Hypothetical: The Secession of Western Canada

[Punter]

So basically Canada is a nation dominated by twats on the east coast. B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan are fed up with them. After we secede it will take a bit of time to organize a police force, government, military, etc. Probably easier to join the Americans eh?

I am sure America would be happy to have our resources and we would be able to migrate south with ease. A good situation for all involved. I honestly cannot think of a reason not to just go join them.

Is Western Canada blue or red?

 

[MotF Bane]

Join us.

Leans red, but Canada red is like United States blue with a dash of red, so somewhere in the middle. Just right, in fact.

 

[PottedMeat]

No, you guys stay separate. If the shit hits the fan here we'll need a place to go and we definitely ain't goin' to Mexico.

Heh would be interesting if they applied for union membership. Not sure if we would take them due to international politics. But I honestly wouldnt mind and would be excited to see the process unfold. It has been a half century since we last allowed a state to join our country.

One thing though. Once you join you cant leave

Another east coast tyrant is a pretty good reason NOT to join. You should pickup Alaska and keep to yourselves, you don't need a distant power dictating to you.

Dare I ask what eastern canada is? haha.

Would a central + western union work? You folks in the middle (Alberta) don't seem like you'd get along with B.C. people.

Considering it's central Canada with the resources everyone wants, I'm not sure why a union with anyone would be sensible. Go all UAE and rake in the profits and stay independent.

P.S. We in the East (Ontario) are often pretty sick of Quebec ourselves. Really 90% of this country would be happier if they took a hike.

Blue as HELL. There are people in Eastern Canada who still cut themselves as penance for what happened to Native Americans centuries ago.

You folks in the middle (Alberta) don't seem like you'd get along with B.C. people.

I think Alberta is like Texas!

 

[sandorski]

Not going to happen. BC is nowhere near Alberta politically, especially when it comes to Separatists. Even in Alberta Separatist numbers are practically 0. What they lack in number they make up with loud mouths.

 

[AstroManLuca]

We don't want a bunch of your hicks. We already have way too many of our own.

If a government is formed that includes the bloc separtists anything can happen. People are really getting riled up here.

 

[RabidMongoose]

I wouldn't be surprised if something happens like this in the future, either through dissolution of Canada as the entity as we know it or as a forceful takeover at some point.

You live in a dream world. Harper was perfectly willing to make deals with the Bloc.

I'm sure we can find room on the flag for few more stars.

We'll throw in free houses in Florida if you can get us the Yukon and Northwest Territory as well.

Not by giving them cabinet positions!

Excellent. Can I have a free house in Oregon instead though? Something near Salem.

Time for srs business : would Canadian State Americans still have split heads on South Park?

Exactly, how many loonies would we take for Alaska?

 

[imported_Champ]

actually we would be very viable as a seperate country...and us albertians love BC...besides the hippies of course

but theoreitically we are very capible of seperation and would survive quite well....we gots oil uranium wheat cow contential divide so water coal timber fish we would be fine

but no seperation but infact accountability in government caused by declairing the PQ treasonous for seperatist...then senate reform then proper seat-to-population ratio then more power for individual provinces and canada would be fine
