if Ouebec left Canada you would see the end of third world immigration into the province. The USA might have a chance to capture some, or all of the eastern provinces. Alberta might jouin the USA. Many interesting things could come from this.
Joining the US would have been a lot more likely in 95, when the loonie was worth $0.60 American. Give this country a couple more election cycles to fragment and deteriorate and impoverish itself, and it’ll be US going to Canada cap in hand.
I hear you. Canada has done a very good job with its banking system & is in a better place now than it was in the 90s. I guess no one knows just what would happen if Canada fractured. I love the eastern provinces, but that voting block would, I suspect, be left of center if they joined the Union. Lol, I suspect most of the country would be happy to see New England join Canada.
They’d have to negotiate themselves into NAFTA, I suspect. The “PROVINCE” of Quebec is not a signatory at present.
I also wonder what would happen to the St.Lawrence Seaway agreement. Would they put up a toll booth in the middle of the river?
