The West Coast is well aware. I really can't see anyone in the US not being aware of our country's wannabe fascist status, even though some will plead ignorance. I'm kind of hoping maybe Oregon, Washington and California will get together and ask Canada if we can join them... with a probationary period of course. No one in their right mind can trust us outright at this point.

No thanks, our conservatives are further to the left than your Democrats, and California has the population of the rest of Canada combined. You can make your own country

I agree about the Democrat party, but I wonder if the regular people of those states aren't closer to Canadians in their views. If they were to join I imagine the existing party wouldn't carry over and new ones would need to be organized.
