That looks pretty fair. Taylor Hall though, born in Calgary, but grew up in Ontario, played junior in Windsor. He can decide which team he wants to play for.
World Cup: I'd like to see team Quebec in the next World Cup.

Instead of working very hard to reach the level of Canada, you're trying to find a way to weaken the Canadian team. Loser mentality.

Should Ontario ever meet Quebec in a 7-game series, we would pulverize them completely. Would not be even close.

What kind of garbage is this? Canada isn't a "real place" and doesn't have a "real identity"? Yeah, right.
Most people in Quebec don't care about independence. I don't see the relevance of demagoguery and identity politics with what is supposed to be a hockey forum.

Now, we don't know for sure that Canada's not in a Matrix
Team Quebec would make sense. They would be good, they would get a ton of viewership, and there are teams like Scotland that have their own soccer teams, so why not Quebec having their own hockey team?

Do people of Quebec want to be independent?
Team Quebec would be as valid as TNA or team Europe

Maybe in some parts of Montreal, but the rest of the Province would go wild for Team Quebec.
Those rosters look solid actually, but how do you decide where a guy plays if he was born somewhere and then grew up somewhere else. Or played junior somewhere else etc etc.

Why not both?
The UK is different. Much longer, more distinct histories and cultures. Unless you're from Texas or something it's not really comparable.
You must have avoided the rough bits.
Nope seen some rough parts and come across all sorts of people with all sorts of opinions. There are a lot of northern Irish who are very pro the UK and Union Jack but they still call the country they live in Northern Ireland, not the United Kingdom. Same with the Scottish.
They've also all been independent countries at various points.

Or a canadian leftover team which i think would be on par with sweden us russia, maybe even better including u23s, or a leftover team of both us ans canada if they want to continue the NWO theme. That might be he best idea: US team Canada team and team NWO (leftovers)
At least no team would be handicapped but would have to name teams earlier than usual

This is a hockey tournament, not some useless nationalism. That's why we need it to have at least 7 teams made of superior Canadians.
Don't be modest. It would take a dump on those ****** countries like the toiletbowls they are.
Frankly, I don't know why they even bother with hockey at all.

More teams:
Former Russian Empire allstars. (one line from each of Russia, Kazhakstan, Ukraine and Latvia.) This should be appropriately insulting to every living being, especially putting Ukraine and Russia in same team.
Korea-Japan-China. Nevermind that the nationalists in each country want to blow up the others.
Such market potential in these team. All 500 chinese hockey fans would love to see their players fight the Japanese in their own team.

If Newfoundland wasn't forced to become part of Canada by the Brits in the early half of last century, would they at least be as good as the Latvias of the world? Are there any Newfie NHLers?
Conglomerate teams actually do occur.
West Indies in cricket, a bit like the lesser European hockey countries in this Team Europe setup, they're all too small on their own to be any sort of competitive, so have always competed together.
I play rugby and am familiar with it more there.
-British & Irish Lions (England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland)
-Pacific Islanders (Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Niue, Cook Islands) - since disbanded but only because World Rugby wouldn't let them tour enough to become profitable
-there've been others, such as East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda) and Arabian Gulf, which World Rugby forced to disband about 8 years ago but was a poor misguided decision, the reason they said for it has not changed anything in the region, Arabian Gulf just became the United Arab Emirates and none of the other countries have gone anywhere developmentally
Hockey and rugby to me are "cousin" sports in that how both operate internationally is very similar.
And "Team Europe" in golf. It always amuses me when Brits don't want the International Team from the President's Cup into the Ryder Cup because "that would ruin the sanctity of the tournament", a tournament where they had to heavily increase the size of their player pool in order to stay competitive or the Ryder Cup would've faded into irrelevance.
