on the plan that would see the following transfers of power

all provinces:
criminal justice (and shit like marriage)
opt out power
choosing of senators
aboriginal affairs

quebec only:
distinct society
immigration
role in picking supreme court justices
veto power on certain issues


vote results in referendum:

28.37% - 71.63% - Alberta
39.72% - 60.28% - Saskatchewan
44.36% - 55.64% - Manitoba

results in all 4 western provinces breaking off from Canada, and taking the Territories with them.

Two new countries thus born.

On June 24th 1997, Canada officially changed its name to "Canada and Quebec" and Quebec was granted its additional powers.

On July 1st 1997, Western Canada officially become a new country, separate from Canada.
