The states' Democratic governors offered few specifics Wednesday as to how they hope the Western Health Alliance could influence which vaccines will be available in their states.
Maybe these states should leave the USA and become part of Canada.
California alone has almost twice the GDP of the entire country of Canada, and nearly as many people. They wouldn’t just become part of it, they’d make up most of it.
Besides, even as left-leaning states I would be concerned about that many Americans joining my country. Canada would lose its identity.
Not of we join them and become a separate nation. We can form our own west coast identity. We are already different from most of Canada and have very little representation in our own politics. The East Coast gets all the love and all the funding, the west is left to fend for itself mostly, and we do alright.
The 4 least populous states on the east coast are Maine, Rhode Island, Delaware, and New Hampshire. They get 8 senators with a fraction of the population.
These states have about 5 million people. California alone has nearly 40 million people
It would not creat more seats though, maybe a couple. The East is over represented and the west is under represented. Period. We keep getting shafted by terrible policy that doesn’t have a place in our environments. If we weren’t doing things ourselves, shit wouldn’t get done.

Fair enough - maybe it could become its own country then.

West coast gets 6 senators.

That’s because California is so fucking massive. We could break it into 4+ states and it would probably benefit the Dems in Congress
