Taking stock of the Federation roundtable summary

Summary: Taking Stock pulls together the insights of 16 roundtable participants (five observers were also present) who met in Calgary on February 9, 2012. The roundtable was supported by the Privy Council Office, and was designed to shed light on the evolving political environment across the four western provinces. The discussion was carried out according to "Chatham House rules," and took place against the backdrop of the 2011 general election and the 2011 Census (released the day of the roundtable), the creation of new House of Commons seats for Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario, and ongoing economic news about the westward tilting of the national economy. The West, it seems, is "in" but the consequences for both the region and the country are far from clear.
