Hey Californians - secede and come join us in Canada. We have healthcare and numerous trade deals with other countries/markets in place, tarriff free. We also have water, and Trump just dumped your water.

In exchange, we get to come hang out in the warm weather during the cold winter months.

Can you bring Washington and Oregon, too?  I swear I would memorize "O, Canada" overnight.

It'd be nice to have a land passage to Mexico, without needing to go through the US at all. Sure buds, lace up your skates and join the team, eh?

Seriously, if I thought this could happen, I'd be on the west coast tomorrow.
