Adding to the whole make believe scenario

We don't know how the U.S. would react to a breakup with Canada. It might just move to kill the whole NAFTA deal since Canada isn't Canada anymore. And besides its not like relations between Canada and the U.S are stellar right now, they just might love an opportunity to stick it to Paul Martin.

We don't know.

Hopefully it dosen't come to this, but if Alberta splits off from Canada and tries to establish thier own trade agreements with the States, then Canada or Nafta has no say it in.

However with the U.S's need for Oil, and thier desire to reduce thier consumption of mid east oil, I'm pretty sure that Alberta would be able to gain pretty favorable terms from the States. And if we can sell our goods and services straight to the U.S. without Ottawa intervention, then we can remove the trade hammer from the surviving Canada since we can get any goods and services from the States that we could get from Canada.

Just theorizing anyways.
