    On the flip side…

    California subsidizes the shit out of the rest of the USA, and relatively speaking gets less in return. Imagine no longer having to finance just about everything of failed religious states like Kentucky and Mississippi.

    Also you wouldn’t have to deal with racist religious extremists. Like any country, we have our crazies but we’re not even close to the level of the US.

    Financially it would be hugely beneficial to California to be part of Canada.

    Also, get free healthcare, which is fucking awesome

    We can equally share the .ca domains, it’s not like there are that many left anyway

      California is roughly equal in population to Canada and greater in size economically, this would make any situation where California is under Canada yet another unequal union. I propose that California, Canada, Mexico, and any other liberated states should make the North American Oil and Steel union. Basically get on the path of forming a North American Union.

        I get what you’re saying, I’m just saying that California under Canada would be off a LOT better than it is currently under the US.

        But sure, go at it alone but make some sort of free trade and travel zone at least, ala Schengen in Europe.
