>Do you want to break up the country so all the money and people are in one part, and you and a bunch of dirt roads are in the remaining part?

Well, that's the big secret about Canada: the place with the bunch of dirt roads is actually where all the money Ontario and Quebec need to pay their bills comes from (https://i.imgur.com/HnmVWkT.jpeg).

Guess the Federal government should have been paying attention to the economic conditions in its own provinces and the provinces to its East, but then again why should they bother when they can just loot the productive "dirt road" Western provinces (of both cash and political sovereignty that should by all rights be buying) instead?
