y J Y J Y




between Canadians. J
Y J
Y




Finally, whatever actions and policies are adopted by the federal government, there is always an important
J Y J Y J
Y J Y J Y J
Y J
Y J
Y J
Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J
Y J
Y J
Y




sociopsychological component to regionalism that government and Canadians ignore at their own peril. The most J Y J
Y J Y J
Y J
Y J Y J
Y J Y J Y J Y J
Y J Y J
Y J Y J Y




visible example of this is the contempt shared by most Canadians with regard to Central Canada and Metropolitan
J
Y J Y J Y J
Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J Y J
Y J Y




Toronto. While this contempt brings some Canadians together, it drives others apart.
