This is not an attempt to start a movement. Purely a question to generate discussion on the merits or lack thereof brought to the table by the machine of Parliament/Senate which consumes so much from 'the country' which in reality exists in its citizens, not in the federal government.

I'd say sorry but obviously like these discussions so I say thank you.
One of the flaws in the idea of 13 siblings is that no one in the Canadian Confederation thinks like that. Ontario and Quebec see themselves as parents and all others children (colonies or regions) that should be working the land making the parents ever richer.
The demise of the Parents or Federal government is the demise of Ontario and Quebec, who really are Canada.
That said your question gets people thinking, talking, and that's a good thing. There is support for making Canada better, better for Alberta, better for all but not in Ottawa who want as little change as possible. In that case those siblings should start looking out for themselves. There comes a time when the fruit ripens, the children leave home, the baby bird must fly.......
