I like your idea of how things might turn out if history played out
differently. In fact, I recall people proposed the establishment of
Cascadia, an independent country that combine British Columbia (Canada),
Washington State, and Oregon State together.

Currently, a lot
of the local population in BC supports the NDP instead of Trudeau's
Liberal Party, which ignores the demands from the Pacific provinces,
focusing solely on the Ontario seating to secure a minority government.
So it's not so surprising that researches are showing increasing number
of people in favor of Cascadia nowadays.

Thanks for your comment and information. I was not aware of the Cascadia movement , either the history or the current interest. I alway thought it was a shame that North America was not divided up along lines of similar interests, terrain, culture. It would be a more interesting place. With all of the divisions today maybe it will happen eventually.

@Lou Cooke, I can't say for the States, but for Canadians, it has long been known that Quebec wanted independance so badly they called for a referendum in the 90s. You still hear them threaten the federal government to break away from Canada when they want more perks and benefits. As for British Columbians, most people complain about the Trudeau government but when it comes to really create Cascadia everyone simply like the idea but no action to really make it happen. Typical British Columbians, lol
