04/02/2008: "Third North American Secessionist Convention"

The Middlebury Institute has announced that the Third North American Secessionist Convention will be held in Manchester, New Hampshire, on November 14-16, 2008.

Delegates are expected from a majority of the three-dozen current secessionist organizations in the United States and Canada. As in the two previous conventions - in Burlington, Vermont, in 2006, and Chattanooga, Tennesssee, in 2007 - delegations will give reports on the activities in their areas in the previous year and trade information on strategizing, organizing, and politicking.

One highlight of the meeting will be a presentation of the idea of an independent Atlantic federation of Canadian maritime provinces and northern New England states. The proposal has been around for a number of years, but recently there has been renewed interest, especially in Canada, and this venue will provide a way to introduce it in this country in an impactful way.

[ A good idea: break up these artificial giant nations into local communities. ]
