You must be new to political threads, four-by. That's Ronald's MO.
Anyway, I've always been a soft-federalist at best, and I wouldn't exactly cry if we chose to dump Ontario and Quebec and go it on our own. Will this cause the people to rise up and overthrow Ottawa? Nope. But imagine if we had a premier with the kind of passion Lougheed had right now? If nothing else, I'd love to see Alberta precipitate a constitutional crisis by holding a referendum on whether we wish to withdraw support for the Constitution.
Canada has been broken for a very long time now, and while Meech Lake and Charlottetown both failed in attempts to remake this country, this disgraceful performance by the people supposedly elected to represent us argues strongly for the need to try again.
