I would get rid of the provinces altogether if it somehow meant things would get better for people.
If anything I would leave the provinces as they are, but transfer more power and control to them, constitutionally, from the federal gov. People need more representation and sovereignty, not less. And more local representation to respond to their own unique needs and desires. The more power your vote has, the better. 1 vote among 5 million is a lot better than 1 vote among 36 million. People crave self-determination, it's what gives politics its legitimacy, and is the basis for democracy. It makes people less frustrated, it's worked in Quebec.
