    As a Californian, I would love for us to become Canada’s newest province.

      I wouldn’t, as Canadian, because California would fully dominate such a union. It would be Canada joining California, not the reverse. Economically, politically, you’d be the biggest and most important province. I doubt you’ll be happy being part of Confederation or being technically a monarchy.

        Conveniently, if any states were to join Canada, they would most likely do so as territories (at least initially), and so would be somewhat politically neutered.

        Let? What, is he going to say it’s against the law? Who gives a shit what a felon thinks about rules and who can and can’t do what.

          He’s in charge of the most advsnced military that has ever existed.

          If an economic powerhouse state like tx ca leaves, they’ll be given surrender terms by the fed and systematically destroyed until the terms are met.

            I don’t think you understand how our military works. It’s not a bunch of soulless T-1000’s you can sick on your enemy, it’s a military full of Californians that might not like killing their family members lol
