From the "status box discussion" about these things.

I think that Canada would work best as 4 countries, with all 4 western provinces as a single country.
The_Squid says BC would never join such a country.

Argus says that Ontario and Quebec should be split into 3 or 4 provinces each
I agree somewhat.


Here is my plan for Ontario:

And I'd be willing to settle for this:

And this would be the Province of Vancouver Island, Regions by Population:

I think at the very least, Northern Ontario would benefit by seceding from Southwestern Ontario. By having their own government, Northern Ontario would be better able to deal with its particular issues, since it seems like Queen's Park isn't the least bit interested.

Where do you draw the border? South of Parry Sound? South of North Bay? South of Timmins?

I don't want no freekin breakup until Ontario get out of its financial mess. I'm entitled to my entitlements and if Ontario goes it alone I might lose some cash.

If Ontario was it's own country, it would be in surplus this year.

If Toronto was it's own country, we could reduce sales taxes to 0, and, still be in surplus, this year.

That's how much we contribute to Canada in corporate and income taxes. In return they insult us.

Not all of us.

In return they insult us.

How?

so... dissing your fav hockey team is enough to break up the country! Just how old are you?

"-leafs" takes out all search results with that word in it.

I purposely disincluded it because even I think the leafs suck, and I don't even follow sports.

oh... right. Sorry, I immediately associated Leafs and Toronto Sucks. In any case, let's try again... dissing your fav city is enough to break up the country!

[TheNewTeddy]

It goes beyond "dissing"

People honestly think that Toronto somehow gets billions upon billions from confederation when the opposite is in fact true.

I say that Toronto, and/or Ontario should separate, just for a year, to show people the reality of the numbers.

Actually the leafs are one of the most successful sports teams in history!

The NAU, which people in the US and Canadians don't want, well, it seems they are changing it abit but I still don't trust the Canadians and Americans behind this, which would be the leader of the country. Here's Q&A's of what could be for North America and like it or not it includes ALL of NA not just changes within Canada. http://www.unitednor...ica.org/faq.htm
