It delves into how U.S. market integration affects Canadian resource policies, using case studies like the Keystone XL pipeline debate to illustrate complexities. Furthermore, it assesses the effectiveness of economic stability policies in mitigating boom-and-bust cycles, proposing a framework that prioritizes sustainability and inclusivity.
Divided into three parts, the book first introduces sustainable development in Canada, then analyzes the impact of U.S. market integration, and finally assesses existing economic stability policies. It uses statistical data, policy documents, and interviews to support its analysis, offering insights for policymakers, businesses, and communities to promote collaborative governance and long-term planning.
