"This new Canada are whiners and sponges. They wouldn't exist without our economy. If Quebec every splits from Canada, the rest of Canada fill fall and end of asking to join the USA."

Not western Canada, it is a different country. It is also prosperous and self sufficient.

But keep the digs coming, many western Canadians feel exactly the same way about eastern Canada as you do.

In the late 70's (I believe it was), Quebec voted on secession from Canada. This was not the first try at splitting from Canada.

At that time, there was talking about western and eastern Canada talking (behind the scenes) about joing the USA. At that time, they were not strong enough economically to survive without outside help, since most of the major money was wrapped up in Quebec.

It was commonly thought the NEW Canada would be just Quebec and the remaing provinces would be admitted quite easily tio the USA. Times have changed and I don't think it would be that easy.

I do believe western Canada is a different people then those in power. Unfortunately a line has been drawn in the dirt and we're on opposing sides. I hope it changes and we can be friends again.
