This is a hypothetical scenario where Quebec and Alberta both secede from Canada and become separate countries. I don't want this to happen, but if our national politics continue to be polarized the way they are now, this may be a solution that pleases the parties, since they can't seem to get along.
Some people may have questions about this scenario. Firstly, what happens to the Atlantic provinces if Quebec secedes? Won't they feel isolated from the rest of the country? My solution to that is the following: Quebec agrees to cede a small strip of land that will become a bridge to the Atlantic provinces. This land will either become a part of Canada, or will be designated an international crossing route with no actual attachment to any country.
Probably the more important question, though, is why would you want to split up our great nation? Well, I addressed that at the top. I think our federal political parties are taking steps to fracture the country. This could be a result if they decide not to work together. It's an ugly one, but a possibility, nonetheless.
One other, less important question, if this were ever to occur:
What would Montreal's NHL team be called?
