not going to feed the troll beyond this, but even your equivalency is dumb and duplicitous. The realistic UK comparison would be if 30% of Yorkshire voted to become Pakistani and invited in Pakistani troops to protect their claim while they separated from the UK cuz any vote is democracy duh. Makes total sense to me.
If your 30 percent reference is to the rough proportion of Albertans who wish to be American, then I obviously agree that their desires ought to be trumped by those who wish to remain as Canadians. It is then up to the federal and provincials governments, and would be governments, to decide how much they wish to woo the remaining 30 percent with favourable policy promises in order to win their votes.

That seems about as reasonable a system as we can get. But I am certainly open to considering other ideas if you have any.
