Canada overall will be fine. Newfoundland is fucked - oil and gas are the only things keeping the lights on. The only saving grace is our economic hardship and declining population is moving us closer to Iceland - soon we'll be mostly confined to the capital city, as they are. We'll still be bigger, of course - urban and rural population, and geography - but we'll have their structure, which is easier to service.
Alberta doesn't have to be fucked, but voting so right-wing, they will fuck themselves. They'll be like a company that delivers milk by the bottle, instead of transitioning to selling cartons in stores, coming up with increasingly elaborate bottles, singing delivery men, etc. Unless they return to Notley-style leadership soon, and sustain it for longer, it's over for them too.
