We live in a sad time when a stunningly ignorant imbecile who believes he can can see children with “mitochondrial challenges” is in charge of public health, and this news post about vaccines can just as accurately be posted in a political sub.
Because of Trump and his worshiping morons 180,000 American’s needlessly died during the worst of COVID, but that’s not enough. Trump and his ilk want more people to die from diseases that were previously nearly gone.
Polio, Whooping Cough, Measles, and even Small Pox are now welcome in Trump’s America.
I think we’ll need a 1500-word essay from each state explaining why we should let them join. And no ChatGPT cheating. I also think Canada might be a little worried about California potentially getting the idea of “who’s joining who” a bit backwards. We’ll need them to at least sit a multiple choice test on that.
I wouldn’t worry too much about California wanting to be in charge. That’s not really our jam. We just want to be part of a constructive collective at this point. We’ve spent several decades in an abusive relationship at this point, with all the red states shitting on us whatever we do.
An essay explaining why each of the three states should going would be fun though. All three would have a lot to offer Canada.
But Canada doesn’t want that offer.
I live in one of those states, and increasingly seems it’s either that or we just all move to BC
I love BC, but they have winter. I don’t miss winter.
I wouldn’t blame Oregonian and Washingtonians for fleeing north, though. As much as I love California, BC is my escape plan if things deteriorate further.
This is one thing that keeps me in the Bay Area - great weather year-round. Summers aren’t too hot, at least in the peninsula (although it did get pretty hot over the past week!), and winters aren’t too cold.
To be fair if California were to join that would nearly double the Canadian population and that’s not even counting the other west coast states.
Assuming equal representation rights those would be some huge changes
Yes, I don’t think it’s a realistic possibility. Canada has no desire to absorb that many Americans. I could see it being in these states’ interest to form their own country though, and that country having good relations with Canada.
