Don't think that the same thing isn't coming to Canada and to the rest of Europe.Awkward sentence structure aside, I can't imagine Canada banning the provincial PQ or federal BQ, which are separatist. I also can't think of any other serious political party that calls for separatism. The funny thing is that national citizenship in Europe has become an anachronism. In the EU, any Flanders resident can move to Holland as easily as someone from New York can move to Connecticut. So what's the big hubbub?

Example of overstating one's case
Adam Yoshida again. This time, he laments that Belgium has banned a separatist Flemish (Dutch) party. Apparently, the best this party could accomplish was 24% of the minority Flemish vote in Northern Belgium. The party platform calls for the abolition of Belgium.
