Canada 🇨🇦 has changed. Wexit is a symptom, of serious problems.
Canada 🇨🇦 is dying now and will at some point start to decay. Wexit is the current discussion but it is just a symptom, it is not the disease.
The disease lies in economics, demography, and geography. Canada is not a united population on any of these fronts, and everything is going against keeping it together.
A cowboy from Alberta or even the interior of BC has much more in common culturally with the folks in Montana or Idaho than he does with someone from Toronto. Even the land is more similar.
But it is the demographics and the resultant economics that will ruin our so-called nation. There is no way the government can fund the promises they have made to all the retirees in Ontario and Quebec, no matter how confiscatory they make the tax laws. This is the real reason the Trudeau government seems so desperate to raise taxes of all sorts and impose new ones. Some analyst with a spreadsheet made a graph and showed them what the next 20 years looks like. Unavoidable bankruptcy of the federal government.
Immigration won’t help, although it might back-fill for lost low skilled (and thus low paid) labor. The talent that is immigrating goes to the US, where they get treated better and have more opportunity.
Wind farms won’t help because they are too far away from markets.
Technology won’t help because the folks who can contribute to that end up in the US.
Everything is stacked against Canada, and it will die. It has only survived as long as it has the same way the Soviet Union did; by selling oil. But it seems like that has played out as well.
Wexist is but a symptom. The ship is going down and people are running for the life boats. It won’t happen quickly, but 20 years from now Canada will be a failed state, with what young talent we do have desperately trying to flee and the government unable to pay its bills.

Your smart strong people. Find a way to change your situation with sound thought and unity. Beware emotion it is the enemy of common sense.
