Re: How Trump’s Hudson Tunnel Snit Threatens the National Economy

Just parroting what a Canadian buddy told me. Considering he took civics class up there he's more of an expert than I am. But what you found doesn't disagree. The Provinces were defined from the top down. The Provincial Government has no say if the Federal government (through whatever means) makes a decision to change things.

Our Federal Government doesn't even have theoretical power to divide a state without their consent; states joined the Union with boundaries already established. The two divisions were bottom-up movements: Massachusetts allowed Maine to secede, and West Virginia was a division proposed by specific county delegates.
