Basically chickened out on a referendum to separate (avoid egg on the face) and here's some red meat for the wolves to distract themselves. I believe a new republic must stretch from the Great Lakes to the Pacific and have at least 80% support across a broad field including the western provinces, the indigenous treaty holders and the territories, including Ontario west of 88⁰ and so the idea of Alberta going it alone obviously ends up with them becoming a US state at best, a territory like Puerto Rico more likely. More work is needed.
Critiques political strategy and proposes alternative policy framework for regional separation, comparing different governance models.

25% is meaningful and serious, but friendly.\nWhat's really noticeable about PM Trudeau is the inappropriate conceited smiling he does because of the attention upon himself. He should work on that.
