I understand both sides of this argument, but I find it ironic that the same place that told the "Eastern bastards to freeze in the dark" has now become the very thing they once rallied against. Where was the love for all of Canada back then, when it was them giving something up instead? Ultimately, what it always comes down to is the greater good, but the one doing the sacrificing is always bound to feel marginalized. Empires only ever crumble from within for this very reason. I'm on a whole different wavelength though, when it comes to Canada as a nation, which I won't get into here.
