This article needs linking to some general contexts. And there must be a more useful title for this authentic phenomenon... a variant on Devolution, which article is currently much too narrowly Anglocentric, perhaps? From my doubtless parochial but urban-centered POV all creationism seems rather provincial... --Wetman 21:39, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Being a resident of Vancouver Island, i've heared talk of V.I seperating from the mainland
Thank you for allowing Alaska on the list! Kanga-Kucha.
"Alaska - Some Canadians and Alaskans have discussed the possibility of the state of Alaska seceding from the United States and joining Canada under an autonomous plan with a U.S. sphere of influence. This is comparable to what some Quebec separatists have advocated for in the past (sovereignty-association). The issue has been discussed on various forums, such as the Alaska Independence Party forum, and has its own MySpace group, which claims Alaska as the "lost province". However the movement is not a formal movement nor is it a political party. Therefore there is little chance of Alaska joining Canada in the near future."
Never heard talk of Nunatsiavut separating from Labrador/NL.
Need way more referencing in this article... hard to tell the wheat from the chaff. What proposals are serious, and which are idle chatter that aren't worth mentioning? How far have they gotten?
