The world is a bigger place than you see in Facebook memes and out your window.
And as The only country willing or capable of enabling and policing world trade routes, And now no longer needing to import oil, What they decide to do with these two factors affect the rest of the world.

America doesn't want western Canada. They already have control of a big chunk of the Canadian economy. Separatists won't be welcomed. There are separatists in California too and Washington won't recognize western Canada because it would be precedent. The Americans have fought a war over secession and don't need another. Look at Britain's efforts to get out of the EU. The rest of Canada could make it very difficult and very expensive. It's not as simple as having a vote and wave goodbye. Alberta has become more liberal with immigration so separatism won't be universally accepted. The question of land values is irrelevant.

But on the other hand, Manifest Destiny, and the Monroe Doctrine are still alive and well.
The destinies of our nations will not be dictated by foreign powers; they will be shaped by the people who call this hemisphere home. Today, we proudly proclaim for all to hear: the Monroe Doctrine is alive and well." — National Security Adviser John R. Bolton, Miami, Florida April 17, 2019.

Originally posted by samhill View PostIn 1871, the Government of Canada entered into Treaty 1 and Treaty 2 to obtain the consent of the indigenous nations from the territories set out respectively in each Treaty. The Treaties provided for the taking up of lands "for immigration and settlement". In order to settle the area, Canada invited mass emigration by European and American pioneers, and by settlers from eastern Canada. It echoed the American homestead system by offering ownership of 160 acres of land free (except for a small registration fee) to any man over 18 or any woman heading a household. They did not need to be British subjects, but had to live on the plot and improve it.[1
I don’t see how you can say most land, other than 9.7%, is owned by the Crown, or Queen of England, when the Dominions Land Act gave ownership to homesteaders upon meeting the requirements.
