Not hard to do if you don’t have to pay for your own self defense. Add that little nugget into the budget and things get dicey.
Not a good example. Canada was born from one unified culture and political tradition. “Transfer payments” are then just a normal part of Government of a unified and culturally common people. The example Quebec prove this point - and you can see how now twice in the last 30+ years Quebec nearly declared itself sovereign.
what we really need is a system which provides a means of dumping (as in bums’s rush) a sh!tbird/marxist dictator(s) when the unthinkable happens, without waiting for the next November(s) that may never come and/or its citizens (not occupants) to wake up!!!!!!!!!!
Semper Waiting!

Exactly what is Greece going to be exporting in such huge quantities to Germany if their currency falls then?
From what I understand of Canada’s model, it is this...
- the bulk of the population lives in Ontario and Quebec, and comprises a giant leeching sponge with ever growing demands for welfare benefits.
- Quebec has the additional feature of being an aggrieved minority group, much like our hispanic Reconquistas, feels that they are “owed” reparations.
- on top of this they have flung open the doors to more or less unfettered immigration, causing a massive influx from the third world, 90% of whom have settled in Metro Toronto.
- Plus the Eskimos (excuse me....Inuit) have been given their own ethnic grievance welfare stated called Nunavut.
- Manitoba and Saskatchewan are mirror-images of Minnesota, being governed by holdover early 20th. century Socialist parties, sort of like the DFL party on steroids.
- the Maritimes are like the most backward parts of Mississippi or Arkansas, with a very low per-capita income and massive welfare dependency.
- British Columbia is like a bolt-on part of Seattle, with some service industries, import docks, and timber to the extent that the Enviros allow it to be harvested.
- All of the wealth is being generated by oil and mining activites in Alberta, the Northwest Territories and the Yukon.
- People in the productive areas like Alberta greatly resent all of their wealth being drained away to pay for welfare programs, mainly to prop- political constituencies in Ontario and Quebec.
- People in Quebec keep toying with the idea of independence, except that they realize that an independent Quebec would crash and burn economically within 30 days. So they hang on, looking for clever ways to press their demands while continuing to tap into the national umbilical cord.
- No matter how upset people in other regions of the country become, Ontario always carries the day, due to their overwhelming electoral numbers.
THIS is a model for Europe, or anybody else?
As a former BC kanuck, western canadians have already knew about the equalization payments to the mafia boss: Quebec. This has always been the dirty little secret behind the true “unification” of canada.
Alberta and Newfoundland are of British origin but they differ form the rest of Canada,mostly because Newfoundland wasn’t Canada till 1949.
New Brunswick much like Maine and Vermont was originally settled by Acadians which still leaves ties with the border.
As for Quebec,they are a bunch of French Catholics who were more then glad to sell out their own.If they harmed the British empire,it wasn’t because they choose to,it is because their mentality was poison to it.
