Albertans head to the polls Oct. 19 to vote on whether there should be a future, binding referendum on the province separating from Canada. Strains of western alienation go back decades.
1980 — The federal government ignites widespread alienation in Alberta with the National Energy Program, which keeps domestic oil prices below world levels to promote Canadian energy security and increase the federal share of oil revenues. Alberta views it as an unjustified attack and a federal money grab. The issue is later settled, but discontent with Ottawa continues.
Sylvan Charlebois, Troy Media Sylvain Charlebois Changing where Canadians buy and sell food is proving much harder than changing how they feel about the United States. The latest Statistics Canada figures, which came out this week, suggest that neither the boycott of American food nor efforts to diversify Canada’s agri-food trade have meaningfully reduced our dependence on the U. S. Between January and August 2026, Canadian agri-food imports from the U. S. declined by 0.7 per cent, compared with the same period in 2025. That might sound like evidence that Canadians’ determination to avoid American products is having an impact. But Canada’s total agri-food imports declined by 1.2 per cent. Consequently, the American share of our agri-food imports increased from 47.09 per cent to 47.33 per cent, a gain of 0.24 percentage points. The export picture is equally revealing. Between January and August 2025, the U. S. received 61.92 per cent of Canada’s agri-food exports. During the same period in 2026, that share reached 61.98 per cent. Both figures round to 62 per cent.

According to a new report from consulting giant Wood Mackenzie, battery storage is now cheaper than gas peaker plants in almost every market. Analysts are hailing the milestone as a seminal moment for the electrification of the global economy – or, as we like to call it, the energy transition. Granted, this is an important moment. But it’s also just one data point in a process of technological change that will end many decades in the future.
And, in that change, there is a critical lesson for Canada at this point in our country’s economic evolution. I’ve been writing about technological change for four decades. My model is based on the transition from horses and steam to tractors and modern industrial farming from 1900 to 1950. In that process are all the components of most technology adoptions.
