Behind Easterner Lines : Resource Speculation in Québec is a three-part series featuring Edmonton Weststar’s chief industry analyst exploring the potential for friendly resource ties to Edmonton’s most bewildering municipal cousin: Montréal.

Part three: Chief examinations on contagious predictions of commodity prices shifting political negotiations:

Ahead of me is a young stray cat, ducking off of the sidewalk under a parked car.
Bon hiver,” I quip, and feel sick for chuckling.
Across the street, the same cat runs full speed alongside a young stray of another colour.
Bon hiver!” I laugh with hope.
