The comments were responding to President-elect Donald Trump's ongoing suggestions that Canada should become the 51st U.S. state.

      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?

          The Bay Area can be excised to form the new US charter city-state of Galt’s Gulch.

            Galt’s Gulch

            Sounds like a sexually transmitted disease that you can also get from reading too much Ayn Rand 😂

        Trade NorCal for New England and it’s a deal.

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