Canadian Politicians Threaten to Take California, Washington, Oregon

MAY: “Hey, Donald, have we got a deal for you! You think we want to be the 51st state? Nah, but maybe California would like to be the 11th province. How about it? California, Oregon, Washington. You’re — you’ve got geography [inaudible]. Not only that, we’ve already got a carbon trading system between California and Quebec. We’ve got some strong alliances on our West Coast from British Columbia. There’s been a lot of academic papers on the idea of Cascadia. So, California Governor Newsom and Washington State Jay Inslee and newly elected governor of Oregon Tina Kotek. How about it? Want to put a referendum to your citizens? Because this is what you deal, have we got a deal for you. This is what you get. Free health care, universal free health care. No more one-year-olds who suddenly fall off the Medicaid list and their parents are in the news because they’re trying to do a GoFundMe so they can get their daughter to a doctor. Universal free healthcare. And guess what? Those gun laws that your Congress is too afraid to pass because of the national gun lobby? We already got our strict gun laws.”
