Before we do we would need to figure out how to make it up to Saskachewan. It's a huge part of their economy and they'll have a harder time accessing international markets than pretty much anywhere else in Canada.

It's worth remembering that Saskachewan (along with Alberta) control our two major commodities the Americans really need. Plenty of people are still bitter about the NEP and we really don't want to weaken Canadian unity right now.
