We do not really want the maritimes. We want the prairie provinces. What I guess might be an ideal (although not likely) solution: Quebec goes on its own. Maritimes, territories (Yukon, NWT, etc) and Ontario remain as Canada. And the western provinces join the US: Sask, Manitoba, Alberta and BC. Would that be a viable Canada? Or would Ontario go on its own, and kick out the maritimes? Also, doesn't northern Quebec have a bunch of Indians who don't want to be part of another country?

I would really be surprised if Quebec separates. Lots of immigrants in Quebec are making it less French. It probably couldn't win in a province-wide referendum.

I as a canadian will never allow that to happen. What you're saying is treason. The only province I wanted to go is Quebec. Heck, they find calling themselves "canadian" offensive.

Don't forget the NW territories/Yukon/Nunavut or whatever the hell they call it nowadays.

True true, I believe it has already been voted on at least once and was defeated handily.

Maybe the Atlantic Provinces would opt out. If Canada ever broke apart, that's what I'd consider. I'm not sure if we could pull it off, but I'd sure like to try. There's not a lot of love here in the True East for ON and Quebec.
