Used to live in Victoria, BC, and that Cascadian flag is pretty common. I'd argue Cascadia extends further north, up to at least Haida Gwaii, as the coastal Indigenous cultural element runs pretty deep through the region. I definitely agree that Ottawa feels very far away, and it doesn't even feel like an antagonistic relationship, like Alberta and Ottawa, but more just being off on your own side of the mountains, doing your own thing.

Shout out to my boys that fought in Cascadia against the Federation. Didn't trust the mercenary pilots at first but damn could they fight.

Regional differences in both Canada and the U.S. are prevalent due to the size of each nation. For me (A Canadian who lives in Southern Ontario), the regional and cultural differences makes us stronger as a nation. There isn't a unified culture in the sense that what is good for one region, may not be good for another. But if all regions are willing to listen to different positions and work together to make policies work for all, then we are all better for it.

As someone moving here for college this was really interesting culturally for when I get out there

I discovered the Cascadia movement when I lived in the Seattle area. Now I live in Idaho, and I still fly the Doug Flag. The Sightline Institute's map is probably the most accurate representation of Cascadia, because it takes into account the natural borders of the region and therefore doesn't limit it to just the coastal PNW or a certain political point of view. What unites us is the land, in all its diverse terrain. I still live surrounded by evergreen-covered hills and a stone's throw from a river. It feels like what I left. The politics are obviously different here, but I would hope that people who support this movement would be able to put their ecological concerns before their political differences.

“Seattle’s relative ease of access on the i-5” Aha… haha… ahahaaaaa

I’d disagree with ya that roseburg down would be considered not the Pacific Northwest, cause that region still has places like brookings which I would definitely consider Pacific Northwest, even grants pass and Medford have a Mediterranean climate. I’d argue for probably down to crescent city, then it would include rogue river, siskiyou and the redwoods.

More than just adapting systems of measurement, it would be even more complex to decide on a form of government. The US states use a congressional style of government, whereas BC has a Westminster style Parliament. Perhaps both could continue to use their respective systems for their own individual provincial / state governments (I'm assuming it would be a Federation and not a unitary state), and it would have to be decided whether or not BC would continue with the monarchy or remain int he Commonwealth (and if it didn't, would it change its name?)

I thing he could make a video just about anything and i would watch it.

I have seen information about the Caacadian movement before. I understand their reasoning. And to be honest, some of it makes sense. Out of all the Canadian separatist movements, Cascadian independence is the most calm. In reality, separation and independence is not likely to happen. The Canadian Constitution doesn't mention separation (I learned about that through two Quebec referendums that happened in my lifetime). But succession from the U.S. is almost impossible... at least without a civil war. The best time for Cascadia would have been in the late 1800's before both Canadian and U.S. federal governments fully integrated the Province and States. Great video! It was well researched and presented. I enjoyed looking at all the flags people designed.

You could.make a complementary video about the eastern sides of these states, since you acknowledged they are so different, and since this video was focused on the west side

*Yukon, are you here?* There is a mistake in the video: you compared GDPs in nominal values, what is meaningless for comparisons since you can buy much more goods and services in Indonesia for the same nominal USD equivalent than in the USA. Hence, purchase power parity (PPP) GDP was conceived by economists, and is calculated by different financial institutions regularly. Thus, Indonesia's actual GDP is much, much bigger than the nominal one you cited.

I think that Cascadia should go up to almost Anchorage, and it should avoid the Great Basin. I agree that it shouldn't include most of Eastern Oregon, as it's more similar to Idaho. But it should include Western Montana, BC, parts of Alberta, northern Idaho, northern California south to SF, and including Tahoe and Reno as its easternmost expanse.

Cascadia is a BC liquor store brand

Couldn’t they form a alliance but yet still stay loyal to their respective home nations? Or is that still too much?

I read "what is Canada"

I love my Vancouver city!

Khanubis made the same video a few days after you. Weird

If Cascadia were to become a real thing (which I highly doubt, but hypothetically), the best way for them to do it would be Washington & Oregon state, British Columbia, & the state of Alaska. Possibly Idaho too, or at least the western part. & also, maybe the yukon territory in Canada, since it’s sort of in between Alaska & British Columbia. This would give it the entire northern west coast of the entire continent.

4:05 No, the big cities always vote Liberal, nothing will change that. BC is known as the NDP province because of the large group of rural working class people who live here who are split up between the demsoc NDP and conservatives. Though, our vote doesn’t matter in the end because Toronto and Montreal’s votes are all that is needed to win. This results in what is called “Western Alienation”, which has been through waxing and waning periods over the last century. It arguably peaked with Pierre Trudeau’s prime ministry. Also, we all own guns. At least, anybody who supports Cascadia is probably a gun owner. BC has the second highest percentage of gun ownership in Canada, closely following Alberta. I’m not sure about Washington and Oregan but I know Idaho, who I consider to be a part of Cascadia due to it being in the PNW (moreso than Oregan) and also carrying our shared history as a part of the Columbia District, has a very strong gun culture to the extent of events like Ruby Ridge. Even the lefties typically have and love guns in BC.
