  2. So now Manitoba will have two ports to bring to the table when we get to Wexit.
    looks like Pallister is playing the long game under the radar.

  3. Do you have Counties or other subdivisions in Canada’s Provinces? If so, maybe you should concentrate on organizing secession / Wexit on a county by county basis? Would a few British Columbian, NWT, Yukon, or Ontarian counties like to join a freer economic union that respects their non-urban people? It must be frustrating when all the decisions for your province are made by people that think meat comes shrink wrapped from a market, and electricity from the wall socket.

    Imagine if your new country can get acess to the Pacific directly, or through the Alaskan Coast? Or like you were joking here, to Lake Superior and the Atlantic, just like Minnesota’s International Port of Duluth. You would have more control of your oil and grain exports, not controlled by the folks in Ottawa, Montreal, and Toronto.

    I hope if you Wexit, it will be almost friendly like the Czechs and Slovaks; not the slaughter of the Serbs, Croats, and Bosnians.

    1. The precedent is from Quebec and one of their clarification questions. Northern Quebec voted 80-90% to stay with Canada, so the question that the Quebecois wanted answered is whether the boundaries would be present provincial limits, original provincial limits, or only the counties that were 50%+1 and higher.

      The answer that came back from the courts was that the majority vote within the province is binding on all citizens of the province, regardless of what an individual zone or city might do.

  4. 150 years ago they made an interesting decision. Manitoba’s east boundary ended at Lake of the Woods. Ontario’s west boundary ended just west of the Lakehead. The federal government had to decide whether to give the part of Rupertsland between the Lakehead and Kenora to their Manitoba neighbors who were part of the same community or to Ontario, centred on Toronto 2,000 km away. Easy choice – they gave it to Ontario. Canada bought us for £300,000 and invaded us in 1870 and 1885 and has raped us as only a colonial master can ever since.
