The BC/Washington/Oregon concept is more or less designed as a Pacific Northwest union, though I think some people advocate including part of northern California (which would make things even more complex, I guess).

The Atlantic provinces tend to be small (less than 2.5 million people between), economically not very powerful, and less alienated from the federal government than the western provinces (just look at the geography) or Quebec. Newfoundland is the only one where I could see separatism having much appeal at all, and there only because of the potential for offshort oil resources.
