Wexit: Is it a serious issue for Canada?

Postby Unity for NS » Sat Oct 26, 2019 10:47 am

After Justin Trudeau's victory in the Canadian election with an minority government, a Facebook group VoteWexit.com surged ahead from 2,000 members to currently over 252,000 members. The idea is where the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan (mainly) would separate from Canada proper and become their own country. Other ideas include Manitoba and British Columbia. This is due to both the feeling that Eastern Canada runs the country, and that they do not care about their issues. The reasoning is clearly shown is the election results. Alberta and Saskatchewan both did not elect an single Liberal MP, as combined the two provinces only elected one MP who was not a Conservative (an NDP MP in Edmonton). British Columbia and especially is this election, more rural parts of the province had a Conservative surge from 2015. Manitoba is not majorly affected as that province still elected three Liberal MP's.

Trump should promise military aid for these reasons if they secede from their eastern tyrants.

Wexit is not an issue, and will never be an issue. It's literally a boomer facebook page that has no real idea what they're doing, other than to stir up and help divide Canada.

That being said, Ottawa has been ignoring major western needs for some time.

Just because you're throwing a hissy fit because your guy lost, doesn't mean you get to start a civil war. He is your prime minister, ya cry baby snowflake! Suck it up, buttercup!

If western parts of Canada may secede then it may be a way for USA to connect by land through annexation most of Western North American lands within.

Except Mexico, it might be a large continent under a single power.

I'd hope the situation is totally and completely incomparable but this reminded me of my view on the UK leaving the EU about ten years ago. And my heart played a tiny violin for itself for my lost innocence. :(

"Pftt, it's just a bunch of Baby Boomers, racists, and wealthy opportunists. They'll never win, the polls show it's irrelevant. It's just impotent tantrums."

I thought they'd implode into a gammon-y singularity at the first mention of things like maximum harmonisation. I miss that...

Anyhoo, hope this is just a bunch of whiners and my condolences to anyone that has to deal with them.

I think that in order to succeed, WEXIT needs for the Vancouver Canucks to make the Stanley Cup Finals, go to a game seven, and lose on a controversial call by a Canadian referee who's from Toronto, and a fanboy of Trudeau, and said loss should be to the Boston Bruins. Let's go Gary Bettman, make it happen!

I mean send in troops without uniform.

Hold a vote on Independence. Then a year later hold a second vote on annexation into the US.

I could see increasing our northern territory as very useful.

I doubt all of Western Canada would secede, honestly. While there is the perception that we are being shafted, I feel that the only place where western separation would really be a serious possibility is Alberta, and even then, I think that it's not going to happen.

Maybe if it is another Liberal majority, it might be conceivable, but right now, as it is a Liberal minority, I don't think western separation will really gain huge traction outside of Alberta.

The Quebec nationalists are far more organized and far more popular and they haven't succeeded in breaking away from Canada, so there's no way this movement has a chance.
