Ugh. Well, at least Mr.Bray gets it a little bit better than the others…

I would however also add all of southern Ontario to the American Republic (as Aaron would say: “For, say, a big bag of good hockey pucks”), and Yo they can keep Southern California, really. I’ve been to SoCa… there is nothing canadian about SoCa. There are many canadians down there, but they are there mostly precisely because it is not Canada… Frighteningly weird place.

Southern Ontario where? London, Kitchener and Guelph are the center of hoser-land. Agree about SoCal though. Maybe we need a Berlin-style donut-hole in LA or something.

Really though I would break off the whole California-to-BC strip and add Alberta-Idaho-Montana to that. Lots of cultural tension, but it would be a seriously rich country.

Funny, but if you took separated Calgary from the rest of Alberta, Calgary’s reason for existing would disappear. Most of the oil is up north…

Plus, I don’t wanna live in Jesusland!
