    The country’s already broken. After this orange orangutan is gone, the country will keep fracturing until it turns into two, three or more new countries in the coming decades.

        Used to be about that until a friend from rural Oregon showed me Jefferson is pretty much the American Reich.

        Having said that, Ernest Callenbach’s Ecotopia is what bailed the coffin in my move West.

          The population disparity is too high. They wouldn’t be joining us, in practice it would be the other way around.

          Ottawa is out of touch enough with BC’s needs, imagine rule from Sacramento.

            While I do think they should join Canada I wouldn’t argue with your point - the balance of power would almost certainly shift immediately in the province’s favour. Like. It wouldn’t really be Canada anymore but hopefully some really worthwhile cultural osmosis would take place.

            We could kick out Alberta too because Alberta fucking sucks

              Probably better to keep California, Washington and Oregon independent and to instead try to setup something like the schengen zone for California, Washington, Oregon, Mexico, Canada, and whatever East Coast regions join up. Mind you I am highly biased as a Californian nationalist and much like the nationalists of the 1800s who wished to bring down the old empires I really don’t want to be ruled by some dickhead on the other side of the continent.
