“Every State shall refrain from any action aimed at the partial or total disruption of the national unity and territorial integrity of any other State or country.”

The foreign ministry of Russia declared Canada a failed state and announced its break-up.

“The next decade may prove decisive for Ottawa, which has driven the population of the country into the deepest crisis of values and identity in history. And, perhaps, the last for Canada as we know it.”
