A new incident response report from the Canadian Digital Media Research Network (CDMRN) identifies a coordinated network of 20 inauthentic YouTube channels targeting Albertan audiences with nearly 40 million views, exploiting real grievances to push narratives that normalize secession and even U.S.
California can’t survive intact without the Colorado river, so you need to convince at least NV, AZ, UT, and probably CO to come too. If California left but Nevada was still part of Trumplandia one of the first things they would do is shut off all outflow from the Hoover Dam.
Yeah, thats a great example of where you run into the differences between ‘Cascadia’ as a bioregion, defined primarily by watershed networks, snd ‘Cascadia’ as a maybe possible legal/political entity, based on current existing borders.
IIRC, the bioregion Cascadia basically only extends down to bits of Northern California… but the political reality doesn’t match well with this at all.
Perhaps state delegates could all send couriers to Goodsprings for a conference, to hash out the details, lol.
Cascadia vs Greater California vs … New Zion/Deseret?
Political divisions tend to use rivers as borders because they’re naturally difficult to cross, but mountain ranges/watershed boundaries would make much more sense for self-sufficiency among the divisions without excessive squabbling. Although BC/Alberta did a good job in that regard!
So yes, it’s mostly Northern California that could join the Cascadia party. Hence my qualifier of “intact”. Unfortunately, NorCal is predominantly on the red team politically.
It wouldn’t be as devastating (or possible) to cut off the Pend Oreille or Spokane rivers from adding to the Columbia.
(I picked this one because I am a blatant Seattle Supremacist /s)
So yeah, you’d have to overlay this kind of a map with say, county level political maps for the US, apologies to Canadians, I do not know what the Canadian approximate equivalent of a county is.
But yeah, then look at rivers, origin points, watersheds, dams, other critical infrastructure, etc, to see how this could possibly shake out.
The Greater Idaho idea was originally to essentially carve off as many counties in eastern WA and OR, basically east of the Cascades, and… move them into Idaho:
But uh yeah so basically everywhere between the Cascades, down to Medford, down further to Redding… would potentially be a war zone.
Like, I5 south of Portland would be a critical artery and thus a warzone, probably same with I90.
Personally, if this happens, I’m counting it as yet another thing Deus Ex ended up predicting.
There’s a conversation you can have with an ex NSF soldier, who tells you about how his squad got wiped out at ‘Squalnomie’, by other troops with thermoptic camo.
Squalnomie -> Snoqualmie, as in Snoqualmie Pass, I would assume.
At 32% approval, and blatant election rigging plans, a constitutional convention should occur instead of planning around impeachment for last 2 years of term.

I … guess they gave up on trying to take Spokane.
But uh yeah so basically everywhere between the Cascades, down to Medford, down further to Redding… would potentially be a war zone.

Yeah, water distribution would be weaponized.
