Is your end goal having confederation break apart and having the US swallow up some/all of the provinces?

No, America doesn't want to run Canada, the Provinces will become independent like Australia and New Zealand, Quebec will be a republic.

IMO Canada should just be a republic union with a loose central government and as much power to the provinces as possible.  Things like defense and other truly national concerns can be the domain of the feds. It's in their interests to form a political union to act as a power bloc internationally at the very least.

Canada can't be a republic, the foundation of Canadian constitutional law is the Treaty of Paris 1763 and associated British North America Act.

You can't just throw a switch and presto Canada is a republic, you'd have to write an entirely new constitution from scratch.

Good luck with that, Canada would cease to be in the process anyways.

Not at all. Better off with no union at all. Confederation simply put that provinces at each other's throats, things would be much better without Ottawa in the way.

If you look at the election map, you can see the different countries inside Confederation.

BC, Western Canada, Northern Ontario, Southern Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritimes.

If you decapitate it, remove the British Crown, all that flies apart and doesn't come back together.

That's why you are stuck with the Crown, that's why they don't open the constitution up.

Confederation can never be a republic, it is only a legal construct of the British Crown.

Looks like the Liberals will end up with a lower percentage of the "popular vote" than the Conservatives.

...reminds me of another election where the winner was declared "illegitimate".

No doubt the Canacucks will whine about it just the Democucks do.  

Some people think they live in ancient Athens with the white and black balls

Tho they wouldn't actually like it if they did, since democracy in of itself is a tyranny of the majority.

Bloc has thirty-some seats.  They might hold the balance of power.  What a country...

Yep...Betcha corks were popping over at SNC Headquarters. 

I was really hoping for a broader coalition and what might have been a real opportunity to press for a PR Parliament in the next election.  One would hope even Conservatives recognize they would be in a much better position right now if Trudeau had kept his promise about FPTP.

Bollocks...

If it wasn't for his politics, he'd made make a great politician.

Nah, his politics are a product of his lack of critical thought, too much of a cry baby bleeding heart to be a good politician.

Yeah but if he just ditched that baggage and learned to think critically, then he'd be great. Not that he's ever going to do that, just saying.

Thinking critically is unCanadian, it's a people ruled by their emotions, mostly fear of America.

Except PET.   Canadian Caesar.  He had no time for crybabies.

The exception that proves the rule. Contrast PET with other Canadian politicians, and it makes them look even worse.

This is the moment he was made.   St. Jean Baptiste 68'   The rioters get rowdy.   Everybody starts to flee.   PET stands his ground.
