As Canada confronts economic, environmental, and political shifts, Western provinces continue to voice concerns about underrepresentation and unequal policy attention. This lecture explores the historical roots and current realities of Western alienation, focusing on energy, agriculture, infrastructure, and political influence. Are federal priorities aligned with the West’s needs—or is the region being sidelined? Join the experts for an honest discussion about national unity and the path forward.
