I can't even argue with a separatist because I don't actually know what the federal government does for us anymore. It seems all they do is take.
Maybe the solution is to come a few votes away from separation? It worked for Quebec, and now they can be as big of ####s as they want and the rest of the country will just stand pat and allow it, in fear that the Quebecois will get all ambitious again.
Or has it always been this way and we're just hopelessly screwed?
You know, if I thought there was a really easy way to diminish the east-west divide in this country, I would be making sure to capitalize on it. I guess the eastern half of this country doesn't want to get along with us.
