[Verginius Rufus]

Get some lawyers to work poring over the Oregon treaty of 1846 with Britain...perhaps Washington and Oregon really belong to Canada after all. Or we can tell the Brits that we have changed our minds and will accept the Columbia River as the border (which is what the British wanted).

[Publius]

If a plebiscite were held in Western Washington about remaining in the American Union versus joining the Canadian Federation, the pro-Canadian voters would win by a small margin.
