Remember about 10-15 years ago when Northern California wanted to create a separate state from Southern California? I think they even voted on it.
Anyway, about that same time, I remember listening to a political pundit on tv that predicted the Pacific Northwest would eventually join Canada due in part to protest the way their water is diverted to California.
I've been thinking about moving to Canada because I've always loved winter and I want to get away from the Bible Belt. But I'm wondering whether americans would truly be welcome in Canada. And too I'm concerned about the cost of living.
I hope to escape Iowa in about 3 years. Besides Canada, I'm also thinking about New England, Colorado, or Michigan's Upper Pennisula. I need to be near water - especially a lake. Mountains are nice too. I grew up in the Northwest near the Canadian border so I'm used to cold winters with lots of snow.
