does it really put it on uncertain course? It isn't like the sun will stop shining just because Brussels can no longer force the UK to accept mass refugees. I see this as one of the first moves in the fight to regain national sovereignty. 4 of 6 laws in the UK are EU laws, while in theory the union is a great idea in practice, it isn't so amicable.

All over the radio Brits going "I voted leave because I was pissed off. The rest of you weren't supposed to vote that way too!"
Sort of like the morning after the last Alberta election, only it can't be fixed just by waiting 4 years...

Ultimately, I think people are making it out to be worse than it is. However, it will require extensive negotiations with countries to engage in trading agreements and such.

As far as I can tell this was primarily an immigration issue (you can thank Merkel for this problem) and a desire for more local, state control rather than being dictated to by Brussels.

Canada will be impacted greatly, as we had CETA on the table. Some in the UK are already talking about free trade negotiations with Canada, which is a great idea in theory, though Canada has a difficult time abiding by free trade obligations and commitments as proven in NAFTA.

One final note, its unfortunate that Cameron took the fall for this. I am neither here nor there on my opinion about him as a leader in general, but in this instance he kept to his election promises and allowed the people to vote on the membership. The result was obviously not what he or his party wanted, but it did illustrate to the world just why England (like America) are desired places for people to live. The will of the people still matters. Government is simply an extension of that will and not the other way around.
