Another thread on another board about if one morning we woke up and the US were the only country left in the world with everything else replaced by ocean, got me thinking about starting a thread on what would happen if one morning, Canadians woke up and the rest of the world was gone, replaced by ocean, and only Canada was left. (Hrm, that was my longest run-on sentence, evar!)

So what would happen? Ottawa would become the capital city of the world, and because they exert so much control already, I could see the rest of the country splitting off into seperate countries if things don't go their way.

Obviously, Alberta would be extremely important, because we would need to provide the oil for all the cars to run in the east as well as here. If the east tries to exert too much control over Alberta's resources, I could see a civil war on the horizon, because there is no way our current armed forces could keep an entire province subjugated. (I think regular personnel in the armed forces only numbers about 60,000 at the moment)

Who would be the most powerful? What about fresh water, farming, food, etc.?
