We can still maintain much of our administrative structure where it's needed most. Maintain Ottawa-Gatineau as an administrative capital, no need to move too many jobs around, but the symbolism of having Winnipeg as an official capital with primarily legislative functions is what I'm speaking of. For practical purposes, the Central corridor is where the bulk of our governance responsibilities are so the big organizations will be based there. If our legislative branched is executed or captured during war our bureaucracy (primarily military bureaucracy) is the most important wing anyway. Realistically much of that will be in the Algonquin Highlands of Ontario, the forests and military bases near Quebec City and the Northern Prairies.
