Other countries, including the United States, will divide and conquer until the imbalance of power is sufficient for them to get what they want from what was once Canada, at a reduced cost.

The Canadian federation is not perfect. Nothing is. But in the long run, ever smaller fragments of Canada will be less powerful than an intact Canada with an improved federal government. So, unless the separatists can demonstrate that improvement to the federation is impossible or sufficiently improbable, I think they are proposing a solution to immediate problems that is detrimental in the long term.

It may be less beneficial to some short term interests, but I think in the long term it will be better to keep Canada together and work on improvements to the federation.

Follow the money. Who stands to gain from a divided Canada? How will those gains be distributed among the people?

Mixed with greed.

A deadly sin combined with the root of all evil to produce an adverse outcome.

These aren’t new ideas. Just a couple of humanity’s perpetual problems, still not solved.
