Imo, that is a little naive.
Ontario is, and always will be the seat of Canadian government. Even the Conservative party, with a Westerner in Harper as leader would pander to Ontario to maintain it's votes.
Even if the CPC were to do less to try and placate Quebec - with the possible consequence of seeing them finally leave while trying to rob us blind on the way out - the money not wasted there would be wasted in Ontario.
That is one of the things that will never change in Canadian politics.
And it is specifically why the CPC is slowly moving to the left.

Actually Harper was born and raised in Eastern Canada (Eastern = anything east of Manitoba's eastern border). I don't think we have the right to claim him all to ourselves. Ontario and Quebec have as much right to call him one of their's as well since he lived there before he moved west. We have no other alternative but share him with them. :smooch:
