This reminds me of this: Lucien Bouchard, the charismatic leader of the Bloc Québécois, was forced to have his leg amputated after contracting a case of flesh-eating disease.

Nothing I have ever seen could be a better metaphor for separation. Y'all be fukked in the head.

So part of him got separated from Canada. Even paid for by Canadian taxpayers.

without having a single separatist in a western provincial legislature?

shouldn't you be trying to get yourself established at that level first? Like Quebec separatists have done?

Should be renamed "Republic of Western Whateverthefuk"

Canada shouldn't be in the name at all, cause it wouldn't be Canada.

Who in their right mind would incorporate the name of the country that they are trying to escape.


I was at the Wexit rally immediately after the Election. The leaders of this movement are on the fringe of society, and have zero answers to the problems Western Canada is facing. If these people start gaining a foothold of the Western Canadian landscape, I will personally contemplate moving east. Let us not forget the Quebec separatist movement did to that province.


Moving South I could understand, but East?... That'd be like making the deliberate decision to seek a place in a leper colony
