In response to suggestions by a lunatic in the US Oval Office, Green Party Canada’s leader Elizabeth May suggested Canada should invite western states Washington, Oregon and California join B.C and split from Canada to form the ‘Cascadia’ eco-state.

(Note this article is from Jan 8, 2025 and Elizabeth May has since become co-leader of the party alongside Jonathan Pedneault).

    So, this was pushed for a while and was later discovered to be Chinese propaganda. But it holds water is the thing.

    Breaking into smaller counties isn’t the solution because you lose economies of scale and inefficient trade. Which was why China pushed it, to leave themselves and the EU as the largest single economies in the world.

    The real solution is to regionalize block of states and instead of having one head of state as President, a council of state like Switzerland with a rotating chair that functions as the ceremonial head of state.

    But that would take a new constitution…

      But that would take a new constitution… Yeah, its a good that the thing that is only a couple centries old has been updated to match modern times and all.

      Ironic when you consider that the people who would cry foul and act all offended the most if you ever were to suggest thinking about changing the entire constitution, have no issue with blatantly ignoring it entirely when it suits them.

      Almost like the people who follow and believe in it the most are the only ones about to get mega dicked.
