brought in an equal American-style Senate
You want PEI (population: 137,000) to have an equal say as Alberta (population: 3.2 million) or Ontario (population: 12.5 million)?
No, what we want is a parliment based on population, and a senate that is equal between provinces. It's a balance thing see?

Anyways, I'd probably vote yes on a seperation initiative, although if only to push for more rights for ourselves, ALA Quebec.
If we were to seperate, we'd have to take BC with us, and I'd take Saskatchewan as well without to much worry. The biggest problem with taking NWT is the Arctic ocean needs defending (soonish at least).
Of course we'd be railroaded by BC's liberals then but hey
(I find BC kind of funny actually, they vote commies in for provincial, but Con's the whole way in Federal...)
I think if the liberals do get in again, you'll start hearing more rumbles from Alberta et all about seperation.
