Truth be told, Canada and the United States are quite similar in our differences. If you look over to the left there, my "location" is a bit of a joke, a bit of a truism. The "Prairie Provinces" and the American "Northern Great Plains" have a heck of a lot more in common with each other than we do with Toronto, Montreal, New York City or Los Angeles. Similarly, Washington and Oregon are culturally closer to BC than they are to Florida, Texas or the maritimes.
If you cast aside the borders and said "pick someone to pledge allegiance to", for most people around here, it would be a country of Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Montana and the Dakotas before it would be the existing system.

All of this is moot however. It would never happen, unless you refused to turn over Terrance and Phillip.

Good point. We'd also get a couple of hockey teams. Move one of 'em back to Winnipeg and it's Alberta, for the win, lol. Between the oil, lumber, food and other resources, we'd be pretty self sufficient. Too bad they moved most of the nukes out of North Dakota, at one point if the state would have seceded, we'd have been the third most powerful nuclear nation.
