| I don't think Alberta or Saskatchewan will be part of Canada within 10 years. Both extremely blessed with oil (Alberta) and potash (Saskatchewan) and agriculture. I just hope they take my Manitoba with them, but we don't have a lot to offer. Maybe hydroelectricity and a mostly frozen waterway in our north? |

That's because you never struggled to raise a family and make ends meet under an Canadian Liberal government based in Ottawa. The Conservatives weren't much better. We tried to get B.C. to separate in the 1980's to no avail, now Alberta and Saskatchewan have had enough, hopefully they'll have better luck. You can't crush the dreams of an entire part of a country for decades to distribute government largesse to the toadie provinces who line up to lick Ottawa's boots without something breaking.

Well if British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba all leave Canada and Join the U.S. that would make for a 54 star flag with 6 rows of 9 stars. ------------- Have a Nice Day If already having a nice day please disregard |

Believe me, we don't want B.C. to join the U.S. as a state. Too many liberals and despite everyone's denials Vancouver is a major trans-shipment point for Fentanyl precursors and money laundering. They have even coined a name for it: "The Vancouver Model" of organized international crime. Alberta and Saskatchewan? Absolutely! Alberta is the "Texas" of Canada and Saskatchewan is the "Wyoming".

| The GTA is already its own country, and it's not Canada. More of a Middle Eastern flavour. Alberta and Saskatchewan need to act fast before Ottawa ships the excess "new" Canadians there to put a finger on the referendum vote scale. I would leave Manitoba in a minute if they separate. |

It's the same in Vancouver's Lower Mainland where various ethnicities have established large enclaves. Richmond is Chinese, Surrey is East Indian, Abbotsford is Punjabi, and Vancouver city proper is probably only 50% natural born European descent Canadians. It wouldn't be a problem if they assimilated but they have no intention of respecting Canada's traditions and heritage. I remember the outrage when one stanza of the Canadian national anthem was sung in French, wait until they dedicate one stanza for Hindi and another for Farsi. Don't laugh, it's coming. Remember you heard it here first.

| I do feel the change of thinking in the western world in regards to immigration. I'm hearing the word "assimilate" more and more from European countries. Here in Canada it was almost deemed a hate crime to say it. When my grandparents came to this country, they assimilated. They still could worship at the Ukrainian church and celebrate their original homelands traditions, but they were "Canadian". No hyphen, no special treatment. You cannot have a stable country that allows what our immigration policies currently allow, and I think the west now realizes that. I do have hope that policies will change and immigrants will need to assimilate then reap the benefits of their new country. It's the only way it can work. |

we were saying it for four years , now its adjustment time , i hope ireland gets their adjustment right and i hope canada does what they need to - if the liberal bastions that feel they rule the world get isolated maybe they will see just how bad they really are , i would welcome those provinces as states - we went from 48 to 50 in 1959 , its about time we went to 54

| B.C. would never vote for separation but I could see Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba seceding. Just think how that would strengthen America with Alberta's vast oil deposits and Saskatchewan and Manitoba's wheat and other products. Added bonus, the home of my Father's side of the family, Winnipeg would be American. 'Murica! |

If this where to happen I think the departing provinces would form a new Country, not join the US. THE REPUBLIC OF WESTERN CANADA. RWC This way the departing provinces would not be over ruled by the larger US. Also the RWC could interface with the old remaining and still be Canada by another name. The RWC could pass home rule and prosper. |

True, although there are worse things than being an American state. States' rights would kick in so any powers not expressly written for the Federal government would automatically devolve to the three new states and they would have our Bill of Rights. Further, no tariffs on their exports so they would enjoy prosperity unheard of in their history of being Canadian provinces.

What do the Canadians think? I think it would work. The Canadian military would have to be divided and government assets as well. The wild card are the what do the indigenous people want to do? |

Militarily, it would be a pretty even split the new republic would have 4 Wing of the RCAF, and the 3rd Canadian Division of the Army. CFB Cold Lake with its Squadron of CF18s, and CFB Edmonton and CFB Shiloh with 1 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group would be proportional to the other provinces. No navy bases of course since they're mainly split between CFB Esquimalt and CFB Halifax unless they wanted to build one on Hudson Bay. Paddy makes a good point, nothing will happen without the aboriginals agreeing to it.

| I hope it happens, either the three provinces joining the U.S. or going their own way and form a new republic. It's just unfortunate that Pee-Air isn't alive to see the inevitable result of his arrogant dismissing of the western provinces. It was he who lit the slow fuse of western separation when he was P.M. |

| In Canada, the Crown owns indigenous lands, allowing them to govern them through treaties. The majority of tribes will follow the money and benefits, which I don't see a fledgling Western Republic willing to supply for no return. I do see the WR offering partnership in projects like mining, oil/gas on reservation land but that would replace current traditional federal goverment payments. Tribes that want to prosper will participate, but I suspect the majority will move to BC or east to Manitoba, Ontario or Quebec. |

Most 1st nations leaders have expressed the opinion that if any separation within Canada happens - all bets are off & they will re-claim their territories. Exaple: They own most of the land in Quebec. (Thats probobly why Que hasn't separated.) Look what happened @ Oaka..they outgunned the police & military!

| No offense Hoadie, but I don't consider Quebec to be in the same league as Alta. and Sask. if it came to handling a rebellion. Oka was all aboot smuggling contraband from the US to reserves in Canada. Nothing noble aboot that as a RCMP officer was killed. Shamu. Canada has 1.8 mm indigenius (40% of that number is Metis [native and white] which a lot of full blooded Native Canadians don't particularly like) which is 5% of Canadas population. Combined, Alta and Sask has around 450 k. I suspect a good number would end up in Vancouver, BC. |

| Yes, the natives were using the fact that their reserve straddled the border to smuggle cheap cigarettes into Canada but the main cause of the dispute was developers wanting to expand the golf course from 9 holes to 18 holes and build 60 condominiums adjacent to the tribe's traditional burial ground. |
