Canadians are inviting people in the United States Pacific coastal states of California, Oregon and Washington, where United States President-elect Donald Trump lost heavily to his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, to secede from the US and join Canada.
Dear California, Oregon, Washington Im sure we can work something out if you want to join Canada, Chad Harris, a reporter from Kamloops, British Columbia, tweeted.
California, Oregon, Washington, I, for one, will accept you with open arms into the liberal bosom of Canada, Alex Middleton of Calgary, Alberta agreed.
Now is the time for Canada to prepare to add 3 provinces, Washington, Oregon and California, fellow British Columbian Craig Heber from Tofino shared the sentiment. Guaranteed means to grow economy would be adding the sixth largest economy in the world to ours.
Some extended the invitation to Nevada, also won by the Democratic candidate.

I would pack up in a heartbeat and move to one of the new provinces!

(297,799 posts)Hey Canada, I have a proposal for you, Dave Lewis, of San Francisco, California posted on Facebook. I say we take Washington, Oregon, California and Hawaii, combine them with Canada and make one amazing country. Lots of new coastline. Whos in?
Nice Dream!

(4,858 posts)...but we actually have a pretty good sense of our own identity. We nearly seceded in 1814; we have something not all that far from nationalistic feeling. Let the New England Confederation fly our own flag, good neighbors to our friends to the North...and a destination for desperate, fleeing refugees from the Hell on Earth to our South and West...

And while you have made admirable progress on the weed legalization front, we're still way less uptight about it.

In all seriousness.
I would have to go. Even though I have a dream job and an enlightened employer....by the time this Junta is done with its destruction....there will be nothing of worth left.
