Canada’s rural-urban divide is getting deeper, and that hurts all Canadians

Much of Canada’s political power lives in cities, and that has led to cultural biases and blind spots that risk erasing a vital kind of diversity in the country

Higgs II Polimeter: 80 New Promises

Moncton, NB – The Donald J. Savoie Institute (DJSI) launches its Higgs II Polimeter to measure the Progressive Conservative government’s success at fulfilling its electoral promises during its second term.

Professor Arsenault has been at l’École des hautes études publiques at the Université de Moncton since 2016. He has published widely in Canadian Politics and Canadian Public Policy.

The Donald J. Savoie Institute (DJSI) has signed a four-year agreement with McGill–Queen’s University Press (MQUP) concerning the creation of the Louis J. Robichaud Collection.

Much has been written recently about the rise of within-country inequality and growing imbalances of regional fortunes in the US and EU. In this paper, we apply a novel geo-visualization technique that combines local indicators of spatial association (LISAs) with directional statistics to a unique dataset in order to explore the spatial dimensions of regional income inequalities in Canada from 1981 to 2016. After describing a pattern of growing spatial divergence among regions, we briefly discuss the need for the federal government to explore new types of place-sensitive development policies.
