I am also from The West. I am 100% on board with splitting up Canada. We are already in nice sized chunks, make Canada a stack of different countries. If the East doesn't want western resources they don't need them, they can keep getting it from the middle East, and we can search for our own markets. We can try and take northern BC with us, no one lives there anyways.<br />
<br />
Canadian government hates business, and they are winning the propaganda war to make the idiot citizens hate business as well.<br />
<br />
As far as splitting up, Quebec already wants to do it, and has tried a few times. Let them leave, and use it as a roadmap for everyone else leaving as well.

We'd need to use existing boundaries or it'll never happen. Splitting up a province would be unbelievably difficult. I propose we include the entirety of Manitoba, Sask, Alberta, B.C.<br />
That gives us deep water ports on both sides (Churchill, MB. Prince Rupert and Vancouver, BC). And the border between Manitoba and Ontario has, I think, 3 roads. It's about the easiest border to setup a new international boundary across.<br />
<br />
In the end, it's not a Right vs. Left issues. It's an West vs. East issue. <br />
I became a separatist during the Harper years. The most pro Western, Right leaning PM we'd had in a very long time. And he had a majority government to boot. And he still didn't do nearly as much for the West as was needed. He spent most of his time pandering to the East, because he had to. That's where the power lies. That's where the votes are. <br />
It was during his years that I realized things will never change and it's time to get out.<br />
<br />
Last I checked we'd be the 16th largest economy in the world. And that's before accounting for pent up growth we'd experience after being unshackled from the East. <br />
We'd do very well on our own, maybe so well that everyone here complaining about their jurisdiction will have to move to the new country of Western Canada.<br />
<br />
I'm confident it'll happen one day. But I'm not sure if it'll happen soon enough to save the West.</div>
