Will the European Union fall apart because of Brexit? Can the UK survive without the EU? What will the impact on Canada be?

The United Kingdom (UK) is preparing to leave the European Union after the Brexit vote on June 23, 2016. What are the key factors that contributed to the turn of events in Western Europe?
