1. Wow!

They just tied California.

2. I know. We have a lot in common with California. Sometimes some of our provinces

join California in enacting liberal laws. That is when the provincial premiers are small "l" liberals.I think a million Canadians live in California. I just ran into one the other night.

4. Vancouver is a gorgeous city. I always wanted to visit California but

am no longer comfy in a car and can't walk far so my traveling days are over. I would have gone to visit the red woods and other giant trees.

5. California and Canada. Same code: CA and dot.ca. And beyond that more similar than many realize. nt

[Wonder Why]

6. In a few more years, they'll have enough people to become a state but CA is taken

so they will have to become CN.

7. Oh we don't need to get closer. Neighbours is good enough. We would

lose power if we became a state. Even if you made each of our provinces a state that would still be less power for us. We split our half of North America 13 ways. We are good with that.

[Wonder Why]

8. Just two states - Canada (CN) and Quebec (Qu)

9. We like our liberal policies. We're good.
