Sorry. BC at least is FAR too liberal to ever consider admitting it as a state.

They are run by the Extremely Silly party.

The following is a true story:

On my first visit to B.C., about 15 years ago, I drove to Vancouver and parked in a parking lot. As I was getting out of my car, I was approached by a somewhat strange looking man, who asked in a strong Canadian accent: "Do you have any change for a loony?" I told the crazy panhandler that I would not give him any change.

It was only the next morning, as I read the paper, that I realized what Canadians call their one dollar coin!

I got a good laugh from that :)

Yes, BC is indeed very liberal. Most of them inhabit Vancouver Island and downtown Vancouver. The problem is I live Vancouver Island. So I rather they leave. If we did split from the East maybe they would because they would not be able to endure a free society.

That's too funny!

Do you know we have a two dollar coin now?

It's called the Toonie, so you see it's all true....We are loonie-toons up here!
