      They don’t want us. I already asked. But CA, OR, and WA can secede and make Cascadia minus the Canadian portion.

        As a resident of the Canadian portion of Cascadia I’d be in favour of a European style union of your former states and Canada. Unfortunately you’re too big and too American (for lack of a better term) heavily armed [found it] to just let you in. Maybe we could handle Hawaii but I’m sure they’d probably rather be their own country than join us which is totally fair.

        Too bad Arizona is in the way, NM wants to join you at least parts of us do.

        I’d take California in a minute, please join us. We could use a little bit of sunshine.

        You can leave behind your shitty governor though, I’ll pass on that.

      I wouldn’t, as Canadian, because California would fully dominate such a union. It would be Canada joining California, not the reverse. Economically, politically, you’d be the biggest and most important province. I doubt you’ll be happy being part of Confederation or being technically a monarchy.

        Conveniently, if any states were to join Canada, they would most likely do so as territories (at least initially), and so would be somewhat politically neutered.

      Hate to say it but imho trump would not let you leave. Is this something you guys are discussing with each other, I am genuinely interested.

        It’s not up to Trump. The Constitution doesn’t let us leave. That doesn’t mean we can’t, it means we will immediately be at war with the US if we do.

          Honestly, Cali is already at war with the US. The current administration is already talking about withholding all kinds of random shit for cali. That sounds like an attack to me.

          The way things are going , do you think the American constitution will mean anything by 2028?

            Inspiration for a sequel. After Trump and friends are spending time at Mussolini’s, we will need to make a whole new government. Having a blueprint for making a better Constitution will be helpful for making the rehabilitation process.

          I will never forgive Lincoln for not telling the south to not let the door hit their asses on the way out.

          Don’t have to care about the US constitution if you’re not part of the US anymore.

        Let? What, is he going to say it’s against the law? Who gives a shit what a felon thinks about rules and who can and can’t do what.

            I don’t think you understand how our military works. It’s not a bunch of soulless T-1000’s you can sick on your enemy, it’s a military full of Californians that might not like killing their family members lol
