Nah, population is too fragmented, Ont has 14M peeps which represents almost 40% of the population.

Ont will always make sure it regains the power of Canada in Ont.
This you will never change.

And most of them live in Canada's penis with sweet **** all for a future being on the wrong end of the country for raw materials and easy access to 2.7 Billion Asians.

Saskatchewan can be flat and dull. Like its inhabitants.

It's not as flat as you think.

"Citizens, you are naked and ill-fed! Government owes you much and can give you nothing. The patience and courage you have shown in the midst of these rocks are admirable; but they gain you no renown; no glory results to you from your endurance. It is my design to lead you into the most fertile plains of the world. Rich provinces and great cities will be in your power; there you will find honor, glory, and wealth. Citizens of North America will you be wanting in courage or perseverance?"

I'm in! Got a flag and rifle in hand!

Umm. . . what flag should it be?

How about this one. . .

It's not as flat as you think.

To respond in the words of someone I know you revere. . .

"Go **** yourself."

-- Vice President Richard B. Cheney, June 22, 2004

We already have one cooked up by the Wester Independence Party.

Maple Leaf does not grow west of Ont, just another demonstration of where the power lies.

Are you nuts?

Maple trees grow maple leaves.

There are ten species (some have as many as three different names) of maple tree native to Canada. They grow in all areas of the country except the territories.

You only have 3 Hockey teams in Eastern Canada.

As of the 2016 Census, the total population of Western Canada was nearly 11.2 million, including approximately 4.65 million in British Columbia, 4.07 million in Alberta, 1.2 million in Saskatchewan, and 1.28 million in Manitoba.

Yukon and NWT are booming too.

That is spread out over a vast area, though. The biggest centers are not big enough, yet. I was part a group a couple of decades back that was considering setting up the manufacture of various types of specialty door products ... mall doors, rolling and folding grilles, heavy roll-up shutters, etc. "8350 Products" for those of you in the construction industry.

The conclusion was that yes, the Western region as a whole was big enough to sustain a factory like that but no one city within it was. Your cash flow and profitability would be enemic, at best. Also, raw materials all come from outside the region, so that easy transportation in (and out) was critically important. We seriously thought about setting up shop in a point right in the middle of the region which we concluded was Kamloops. Both major trans-national railways and highways pass through that point as well as the obvious asset of being by the Coquihalla.

To really make a profitable "go" of it, though we needed to export further afield, which meant to the huge and juicy California market. That begged the question, "Why not just manufacture in California where labour us cheaper, more plentiful, aluminum is extruded locally, the market isn't spread out and diffuse, climate isn't an added expense, transportation is plentiful, lots of local wealth ..." Etc. Etc. The latter scenario is what really happens in the real world.

You are still not "big" enough, out there. It will come but not for a while, yet. However jingoistic you feel about yourselves and your abilities, it will not stand up to the cold steel of having to operate manufacturing businesses profitably. Even if you believe that you are really, really, REALLY good, you are still too thin on the ground to support locally made products.

It will come.

Someday.

Ontario isn't in it alone, either.There is vigorous trade between Ontario and Quebec 24 million within a six hour drive AND add Michigan, New York State it the number magically doubles within a day's drive.
