      Considering them petitioning to leave Oregon, I feel like eastern Oregon would be very upset about this

      Needs Colorado on there somewhere too. That place is a blue oasis surrounded by a sea of red bullshit states on all sides.

          You say “they” as if states don’t have different districts. Boebert came from a right-leaning district, but was so toxic she couldn’t get re-elected there. So she had to move to an even more right district in order to win.

            Add to that she’s actually a transplant from Florida, and it starts to make sense.

              Yeah. Her saying “don’t you know who I am!?” and flipping off the workers after getting kicked out for refusing to stop vaping indoors and near pregnant women and performing public sexual acts at a musical where kids were in attendance… That’s pure Florida.

      Hey take some cities as enclaves too. Blue cities in red states don’t deserve that kind of punishment.

      I think the red area should get alberta, maybe saskatchewan too. And I would personally like to see the Alaska pan handle transferred to B.C.

      Realistically this wouldn’t be possible, at least in the way most people assume. It’s hard for people to just uproot their whole lives and move to another state (though it’s easier these days), a partition like this would mean leaving behind a lot of liberal minded people, who are too poor or too rooted in a place.

            Neither, but I suspect you know your argument is in bad faith.

            It’s better to protect some people than none, and if that means balkanizing the US then that sucks for the blue islands in the Bible Belt but we are in crisis and that means triage.

                It’d be a lot nicer if Alabama wasn’t dragging it down.

      I’m sure the sane people in those new Canadian provinces would want universal healthcare, but would they be willing to give up their guns? I think most of Canada is appalled at the gun violence in the US and would make giving up guns an unconditional requirement of joining Canada.

        Deaths by firearm, per 100,000 people, are about 1/7 the number in Canada as it is in America.

        America has over 200 school shootings a year. 2024 saw a near record with 330 school shootings.

        Canada? 6 in its entire history. To get to the grand total of 9, you would have to include post-secondary institutions.

        If you truly want to “think about the children”, firearm control comes wwwaaaaaaayyyyy before banning books and taking away lunches.
