BC break away? - not a chance, we're with Oilberta and Saskatoba ... plan is to dig a big moat around metropolitan Toronto and push it across the lake, you can thank us later, and no we don't want any politicians in exchange, we have our own surplus thank you. Better watch it with the inflammatory rhetoric there - last time you guys tried invading us we went down and burnt your Capitol, that's why you have a white house now you know, we burnt the old chartreuse one, and we freed a bunch of your slaves, took them to Nova Scotia ... so look out, next time it might be Infospace workers.

Canada is an immigration destination, people come here to hang their hat and be who they were. As opposed to the States where people came to be Americans. The difference between the two countries is that Canada never had a document like the U.S. Constitution. B.C. tends to identify more with Hong Kong and India culturally than the rest of the country. Quebec will never be appeased and they don't want to separate and cut themselves off from Federal funding. Vancouver, British Columbia is an international city and a great place. Alberta and Saskatchewan have more in common with Montana and Wyoming culturally speaking than they do with Ontario and Quebec. I think if the country ever did split B.C. would go along with Alberta and Saskatchewan. It would be a toss up where Manitoba would go - hopefully split down the middle with the resource rich western half going to the new western Canada and the British Loyalists getting the eastern half that contains Winnipeg. I believe in the next 25 years the western half will merge with the States and the reason being water.
