Quebec and Alberta are provinces of Canada, so legally speaking, I’m sure their status in Canada is different from this territory.
It’s probably analogous to how US possessions such as Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands have a different status, because they are not states.
True. But Quebec almost voted for independence. So there you go. So if there's some self-government in Nunavut, the French folks in Quebec may make a push for it. But I just looked up the demographics of Montreal. A lot of immigrants from Africa and the Middle East there. Pretty smart move by the Liberals. They will vote to maintain the status quo.
It’s already in law, provinces can separate and Alberta is getting mighty close.
