Canada didn't kick out the English like we did. They accepted independence as an act of Parliament. They seem culturally more subservient to the government than Americans are. JMO.

Yet in terms of net gain, Quebec has done very well within confederation, netting some $168 billion more from Ottawa that it paid out in taxes between 1962 and 1991. By comparison, Alberta with a population of a mere 3.2 million souls paid $139 billion more to Ottawa than it received in cash or services.

Simple solution. We trade New England for Alberta. Without Alberta taxes to underwrite their socialist experimentation, the sooner they will wake up . . . or go belly up.

Canadians believe in the good intentions of government, for no apparent reason other than the opportunity that belief offers, built right into the Party line ideology, to avoid responsible human adulthood.

The historical Canada was strangled in her bed by Trudeau and his Liberal Party accomplices, and a new deracinated Canada has taken her place. Luckily, younger Canadians are becoming cynical at an earlier age - everyone knows that the government lies and steals.

So a positive outcome is still possible, at least. :^]
