Lets face it we are the most advanced region of the US , have the lowest unemployment , highest modal transport / freight usage......, best Education , Best healthcare ....the list goes on.....
The idea of Quebec joining a "new republic" with the NE US states, to anyone who knows Quebec, is totally preposterous.

Southern Ontario... maybe. And even so...

Ahhhhh.....Libruls

Every now and then I feel like pulling them aside, patting them on the head, and letting them know that it's OK....we understand.....your silly alternate version of reality doesn't exist in the real world

I think this is a great idea! It would give Texas a chance to invade to save the union and thin the heard....


get us back to a more conservative north east.

I'd like to see the data for federal funding received on the county level. Just because a state is Red or Blue doesn't mean a county is and every state distributes their federal funding differently. So perhaps a Red state like SC got a lot of funding, but I know 3 of their top 4 counties that recieved most of the federal funding vote Democrat.

While I am from New Jersey and do defend some of it's honor when I feel its insulted unfairly, the one thing that is interesting is if the Northeast does secede, there will be no more liberal Massachussetts or Vermont politicans telling how Arizona and Texas should handle illegal immigrants to their states.
