You’re way off on this one. Good attempt though.

So you guys don’t believe that of Quebec answers to separate on a clear question that they should be able to separate or that Brexit wasn’t a valid projection of democracy.
Your argument of if you don’t like it leave would apply to you in Alberta if remain is a minority position in Alberta.
The argument that all of Canada would have to agree is just a tyranny of the majority argument which is used to suppress populations. While I am steadfastly in the remain camp and would likely move to retire in Canada if this this happened people wanting independent nations aren’t traitors.
The existence of Canada is essentially the British recognizing that locals should rule themselves in order to avoid violent revolution.
