Benifits of Sucession

Check out the History of Quebec for a taste of what it might do to an economy if you even suggest splitting up the country.

• Brain Drain as experienced professionals, business and educated youth flee the state or province so they won't be caught in a potentially decimating transition period from state or province to country.

• Corporation abandonment

• Radical governing body

• A "vagueness" about the future from this governmental body ie: What about currency, passports, the feasibility of separation from the larger government

• What would happen to the social systems that are run by the larger government?

• Will big business be willing to maintain corporate relationships and keep their companies and jobs in a new country?

• What about the rights of the existing population who own businesses, homes and have family in a state (province) in the larger country and are now a part of a country they don't want to be in?

• Citizenship, What if the larger country refuses dual citizenship?

• Taxation and governmental budgets, where will the money come from to run this new country.

• Will democracy be maintained?

• Will the same rights and rules be observed? IE: supreme court system, healthcare (universal if in Canada) welfare, employment insurance, old age pensions,

• Who will defend this new country?? Who will protect it?

• If big business moves on, if the brain drain occurs, then what? What resources are fail-safe to these occurrences that will support the society?

Sparrows right about the borders being closed, if the borders are shut to you how are you going to get the essentials in to your new country...what about air travel and cross country train tracks...I mean the list goes on and on and on.
Blitzgirl is also right, people take their rights and services for granted. Most people have no clue how government runs and the dream world they live in doesn't ask questions like..."Well, we get our power from a HUGE hydro damn built in native territory...but it's still ours right? I mean, those native populations voted 98% against separation but that doesn't count."

Basically every time the issue of separation is raised in Quebec the provinces stock plummets. A Quebec without Canada is nothing, a Canada without Quebec...will keep on chugging in my opinion.

Germany did the opposite 20 years ago when we reunited with east Germany and we still struggle with it. so as cheesy as it sounds 'never change a winning system' - organizing change is a bitch and will not make anything run smoother short or even mid-term

The Texas Nationalist Movement has created a political action group, so I guess this is still a thing with some people. Whether it will actually go anywhere is the real question.
