"The federation is the most unified and stable it’s been in a long time."  
You really need to get out of the Laurentian bubble.  The West is getting out the pitchforks.  We have a Prime Minister who has broken his major election promises and continues bring forward policies that are intent on making the country uncompetitive, yet insists the budget will balance itself. Foreign policy is driven by a vanity project pandering the corrupt UN, and further buttressed at home with the cynical, divisive M103 fiasco.  The rule of law surrounding our borders and illicit drugs are viewed a guidelines.  The PM admits that there is a two tier legal system in Canada .  Nice hair though.
