Should Canada become a UK Like Structure


Recommended Posts

Left Wingers from Quebec want a seperate nation

Right Wing Christians want Alberta as a seperate nation

suppose they both split and form 2 nations, wouldnt it be suffice to say that you still wouldnt need a passport to enter and could enter like a common citizen of another nation like in the UK there is britian, scotland, wales, ireland etc,

Would it work? Is it good or bad

On a somewhat related now, Toronto is getting more powers.

New powers, taxes for T.O.

But city and province remain divided on proposed changes

'Groundbreaking' legislation to be introduced by this fall

KERRY GILLESPIE

QUEEN'S PARK BUREAU

The province has agreed in principle to give Toronto widespread powers to better govern itself, including the ability to raise new taxes.

"It is groundbreaking. People will look back on this report as a historic turning point for the future of Toronto," Mayor David Miller said yesterday, after the long-delayed interim report on the City of Toronto Act was finally released.

"The residents of Toronto are going to be able to chart their own future and we've never had that ability before because the province made the decisions."

Premier Dalton McGuinty promised the City of Toronto Act legislation will be introduced before the end of the year.

The 10-page report outlines a radical shift from the way municipal government has been done in Canada for 138 years.

It means scrapping most of the 350 acts and pieces of provincial legislation that govern Toronto and replacing it all with one act containing "broad permissive governmental powers."

Getting the powers outlined in a report written jointly by city and provincial bureaucrats is a big victory for Toronto.

It is exactly what the city wanted, but not where the province was headed when the process began last September after McGuinty announced a review of the existing act, which created the amalgamated city in 1998.

If any province leaves Canada than it's the end. I'd want Toronto to separate too. Really, we are a country of regional interests. We either all work together or we all go our separate ways

The UK has (at least) double the population of Canada (without doing a fact check).

Okay, take away the (at least) part of what I said.

If memory serves, about 10 years ago it was 25million to 60million. I gather that the UK population hasn't changed significantly in a decade.
