      I think a lot of us in Washington and Oregon would be all for this. And we can leave the eastern sides out. Northern California is obviously welcome.

        Northern California is obviously welcome.

        Except for Silicon Valley, right? Or does Canada have better antitrust and worker’s rights regulations and enforcement too?

          Workers rights are of provincial jurisdiction with some industries being under federal jurisdiction (like banks), so it would mostly be up to the new provinces.

          Healthcare coverage is made mandatory by the federal side but is of provincial jurisdiction (so it’s not handled the same everywhere).

          Sorry. NorCal is part of our shared cultural region. We could probably accept New England in, though.
