How to balkanize the second-largest country in the world.

1.) Privatize Canada's national railway, federal highways and bridges."Parks Canada to look at divesting highways, bridges, dams" by Dean Beeby, CBC News, August 26, 2017.

2.) Permit the de-nationalization of Crown corporations including the CBC, Canada Post; CMHC, and federal parks.

The National Parks in the province of British Columbia are Yoho; Pacific Rim; Gulf Islands; Mount Revelstoke; Kootenay; Glacier, Gwaii Haanas and Stanley Park, perpetually leased to the Vancouver Park Board.

3.) Sell important landmarks: Proposed Sale of CN Tower:

 House of Commons Ottawa December 7,1987: MP Neil Young (Beaches, Toronto.) New Democratic Party: "Can you imagine, Mr. Speaker, the Government of Egypt selling off the Pyramids, the Chinese people placing the Great Wall on the auction block, or the Eiffel Tower turned over to the private sector? Only in Canada we say "Sell the CN Tower."

"And what is the CN Tower to be called: Alpo Dog Food Heights, Loblaws Skyscraper, Pizza Pizza Peak or perhaps Ronald Reagan Lookout? The Tower was built with $57 million of Canadian money. It does serve fifteen media centres. It does accomodate two million visitors a year, and it does bring a sense of pride to Canadians."

"All of this and the Tower turned a tidy $5 million profit last year. If the Government insists on bequeathing the CN Tower to the private sector, it should at least attempt to secure a guarantee the purchaser will find a small place for an epitaph displayed for all Canadians to see."

4.)  Dismantle most of the Expo pavilions. Mayor of Montreal Jean Drapeau wanted to see all of the pavilions preserved as a national historic site. Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell sang "Aint No Mountain High Enough" in front of the province of Ontario showcase:
