Link to Guthrie’s album here for the uninitiated. I’ll be listening to this on my walk today. It’s great to see the South get some love, even if it is from a Bosten :p

If The Beach Boys are America’s band and The Tragically Hip are Canada’s band. Which artist is Cascadia’s band?

As someone very interested in local events and happenings, I try and seek local and independent journalism (versus many of these companies owned by holding companies and such) if I can.

I currently reside in Whatcom County in Washington State and have found the following to be local and also vetted well:

•Cascadia Daily News •Salish Current

What are some other locally based news sources you can suggest?

Thank you!

This is where I got it https://www.ebay.ca/itm/404514167803

For the people over in British Columbia or any other supporters of cascadia what do you think about Aaron Gunn. How do you see his covering of problems Canada is facing but more importantly B.C. and its drug problems?

Hey comrades, Idahoan here. I wanted to ask the question on what your guy's plan on the economic model of Cascadia if we managed to get independence.

Personally my take on this issue is that we should have a mainly Marxist style of economy regarding medium or larger sized businesses that would entail worker control of the means of production with laws and tax policies that result in the inability for monopolies to develop such as a 95-100% tax rate for the highest capital gains tax brackets. Also a nationalization of key industries for tax purposes should be implemented such as oil, healthcare, steel, power, technology manufacturing, and natural resource extraction. This could suplant a need for personal income tax on the proletariat and give the common higher economic power and opportunity.

The revenue from the taxes on corporate and recources revenue could be used to pay for High quality education for all children that encourages creativity, intellectualism, critical thinking, and innovation and Higher education for adults, making it very affordable to receive a College education and allowing for automation of manufacturing to a high degree and freeing brainpower for technological, and creative developments. Also it would pay for Universal healthcare, universal access to water, food, and housing, and other basic necessities, and any infrastructure developments such as roads, public transport such as high speed rail systems, and various transit systems to reduce or eliminate our reliance on cars and lower our carbon footprint. Making our towns and Cities walkable, safe, clean, and pleasant to be in. And investments in green technology to curtail and protect us from climate change such as Nuclear (specifically through fusion reactors using Hydrogen) which we could aquire through desalination plants on the coast that could double as a source of drinking water and feed our many rivers and lakes through the use of aqueducts. And other things like the military, a space program, and anything needed to keep our society running efficiently and prosperously

On the small scale, I believe we should still allow the private ownership of personal property such as small businesses, your house or farm, and your personal possessions. And small businesses should be encouraged and protected from larger competitors and heavy taxation so there is more innovation and variety in light industry and consumer goods. But if a business reaches a certain size it would have the same policy of worker control implemented as stated above with compensation given to the person(s) who created it and if it hires employees in this stage, they should be treated as equal partners in the business arrangement and be entitled to a reasonable share of the value produced.

I wonder what other people on this subreddit think on this issue and what you guys think of my opinion, and I'm exited to see your responses. If anyone disagrees with me or want to insert any critique on my take, I'm more than happy to accept it because we can all learn from each other's experiences and ideas, and criticism is nessicary for the improvement and betterment of society.

We have only seen flags why not coats of arms/seals/emblems. Based on the coat of arms of British Columbia (beacuse I'm from BC and I'm biased to my home province). I just removed the Royal stuff, replaced the flag of BC with the Doug flag and changed the motto "Splendor Sine Cccasu" (Splendour Without Diminishment) to "Bountiful and Free" from Lloyd Vivola's "O Cascadia - A Folk Song for the Pacific Northwest and All Our Relations".
