Hey guys! BC is pretty cool, and we have lots of natural resources. Wanna form a team where we say fuck the East Coast and block access to crucial trade routes through the Pacific?! Maybe Alaska can come along?! They are pretty cool for the most part and boy do they have resources galore! Cascadia! Cascadia! Cascadia!
Alaska is mostly red I think
That's just the stranglehold America has with oil extraction. Even conservative alaskans are pretty cool and into the environment and shit. That's their livelihood. It's not perfect, but we could sort it out pretty quick by kicking them to the curb as we incorporate into a new country.
It's a weird kind of red. Alaska has a lot of classic Libertarian thought that has fallen prey to right-wing propaganda so there's certainly some of the MAGA crowd there but divorced from the US Lib/Repub discourse I think they'd settle pretty quickly.
Yeah, but there's like 20 of em. Not that difficult to cryofreeze them until we can restore sanity to the regions bordering Cascadia.
Sorry, but BC is not cool. If it wants to join the cool states club, then it needs to implement proper vaccine mandates. Currently, kids do not need to be vaccinated to attend BC public schools.
We don't need mandates, the large majority of our population is vaccinated and vaccines are offered free through school, but you can opt out, yes. Most aren't crazy nutbars, but we let the crazies have their crazy because we have achieved herd immunity with most thing.
Also, hilarious! You are mostly cool, but you don't do this one thing I'm a stickler about, so no deal. Like you guys don't have problems (eye roll)

I did say most things. We have a conservative north, yes. Most rural parts of any country does. The north is like 10% of the population of BC of I am being generous.
Do you think rural eastern Washington is anything like the coast? Your gonna have a bad time. Oregon has some nefarious areas as well. I seem to remember a crazy guy that took over a government office because he didn't think he should have to pay to have his cattle graze government lands. Let's not even talk about the center right democratic governor of California.
Yeah Newsome is funny talking back to Trump at his level, but dude has serious policy issues. No one is perfect, point being said. Stop nitpicking the ways we are different and look at the ways we are the same.
BC, begin acquisition protocol. I'll deal with the red hats.
Bring the East Coast too. We'll be Canadas sideburns with the West.
As much as I like you East coasters, I don't see the logistics working unless we somehow take all the territories with us? But fuck it, we're having fun, let's own the Arctic gateway too!
