This is a terrible idea. I don't have time to get into the debate, but the reasons have been raised in this thread already.

Having said that, it is possible that Dion could become the next PM and implement this. My question(s) to the room is:

Will Alberta have a seperation referendum in response?
Is there the infrastructure in place from a credible group to organize one?

Joe six pack might sit there and say he wants to seperate, but until someone credible steps up to organize one, it isn't going to happen. I think it has to happen from the provincial conservatives and I don't see Ed doing it.
