The Slow Disintegration of Canada – 19FortyFive
The country isn t collapsing under the weight of competing separatist projects. Rather, it s quietly dissolving under the acids of institutional unraveling, political incoherence, and a growing sense that regional interests and identities are more important than any sense of Canadianness. The problem, therefore, is not one of a dramatic crisis. It s more one of incremental balkanization. Provinces aren t formally breaking away from the Canadian confederation. Rather, they re just increasingly doing their own thing irrespective of Ottawa and the national vision that that city represents.
Sounds kinda familiar.
