Whatever happens, it should require a supermajority to leave. Say 50.1% of the population vote to leave so it's on, then some people change their minds or some people die while others turn 18, then it's 49.9% who want independence so it's off. I don't know if 55% is enough, or 60%, or 67%. But, it should be enough that whatever decision is made, it's not going to immediately become unpopular.

As the indigenous peoples of the prairies have already pointed out, by treaty, the provinces don't own the lands they're governing. The people can leave.

They don't get to take anything with them.

You think they wrote this to clap back at Ms Smith.
