What author Richard Saillant calls Canada's Great Demographic Imbalance--the highly uneven pace at which Canada's regions are aging--policy analyst Donald J. Savoie, in his Foreword, calls one of the country's most demanding challenges for the next two decades.

With a broad scope deeply anchored in demographics, A Tale of Two Countries focuses on Saillant's powerful argument: that the twin forces of economic and demographic gravity spell trouble for eastern Canada, and for the country as a whole, if we don't act now. First we must face a harsh truth: the contrast is stark between have and haveless provinces and it is about to get starker. The result? Two distinct Canadas: one poorer, older; the other younger, dynamic. While the former struggles to weather the demographic storm, the latter, while maintaining a status quo, will have little appetite for bailing out the older Canada. Without a significant shift in perspective, Saillant argues, Canada will be a country torn apart.
