Maybe They Were Already Dead

Paul Wells thinks the Harper government should be given credit for slaying Quebec separatism.  I'd suggest its been deceased since 1995 and Harper has merely presided over the last twitchings of the body.  I would further suggest that Harper's uncritical trumpeting of tar-sands development threatens to awake a far more dangerous beast...a British Columbia independence movement.  The more Harper pushes for projects like Northern Gateway (and perhaps, who knows, Kinder Morgan) the more he risks a sovereigntist flare-up on our Left Coast.  Those people went ape-shit when outsiders attempted to harmonize the federal and provincial sales tax; just think how they'll react when the first crew of tar-miners from Calgary show up in their gold-plated cowboy hats. (hint: it will be bad)

If Quebec separatism is the bogeyman, Western separatism is a bad joke.

Where Quebec's sovereigntist movement has its roots in the cultural fabric of the region, the fact is that western separatism has no roots to speak of.

Western separatism (and I've seen it flare up repeatedly since the constitutional negotiations of the 1970s) is political reaction to something. It has no long term traction.
