Floreat Cascadia!
- klodolph 7y agoNot to be pedantic or anything but Cascadia definitely doesn’t include California. Nuh-uh, no way José, no siree.
- domingobingo 7y agoIt’s the economic core of Cascadia. It’s a necessary thing.
- klodolph 7y agoKind of like saying that the US is the “economic core” of Canada.
- domingobingo 7y agoHow do you figure?
- bredren 7y agoSince Cascadia does not exist, compromise to include northern California is possible. The proposed Pacific State Jefferson would likely join a successful independent Cascadia if only to have easier succession to its own state down the line. Regardless, this can be seen as a shot in the arm toward Casacadia because it is a demonstration of cross-state regional cooperation that would be necessary to further an independence movement.
- zw123456 7y agoYa but I feel that California, Oregon and Washington are bound but many unique and common cultural ideals. Tech, ecology, etc. I live in Seattle and there is a lot of fun rivalry but if I didn't live here it would be Bay area, Portland, San Diego, LA, etc. The West Coast has a special culture in my view.
- bredren 7y agoThis was my thought as well. It is a desirable incremental move toward a regional definition of statehood. For those unfamiliar, Cascadia is an independence movement around the NW bioregion of the United States: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascadia_(independence_movement) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascadia_(independence_movemen... Edit to add more info: While many Pacific NW folks are not familiar with Cascadia as an independence movement, fans of the Portland, Oregon soccer (football) team Portland Timbers often carry or fly the Cascadia independence movement's flag during games.
