Can we coordinate with Oregon and Washington to join Canada?
That aside, California leads the US in many ways, but we have a tendency to go too far and do really dumb things. We're pretty good at self congratulations even when other states stare, slack-jawed at our blunders. It's nice to have perspective.
CASCADIA NOW!!!
i freaking love the idea of Cascadia becoming autonomous and independent. I'd love it if New England did that too.
It's an interesting idea, but it can't possibly happen. The federal government has too much military infrastructure in different parts of the US, especially nuclear material. They'd never let anyone secede with it.
ha, if cascadia and new england both seceeded simultaneously.
LOOK. LOOK AT US. WE ARE THE NUCLEAR POWERS NOW.

We also have the top two ports in the US. And if we took the PNW with us nearly all trade from Asia would pass through this theoretical new country before reaching the US.
Edit; also there’s a lot of division between the urban and rural areas of all west coast states. It’s fun to think about, but I don’t see it happening without a major conflict
And we would have border taxes in those goods.
AND A WALL!!!
That's an argument for leaving PNW behind. Cannon fodder so they let us go peacefully with access to the coast and manifest destiny preserved
The US can manifist my ass. If CA leaves the PNW sure as shit is leaving too. We're far more liberal than CA.
Can't hear you over the sound of me cutting the rope below me mwahahaha
well, there is a grassroots movement I've seen in seattle to get all nuclear armaments out of the area, so I feel if cascadia existed as an independent country there'd be at least a little bit of support to return any armaments back to the us.
Fuck that, I'm not getting Ukraine'd.
Yeah like what would happen to institutions like the Presidio of Monterey, the Naval Postgraduate school, Camp Pendleton, 29 Palms, etc if CA secedes?
Starter military for the new country
So did the Brits. Ghandi still got independence
I'm pretty sure there were no nuclear weapons in India before their independence.
Can we leave out the non coastal Jeffersonians?
Can we get hawaii too for our corrupt politician's vacation homes
Alaska can come too
Fuckin kangaroos
