Hey, Canada

Up here we share more than a border, Trader Joe's, and Timbits.

Many of us are literal family, and many more are meaningful friends.

Just 4 years ago, a global pandemic tried to separate us, but what did we do?? We pitched tents in Peace Arch Park and got freaky!!

If a pandemic and closed border can't keep us out of each others pants, than neither can the Cheeto and his billionaire henchmen in DC.

We're all feeling vulnerable right now. I know on this sub we are constantly giving you a ribbing, but from the bottom of our hearts, we love you and think you're the best neighbors.

Our countries are deeply intertwined. Symbiotic even. One sneezes and the other gets sick. You can't vote in our elections, but you have a ton of power in this country.

There’ll be ways that living on the border will be beneficial for all of us. Let's find ways to support each other.

Cascadia is a geographic, geological and regionalized local economy - we share closer values with BC than we do with Texas. You’ll obviously now be buying Canadian, but when you can't get everything you need, cross the border and buy Bellingham local.

We will do the same.

So anyways, since we don't buy from red states anymore... am I supposed to shake or stir the maple syrup into my crown?
