RE: The end of Canada
I went ahead and read all the parts of this series and while I find some of his conclusions to be a bit of a stretch, such as the Po Valley going Fascist, for the most part I can see where he drew the conclusions from.
Specifically for Canada and its potential disillusionment, there were some intriguing points made. Geography, climate, and geology have in essence created 3 "Canadas" that more closely align with the people directly across from them in the United States than with each other. Throw in the massive cultural divide that is Quebec and you have 4 or 5 different Canadian cultures and economies that are linked more to the particular region of the United States they touch than with each other.
Add to that that Ottawa simply doesn't have the political force to keep them together if they start to make a break for independence and things could get interesting in Ontario in the next few decades. The fact that it is Ontario, the heartland of Canada, that neither has the geographical or geological position to transition as well to dissolution, and things could get very interesting in the Great White North.
