Who's with me? Most of the other provinces just live off of what we produce anyway. Alberta should consider coming with us.

We can totally do trade with the Republic of California, they needweed and oil, and those are BC and Alberta's respective strong-points. Where should we build the Capitol?

CA seceeds from th USA!
Who's with me? Most of the other states just live off of what we produce anyway. New York shoudl consider it, too.

In fact, the whole "left coast" should seceed. Also, New England should seceed. Then we can have a free trade agreement and diplomatic ties. As for all those stupid people in the Red States in the middle, we'll just look down when we fly over.

Pretty obvious. Heck, you even refer to the proposed CA/NY nation in your opening post.

It does suck. And blow. At the same time.

LOL
The Republic of Cascadia stretches from 42° to 60° north latitude. Its western border consists of the Pacific coast and a portion of the American state of Alaska. On the east, it borders the American states of Idaho and Montana and the Canadian province of Alberta. Cascadia is divided into three prefectures: British Columbia, Oregon, and Washington.
even they don't want California! :D :D :D

BC is usually getting money from the federal government.

Ontario and Alberta are the only ones who give more than they get back.

Excuse me? But as a resident of Alberta I take offence to that. Alberta is the only 'have' province, and the others are the 'have-nots'. We support the rest of Canada with our oil money.

I propose Alberta splits, and takes B.C. with it. You know, so we has access to the Pacific. Maybe we'll take Saskatchewan too for the crops.

Ontario is not a "have not" province, it also supports the other provinces. Please learn a little bit more about the country outside of Alberta.

I considered asking Saskatchewan to join. Food is good. Besides, if MJ were legaland taxable, BC would be a have province. One of our largest industries goes completely untaxed.

Here in Washington we have a lot of experience in balancing Microsoft's budget (We are, after all, all their zombie slaves), so it can't be that much harder to balance a national government's!

This isn't a Copy Cat thread, this is just the latest in Posi's long (at least 2, which is more than 1) line of "Canadian"-brand threads.
Thus, Californian Secession becomes BCian Secession for obvious reasons, and "Who Loves America" becomes "Who Hates America", because Canadians are an angry, yet incredibly polite, people.

Okay fine, but Alberta does pay more per capita than Ontario in regards to equalization payments.

I specifically avoided that gag, knowing that I could rely on another NSer to provide it for me. You have again proven me correct, and provided further verification for my career of laziness and procrastination.

"have" province you'll need to include Sask in that as well, they do have a lot of oil as well.

While they do have a portion of the oil sands in northern Saskatchewan, it is largely undeveloped because of the extremely rugged terrian and forests. It should be noted that Alberta produces 90% of Canada's oil and natural gas. Saskatchewan isn't quite at the 'have' status yet, but it, along with B.C., is on its way. Saskatchewan currently receives the second least amount from equalization payments.

I never mentioned any American states.

I'll admit, Albertans are pretty Conservative and racist mofos, but they um have oil. Plus my dad lives there.

It may be true that Alberta has a strong conservative base, but it should be noted that Canadian conservatism is a lot more liberal than American conservativism. Canadian conservatism stays true to the traditional conservative ideas of small government, low taxes, and little government spending, while remaining faily liberal in regards to personal freedom and rights.

And we're not all a bunch of rednecks. You're thinking of Calgary.

There's a bible element in there too... it just doesn't play well for much needed Ontario votes. Although you're right, the Canadian Right is significantly left of the American Right.

I dig it. We'll need to build oil, natural gas and hash oil pipelines to CA. We'll also need to build railroads so we can send you guys some ceaser salads and DVDs. We can have big parties in Washington or Oregon. You guys bring the pot and we'll bring the tequilla.

There's an idea... BC can separate, and maybe Alberta could join... while we're at it, Independent BC could use the extra farmland, so they could take Saskatchewan with them... but they're going to need some extra tax money to keep all those farmers happy, so they may as well grab population and industrially rich Ontario for the excellent tax base... which leaves Manitoba in the middle, can't have that, so gotta grab Manitoba... And then it's war on the Frenchies!! After Independent BC grabs Quebec, they should probably take the Maritime provinces, so that Independent BC will reach from sea to sea!! Hey? Why not grab one more sea? Take the arctic before some other stinking independent country gets it?

Hmm... might be easier to split Independent BC into several regions or 'provinces'... and they might need a centrally located city to administer it, but it will all work out.

Long Live Independent BC!!

Cool. We already got some tunnels into Washington, shouldn't be to hard to extend them into Cali.

We should celebrate our independances by leaving a total mess for Oregon to clean up.
