What if - Canada having a Civil War?

As far as I can tell Canada is one of the few countries to never have a Civil war.

Can anyone think of any changes that could cause one?

Ex. Indian independence movement? Quebec seperatism? Independence from GB not happenning?
 
The Lower Canada Rebellion, the Upper Canada Rebellion, the Red River Rebellion and Quebec's Quiet Revolution come to mind, but they don't constitute the sort of "civil war" under consideration here. Had Canada gone through such a national trauma, I wonder if the end result would have been the division of Canada into 3 separate nations: Quebec, a Maritime Union plus one composed of everything else between Ontario and British Columbia and including the NW+Yukon Territories, rather then a reconciliation as (over time) happened in the US.

I did a quick google search for Canada civil war and found this interesting article on Why Was There No Canadian “Civil War”?: http://www.mises.ca/posts/articles/why-was-there-no-canadian-civil-war/ After reading it, it seems that the 1870s would have been a good time period for one to have occurred.
 
Only way what I can imaginate is that Quebecers begin rebel. But I don't see even that very plausible.
 
Canadian teams meet in the Stanley Cup finals?

You had to inject hockey into this thread, didn't you. ;):D



I wonder if a depression era POD, one in which the prairie provinces, finding themselves at the mercy of an inept and unresponsive government in Ottawa and looking to the south at the success of FDR's New Deal, might launch a movement to secede from the dominion (with the unspoken but obvious hope of joining the US.)

You forgot the North-West Rebellion too.
