- pbourke 5y ago> If 50% of Canadians died next week, you think what, Canada would cease to exist? It’s possible. Canada’s nearly broken up* in recent memory over regional differences. 50% of a population dying is a massively destabilizing event that could undo even a comparatively wealthy nation. * or at least its second largest province narrowly decided to stay in Confederation.
