The Canadian Proposition

To Whom It May Concern,

We, the undersigned residents of California, Oregon, and Washington, respectfully submit this petition to propose the temporary incorporation of our states as territories of Canada for a period of five years. This initiative is intended to establish a supportive framework that facilitates our pursuit of independence while ensuring stability and growth for our communities.

Background

As residents of California, Oregon, and Washington, we acknowledge that the federal government of the United States can no longer be recognized as a guarantor of prosperity and freedom. Many of us seek a governance structure that better aligns with our values and priorities. By temporarily joining Canada, we aim to secure the necessary support and resources to explore our path toward self-determination, including access to Canadian health care, which has proven to be effective and equitable.

Objectives

1. Alignment with Effective Governance: By integrating with Canada, we will have the opportunity to adopt policies that prioritize social welfare, environmental protection, and community empowerment.
2. Pathway to Independence: The five-year period will allow us to develop the political, legal, and economic frameworks necessary for achieving self-governance and independence.
3. Free Trade with Canada: We seek to establish free trade agreements with Canada, ensuring enhanced economic collaboration and access to broader markets for our goods and services.
4. Access to Canadian Health Care: By joining Canada, residents of California, Oregon, and Washington will gain access to Canadian health care, which emphasizes universal coverage and community well-being.
5. Cultural and Economic Cooperation: Foster partnerships through cultural exchanges that enhance the quality of life for residents in our states.

Proposed Framework

1. Territorial Status: California, Oregon, and Washington will function as territories within Canada for five years, adhering to Canadian laws while maintaining certain local governance structures.
2. Incorporation by Majority Vote: This petition requests that the incorporation of our states as territories be approved by a simple majority vote in the Canadian Parliament, allowing for a swift and democratic process.
3. Transitional Governance Council: A council made up of representatives from each state and Canadian officials will oversee the incorporation process, ensuring that local voices are heard and represented.
4. Independence Strategy: During the five-year period, a comprehensive plan for independence will be developed, including referendums designed to gauge public support for self-governance at the conclusion of the five years.
5. Active Community Engagement: Regular meetings and public forums will be held to keep residents informed and engaged throughout the transition.

Conclusion

This proposal represents a significant opportunity for the residents of California, Oregon, and Washington to pursue a future that aligns with their values and aspirations. By temporarily incorporating into Canada, we can access resources, support, and economic opportunities necessary to work toward independence while ensuring the well-being of our communities through Canadian health care.
