Wexit will never happen in your life time. Why? Because those Wexit people that want to separate are just your typical Canadian. All talk, with no walk. Separatism will peter out and be gone in another year. Just saying.
It has the strongest support to date in my life at present . That support can only grow . It took years for the Bloc to get a referendum and will likely take years in Alberta , but the sentiment is growing and will not go away soon .We see the Bloc in Quebec receiving more support recently showing that even after two tries that issue is still on the forefront there .

Quebec will never separate willing from Canada. The rest of Canada will have to separate from Quebec. The french in Quebec would stand to lose their control and power over Canada if they did separate, plus they would end up becoming more like a Maritime province running to France to please help them.

French separatism is all just a big farce that the corrupt and inept french politicians have been putting on for several decades now, and the rest of Canada allows them to get away with their constant threats of separatism. And what is even much more stupid is the fact that the Anglophones have handed the rest of Canada over to the french for free. Now ask me? Who are the real dumb asses here? The french or the English? Myself, it looks more like the latter to me. Oui-oui, anh!!!

Scheer refuses to acknowledge MP's controversial criticism of health officer

OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer refused Thursday to address controversial comments by a member of his caucus who is also seeking to replace him as leader.
Derek Sloan, an MP from rural Ontario and one of four candidates in the leadership race, sent an email to supporters about chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam, asking "does she work for Canada or China" in guiding this country's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
His allegations are connected to Tam's work with the World Health Organization, which has come under suspicion for basing its guidance on how to respond to COVID-19 on reportedly false information from China about the emergence and spread of the novel coronavirus there.
"Dr. Tam must go!" he wrote. "Canada must remain sovereign over decisions. The UN, the WHO, and Chinese Communist propaganda can never again have a say over Canada's public health!"
Tam was born in Hong Kong, and Sloan's challenge of her was labelled as racist by many commentators on social media, including Liberal members of Parliament.
"To be blunt, Derek Sloan's characterization of (chief public health officer) Dr. Theresa Tam was racial profiling," wrote Liberal MP Sukh Dhaliwal.
"The fact that we have a member of Parliament engaging in such politics — especially in the middle of a pandemic — is disgusting."
While there were calls for Scheer to denounce Sloan's remarks, in a tense back-and-forth with reporters Thursday the outgoing party leader refused to discuss them at all.
Scheer is to step down once his replacement is chosen, a process currently on hold due to the widespread shutdown of Canada to stop the spread of COVID-19.
"As a rule I don't comment on leadership candidates or on policy announcements or positions that leadership candidates have taken," he said, a message he repeated several times.
"I'll leave it to each leadership candidate to speak for themselves and explain their views and ultimately it will be up to members to select the next leader of the party."
Tam said she's working over 20 hours a day with the goal of protecting the health of Canadians.
"My singular focus is to work with all of my colleagues to get this epidemic wave under control," she said.
"I don't let noise detract me from doing that."
Sloan's hard stance on China is one that's been echoed across the conservative world, including by his fellow competitors in the race.
He's added his name to a letter signed by two other leadership candidates, Erin O'Toole and Peter MacKay, as well as over 100 political analysts and figures globally, alleging a widespread coverup by China of the scope of the problem caused by the coronavirus.
The fourth candidate, Leslyn Lewis, has also been critical of China, saying the country can't be trusted as a source for Canadian supplies.
Scheer has previously refused to express his own confidence in Tam. He said again Thursday there are questions about why the government acted on some pieces of advice, and not others, and his job is to press the government on those matters.
"Why were they so reliant on information that was coming out of the WHO instead of listening to domestic Canadian voices who were advising this government to take this threat much more seriously much earlier on?" he asked.

She really does have the face and does appear to be a Chinese communist spy alright living and working in Canada. But there is no doubt about it that she is a lieberal, and Turdeau says that he does admire communist China. I wonder as to how many Chinese spies Turdeau has working for him? I am pretty sure that I can start with one.

Yet . A butterfly flaps his wings causing a nip of wind , the fly moves off the branch knocking the seed into the lake creating an ever increasing ripple , moving the fish along the shore , causing the flock of shore birds to , and on and on .

That’s total BS.

Separation on both coasts is a fable perpetrated by sniveling babies who throw tantrums when they don’t get what they want.

Nope!

Even the Ontario PCs turned into the NDP.

Never been happier.

Neither Quebec or Alberta has a coast.

Actually I guess Quebec does if you count Hudson Bay
