States setting their own trade agreements is totally unconstitutional, but we haven't been following that for a while now anyway. I'm hoping the whole west coast can form it's own trade coalition.

Y'all wanna come join Canada? It's pretty dope up here. We'd love to have ya. The rest of America can fuck right off though. Actually, we'll accept Vermont and the rest of the North East coast if they want to come.

I've been flying a Cascadia flag for years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_flag

Seriously, my family is talking about emigrating to BC. We're lining up our docs and going to talk to an immigration lawyer soon. Hopefully soon enough before SHTF.

WHAT?! We already have a flag?! Not gonna lie, that flag rocks. I visit Canada's 2nd largest Douglas Fir tree pretty regularly, at least once a year. It's quite the sight. Anyways, welcome to the club, I'll go grab your toque.
