      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.

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

        Can you talk Texas into splitting up into multiple states to offset the loss of WA OR & CA?

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

        New England needs to consider leaving the US too. It’s like we are in an abusive relationship now.

        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.

        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.

      As a Californian I would love that just so I never had to be counted in the same group as the south.

      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.

          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.

          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.

            Trump has already drained some reservoirs without consulting experts, plus ICE is on the prowl. California is going to feel serious pain come harvest season.

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

            He died before he could see Reconstruction through, and his successor killed it.

            Mind, Lincoln should have mass executed all significant leaders in the south. Offering mercy to those of a Nazi bearing always ends up damaging society. Better to put them down, rather than letting the infection fester.

          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.

          He’s in charge of the most advsnced military that has ever existed.

          If an economic powerhouse state like tx ca leaves, they’ll be given surrender terms by the fed and systematically destroyed until the terms are met.

            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
