... according to some Separatiste Quebecois who were defeated in two referenda, three decades ago. Clearly, it was a minority view.
Canada is indivisible.
That was Chretien's conclusion when they changed the laws about separation following the second referendum. The referenda happened because Ottawa was weak.
It should have been a national vote and Quebec would have been out just like that. That is why it was only a local vote.
And is stronger than ever with all Provinces being equally distinct and on equal footing with Quebec?
That was my initial thought which I very quickly dismissed. (Have you driven the road from Terrace to Prince Rupert?) Would it even be possible to build a port the size of Vancouver? Kitimat would likely be a better choice...…………….barely!
The inlet just above them is a much better site and the waters are much more protected from the open ocean. Gingolx would be the best area.
The site looks wonderful but we're talking about replacing Vancouver, which would require at least 3 highway accesses with a total of probably 30 lanes. Could they be built in that country? How about an airport the size of the one in Richmond? Flat land is very scarce in that country! Kitimat would probably be preferable.
What's your beef, again? Saskatchewan is finally a "have" Province after 150 years of "have not"? There's a good reason to commit treason?
Yes, I have and while at great expense it is possible to marginally improve the highway, Prince Rupert will NEVER be a port of Vancouver's dimensions or I'll eat my hat. Have you driven Highway 16 from Terrace to Prince Rupert?

Nah. Ditching a useless Crown that claims ownership of everything is reason enough.
