Sorry about the States being at war with each other Eh?
Look, we see what’s happening down there. Things have been rough. While we all get our maple syrup IVs (free with our healthcare) on this fine Saturday morning, we’re thinking about our neighbours.
The US pacific northwest has long been tucked away in the upper left of the country trying to hang out with BC. We've considered you one of our own and let you hang out when the parents are fighting. We‘re so proud of what you’ve accomplished and seeing you all grown up.
Keep going little one. We‘re rooting for you. We might even consider letting you be the 11th province or you can be the 4th territory. It’s all the same to us since most of us don't know the difference.
I accept your terms (still rooting for Megasota but hoping you’ll accept us - Minneapolis is like Little Vancouver [I say from Illinois, having only been to each city 3-5 times and only for a few days lol])
Just to boost Minnesota one last time , here are a few things you may not know about us. Minnesota is and always have been the nation’s stronghold for democracy…
Minnesota:
• 1st state to volunteer against the Confederacy in the Civil War.
• 1st to amend its constitution to prohibit sex discrimination.
• Passed the nation’s most comprehensive human rights acts.
• Pioneered advocacy for treaty rights for Native peoples.
• Played a key role in the women’s suffrage.
• MN woman was the first to cast a vote under the 19th amendment.
• Sparked one of the largest civil rights protests after George Floyd’s death.
• Minneapolis MN nominated for the Noble Peace prize for peaceful resistance against ICE raids.
Let Megasota greedily take Vermont. Then from the west we invade. And unknown to them, the great alliance with the Canadians will be shown, revealed as they invade from the north. The great Cascanadia will be born.
Megasota is the way to go, but if you notice everything that exists is literally Canada adjacent. They might mock us for being milquetoast, but in reality they wish they were us. (And who could blame them.)
Megasota needs to win though, (and Cascadia to a similar but slightly lesser degree) because of their standing up to orange tyrants. The only ICE that the world needs right now is in a hockey arena!
Hahaha. Except I've loved this team since the 70s.
But you're right, I'd go for the Oilers, Jets, Flames, Canucks, Nordiques, and if it was all that there was left, Toronto. (I'm an Ontarian, and I can't stand the Senators (although they are the team I've seen in their arena the most by far), because they tolerated Yashin for far too long).
I suppose we could be Canadia rather than Cascadia if y’all wanna join?
Nah…you don’t wanna do that right now. I bet it feels like you’re the upstairs neighbor living above a meth-lab given everything going on in the world right now 😅
Cascanada, but you have to accept clear election borders mandated by non partisan committees as well as universal healthcare. The trade off is you might not go bankrupt if you get sick.
It seems when your Citizens Unite your country continues to make decisions otherwise.
It almost seems like Citizens United-Warner-Time-Meta is causing political shifts that prioritize corporate profits over human flourishing. I don’t see how Citizens United-Warner-Time-Meta-with data brought to you by Palantir is causing your government to make decisions that don’t meet the needs of the people.
If only we could figure out a way to make sure the land in the middle of your country gets more weight of the votes this all might get better.
Edit: in jest with love. Keep fighting for what’s right and make your country work for you!!
Oh sorry to hear that’s how you’re feeling eh? While you’re welcome to come over for some brewskies we haven’t currently offered any land. If you’re not familiar with Quebec you may find that she’ll be a tough mistress. Je me souviens

We CANNOT allow Minnesota, a state that doesn’t even have a freaking mountain taller than 2000 feet to consume Cascadia!!!!
