I'd hope the rest of Canada would have honoured it, but you just know one or more of the Anglo provinces would have turned it into a shitshow. I don't think there's any chance anyone else would leave in the aftermath, though. Even now the "separatist" movements in the West are just a thinly disguised vessel for imported MAGA.
My money is on either Alberta, or Ontario for shitshow creation.
Neither of those provinces were anywhere near as being off the rails as they are today. It wouldn't have been an easy time for the nation, Quebec, or any of the provinces, but we'd have got through it.
It wouldn't surprise me that, by now, the Maritimes would at least be trying to hook up with Quebec or the US. I have no basis for that beyond the likelihood that they would be very isolated otherwise.
facepalm for whatever reason I had thought the timeframe was current as opposed to the last referendum.
I also get the feeling that the Maritimes would also boost off to join with Quebec or the US. My basis being(from a very long way off) their governments are hard right leaning, so probably US as opposed to Quebec.
