Usually, when people talk about Cascadia as a country, they include British Columbia.

God we have trouble enough with Toronto thinking it's the centre of the world and ignoring BC. We'd have zero influence in Cascadia.

Quite a few of the folks I know consider BC just as big / important a part of the PNW as Bellingham, Seattle, Olympia, Portland, Salem, Eugene, etc.

Sure. How much weight does that have when Sacramento decides to run a water pipeline from Capilano to eastern Washington or whatever?

Technically, only a small section of California is part of the Cascadian region. But so is most of Idaho... And I think just about everybody would be happier if we made that trade.

Frank Black dubbed it Calistan in 1994

geographically cascadia excludes socal and includes BC. it's a different climate, ecosystem, etc
