Lately, there is a fuss and feathers about a particular USA politician saying Canada should become a US fifty-first state. Besides the fact that the politician named, hasn't taken a look at a map of the globe recently, he doesn't appear to know that all of his little states dotting their own map, are hardly anywhere near the scope of our huge, less peopled and more democratic,country, Canada. Frankly, I think our land mass is also slighty more than that of continental US, anyway. None of us take the 51st blurt seriously - especially said by a comedian person. Tariffs are not the same topic of course. I have another vision, no matter how ridiculous it might sound. Certainly, it's not as ridiculous as the "become a state" nonsense. The west coast of North American has some of the most dynamic, vibrant and imaginative pieces of political landscape ever known, and if those of us upon whom the Pacific Ocean laps, namely: BC, the Yukon, Alaska, Washington, Oregon and California, got together and created a new country, now THAT would make a lot of sense. Certainly far more than the silly idea that the US could force us into statehood (yuk). They, southward are just not us in any way. If we Westerners had the gumption to do this, join to make a new country, vertically on the continent, we could corner all the markets. Just think of it: the tourism, film making ops, ocean resources that would blow up in abundance! The hot and the cold coming together vertically on the globe. The new country would have the tallest mountains, most accessible beaches, best boating with filming venues away from the ice and snows farther to the east not to mention the shipping ports possible. Wow. From top to bottom, nothing but great weather, beautiful scenery, outdoor activities and a bunch of people who are not stuck in a rut of a two party system. Wow, what we could do! BC should make Washington, Oregon, California and Alaska provinces and begin a brand new country. Why not fly that one?
