Canadians invite California, Oregon and Washington to join Canada (Humor)

[Stonepounder]

Canadians are inviting people in the United States Pacific coastal states of California, Oregon and Washington, where United States President-elect Donald Trump lost heavily to his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, to secede from the US and join Canada.

“Dear California, Oregon, Washington – I’m sure we can work something out if you want to join Canada,” Chad Harris, a reporter from Kamloops, British Columbia, tweeted.

“California, Oregon, Washington, I, for one, will accept you with open arms into the liberal bosom of Canada,” Alex Middleton of Calgary, Alberta agreed.

“Now is the time for Canada to prepare to add 3 provinces, Washington, Oregon and California,” fellow British Columbian Craig Heber from Tofino shared the sentiment. “Guaranteed means to grow economy would be adding the sixth largest economy in the world to ours.”
Some extended the invitation to Nevada, also won by the Democratic candidate.

I would pack up in a heartbeat and move to one of the new provinces!

16. Minn is full of loyal dems

As a WA state resident you can stay with me!

[ProudLib72]

2. Great!

And what about Colorado? Can NM and CO become part of Mexico?

[TygrBright]

18. We're hoping the Septic Sphincter will repudiate the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.

Making us a de facto part of Mexico again.

wistfully,

4. I already get Victoria TV, so I'm partially culturally adapted.

I just point my antenna straight north, across the narrow strip of water separating the two nations. It would not bother me to be Canadian.

5. What about us?!

Aloha, Stonepounder!

[Stonepounder]

6. Actually, if you go to the link, farther down Canadians were including Hawaii :-)

[Cha]

7. Aha! I shall go to said link now.

8. This Californian is all for it. n/t

9. Michigan! we already got a left hand up

[AJT]

12. I'm in Wisconsin, I'm afraid neither of our states would

be welcome.......and for good reason.

17. you can play.

just leave maggot supporters there.

10. Smart and Beautiful.. I have friends and family in Cal, Oregon, and Washington!

“Hey Canada, I have a proposal for you,” Dave Lewis, of San Francisco, California posted on Facebook. “I say we take Washington, Oregon, California and Hawaii, combine them with Canada and make one amazing country. Lots of new coastline. Who’s in?”

Nice Dream!

[onecaliberal]

11. I'd be all for that

[First Speaker]

13. I'd say New England should join, too...

...but we actually have a pretty good sense of our own identity. We nearly seceded in 1814; we have something not all that far from nationalistic feeling. Let the New England Confederation fly our own flag, good neighbors to our friends to the North...and a destination for desperate, fleeing refugees from the Hell on Earth to our South and West...

22. Yeah, there are pretty big cultural differences between the East and West Coasts.

You all still dress for dinner; Oregonians will wear cargo shorts to a wedding. In 35 degree weather.

And while you have made admirable progress on the weed legalization front, we're still way less uptight about it.

14. I wonder if I could just move to Canada,

rent an apartment, and stay.

[DiverDave]

19. I'd vote for it

Eastern Oregon? not so much

[pat_k]

21. How do we get Canada to invite us for real?

I've contemplated heading over the border. Would be nice to be able to stay in Seattle, and still "get the hell outta dodge."

[Horse with no Name]

23. People would flock to the West Coast

Not unlike the Gold Rush.
In all seriousness.
I would have to go. Even though I have a dream job and an enlightened employer....by the time this Junta is done with its destruction....there will be nothing of worth left.
