However, they’re very French, and the British (while Canada was still a colony) probably wouldn’t want us at Quebec City’s and Montreal’s doorstep.

Aside from some people in Vancouver which has a shit ton of ontarian immigrants who basically have dumber politics than california the only problem British Columbians have with Alberta are that Albertans really cannot drive for shit and that a loud minority of Albertans are completely rude tourists who get in the way of locals trying to go about their business. My prediction is that pragmatism would win and BC and Alberta would end up being close allies cooperating on economic and military matters. Most people in BC really dont care about politics either way which is actually our problem because those who do tend to be assholes. The current wave of sort of pseudo eastern liberalism is coming to an end though because their idiotic economic management has made stuff too expensive for locals there are a lot of people who really want something new and the way the NDP locked down locals while allowing near free access for foreigners has completely pissed people off because we are ultimately quite localist/local first people. I just hope we dont go too far in the other direction and develop a reputation for outright hostility to outsiders.

The Commonwealth has evolved over quite some time since the days of the Empire. Multiple sovereign states now share the same monarch.

I'm British, but I'm proud of Canada as a fully independent country that we helped create, and an ally and friend. Canadian provinces could go down the route of some other ex-British territories around the world and replace their flags with random new flags (that often look like a child created them, in my opinion). It seems to be only small insignificant territories or countries, and ones that are very self conscious, insecure, and anti-British that seem to need to do this. Canada is certainly perceived as a strong independent post colonial nation, and not anti-British. Canada doesn't need to tinker around with it's provincial flags to prove this, like some impoverished sub-Saharan African state. Be proud of what you are. You were British. You're now Canadian.

Tensions between Quebec and the western provinces, particularly Alberta, are mainly economic, cultural and political. Indeed, Alberta maintains that the high standard of living of Quebecers depends on equalization, to which it contributes largely for the benefit of Quebec. The fact that the official language of Quebec is French, that it is the only French-speaking province in North America, irritates the rest of the majority English-speaking country, although two official languages, English and French, are on the same footing. of equality thanks to the Official Languages ​​Act of Canada, adopted by the government of Pierre-Elliot Trudeau in 1969. Western Canada considers itself to be governed by Prime Ministers from Quebec - such as Trudeau father and son, Mulroney , Chrétien - tend to favor Quebec, which is largely false. The disputes between Quebec and Ontario lie in the part which the Ontario capital, Toronto, monopolizes economically in relation to Quebec, thanks to the intervention of the federal government, which tends to favor Ontario in many areas. Hydro One, Ontario's state energy company, refuses, for example, to buy clean and cheaper electricity from Hydro-Québec.

One thing that many people don't know about Canada. There were and might still be laws in place to restrict inter provincial trade. In the late 80's and 90's we used to like Foster's beer but it wasn't available in Quebec. So friends of mine would go to Ontario, about 60km from Montreal to their ridiculous BEER STORE, and buy it in Hawkesbury or Cornwall Ont. To this day the Beer store still rules the beer industry in Ontario and its owned by the big breweries, Less so now as beer is available in some supermarkets and most liquor stores. But there still might be some products that are not legal to trade.

Quebec has had 2 independance referenda in the last 50 years and still has a rather large independance movement. It's quite funny seeing someone who has no real background with canadian history give his take on it considering just how complex this whole thing is even for Québécois citizens. Your language division is not quite correct as it only takes into account native speakers. For instance, 94% of Québec speaks french, 50% is french/english bilingual. Around 100% of Ontario speaks english, 10% is bilingual. Part of new brunswick could join up with Québec considering their 33% of french speakers that are currently getting shafted.

So Ontario can’t keep the Union Jack but the other flags can keep the Scottish flag and a french symbol. I’m pretty sure the person who made this video is just anti Uk

You say that there doesn't seem to exist any large rivalries between the provinces. But as I have understood things, there exists a huge rivalry between the eastern, and western provinces. I personally know a guy from Alberta, and he always goes on about how BC, AB, and SK should secede from Canada and form their own state. Mostly due to him not liking how all the economic output of the western provinces gets sent east to the people that "does not respect us and our way of life". I can of course not speak for him or these people, but i just thought it was worth mentioning.

Another interesting development from this scenario would be the independence of First Nations without Canada. There are pockets of land throughout Canada variable in size that are separate jurisdictions. Although very small in size I think many would seek their sovereignty and independence as nations (some are self-governing already) or seek new agreements with the newfound nations. The treaties they have with Canada would no longer exist so then what. Very interesting scenario.

