Anyone who stops to think for a second about the ramifications of provincial separation would realize it's a fool hardy idea. Particularly for landlocked provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan, where all trade would have to pass through Canada/America and be at the mercy of those countries to do so.

Canada couldn't allow it's only major railroad line and road network connecting the country to be seperated like that as well. At best Canada would maintain ownership of the highways and raillines, but more likely it would violently fight over the transit rights and to keep the provinces in.

Also, it's obvious that America would simply annex the two new "nations" and turn them into something like ~~Puerto Rico~~ US Samoa, so American rule without any of the benefits like representation or citizenship.

This is just foreign propaganda trying to destroy Canadian unity and interfere with our politics/election.

I am completely opposed to U.S. imperialism, but it's important to note that Puerto Rican's are U.S. citizens.

Ah, well then I'm mistaken, I was thinking of US Samoa. Thanks for letting me know.
