Canada is going to split into two countries in the very near future.

Care to put a date on that?  The next election will go Liberal,
the Alliance will pick up a few seats but nothing like a majority.
Canadians are  ruly, benevolent consumers of bureaucracy.
I predict....nothing will happen.

"Canadians are ruly, benevolent consumers of bureaucracy. I predict....nothing will happen."

I remember my view of Americans on September 10th, 2001. I found them a warm, hospitable and friendly people, however, when it came to foreign policy they feared bloodshed and had to be dragged kicking and screaming into any global conflict. Thus their response to attacks against their interest abroad was generally to pack-up and go away. No wonder Osama bin Looney thought nothing would happen as a result of 9-11.