I generally really like your videos, but I wonder how much research went into this video? First, there is definitely some rivalry between provinces, like you mentioned in the end Quebec even has a sizeable independence movement. Alberta also seems to dislike Ontario, Quebec & BC for the power that they have. Second, there weren't mentions as to why Ontario, Manitoba & BC still have their British style flags. Stating that it is a problem is passing judgement to the people living there. What if they want to keep the flag? Is that wrong? Personally I know a lot of people that would like to keep the flag. You also didn't seem to know much about the flags of New Brunswick & PEI. I'm not saying they shouldn't change, but there are reasons for these flags existing today and hose weren't taken into account. Third, adding Newfoundland (not The Newfoundland) & Labrador to Quebec doesn't make any sense. Quebec speaks predominantly French and was a French colony, while Newfoundland & Labrador (as you mentioned) predominantly speak English and were a British colony. Newfoundland & Labrador would be more likely to join New Brunswick, Nova Scotia & PEI if they would join others, since there is a common history. It might look logical on a map, but that's about it. Fourth, Canada as a whole is supportive of the monarchy, while a lot of provinces would likely abolish the monarchy (especially the territories & Quebec), some might keep the Queen as head of state. Canada doesn't have any ties to the UK in regards to their sovereignty anymore, so that wouldn't change. The UK & Canada just share a monarch. Fifth, not all 'other languages' are native languages. This would obviously be more likely in the territories and sparsely populated regions in the north of Alberta, Saskatchewan & Manitoba. Ontario and BC especially have large immigration populations, primarily from Asia. 'Other languages' would here most likely refer to Hindi, Punjabi, Cantonese, Mandarin and many other languages, or they would at least account for a large percentage of the 'other language' speakers. Sixth, I think it is very unlikely that a lot of provinces would keep French as an official language. I only see this happening for Quebec (for obvious reasons), where it is the only official language and they're quite protective of it; and New Brunswick, since it has a large minority of native French speakers and is the only bilingual province in all of Canada. All other provinces and territories have French speakers accounting for less than 10% of the population (as the graph you used points out). These provinces don't have any ties to the French language, history or culture. It's just that federal issues are dealt with in a bilingual fashion. BC as a province for example doesn't use French. And BC is an example where other languages rather than French are much more widely spoken. Finally, what really made me doubt the effort you put into research on Canada and your previous knowledge of the country is that you don't know how to pronounce Saskatchewan or Newfoundland. It did sound funny and could've been a joke, but it seemed like you just didn't know it. It is just one search on YT or Google to figure out how to pronounce something you will be discussing. I'm not here to speak on behalf of all of Canada, or even for someone for that matter, since I'm not Canadian, but I did frown a lot upon the things stated in this video. I'm a big fan, this one to me just missed the mark and seemed a bit sloppy. I'm not here to be hateful, that's not my intention, I just wanted to voice my opinion.

YES! This all bothered me a lot. I understand that it's just for entertainment's sake but it really does not seem like he knows what Canada is like. A lot of these "predictions" just seem to be based off of what HE felt suitable, or currently felt wrong.. Ontarians like their flag very much. Provinces can, and have, changed their flags even while in Canada so any flags they have now are very likely to remain in the case of independence. And that joining of NL to Quebec definitely pissed off a bunch of Newfies, who are very proud of their province. Hell, if he looked into Canadian history a bit, he might've predicted that Newfoundland and Labrador would ask the United Kingdom to become an overseas territory again and it'd still be more realistic than the quebec thing. I bet he only did the Maritime Union because it "felt right" to bunch up those tiny, troublesome provinces into one.. and it was only by chance that it lines up with our shared cultures here in the very distinct Maritimes.

“There is no intense rivalry between them” Well... define intense. Assuming the division was a mutual agreement I don’t see any wars springing up but some provinces would definitely be closer than others; for example diplomatic relations between Alberta and Saskatchewan and Alberta and Quebec would be very different, and the Maritimes would be closer to each other than Newfoundland. I could see more “petty” skirmishes, minor border disputes, arguments over pipelines, that sort of thing (things we actually already have as provinces inside one country). I also don’t see PEI changing their name even if they became a republic, maybe BC but not PEI. Edit #2; Quebecian? The word you’re looking for is Québécois.

General Knowledge: to my knowledge, there is no intense rivalry between any of the 13 regions of Canada Quebec: **laughs in French**

3:30 I see Alberta invading northern British Columbia in order to get access to the sea for the exportation of Albertan oil to foreign markets, not to menition we are not really united economically as many provinces have different customs regulations with regards to chesse, alcohol, etc. 4:25 the main reason why Ontario and Manitoba retain their red ensigns was an reaction to the federal government adopting the maple leaf flag, as it so happens the federal government were centre-left Liberals who wanted to be distant from Britain while Ontario and Manitoba had provincial governments that composed of pro-British Conservatives. 7:07 Newfoundland would never merge with Quebec due to different cultures(i.e. Francophone and Gaelic). An more obvious possible merger would be between Alberta and Saskatchewan(with the proposed name of Buffalo), resource-rich provinces led by similar conservative governments. 12:03 Quebecois

Burin Voyager you have a point. And anyways, if we invade in the winter, we all know the BCers would be too scared to drive, so it would be relatively easy.

Alberta wouldn't need BC, if they united with Saskatchewan like you say then they could invade the much smaller and weaker Manitoba to get the port of Churchill on the Arctic Ocean. Might not even have to invade honestly, I could see MB voluntarily uniting with AB/SK.

3:17 Lloydminster would probably cause a lot of issues for Alberta and Saskatchewan if they were to be independent of each other. The city exists in a weird limbo between the 2 provinces that would only get worse were there to be any issues regarding border policy.

I'd hate to see our amazing country break up into 13 different countries. It scares me just thinking about it.
