Canadian Proto Provinces and the Rule of Twelve
Since the Orange Man has expressed an enthusiasm for the concept of Canada as a fifty first state, however that might work out, It is appropriate to posit a superior concept able to protect sovereigny and cultures and ameliorate economic friction.
I suggrest we formulate geographic configurations known as proto provinces that include subsets of USA States and Canadian provinces. this allows a govenors and premiers council under the Rule of Twelve, if yo uwill have it able bto extablish a group consensus in terms of common ploicy. It is not meant to legistlate, but to inform and influence on common issues.
It is easy to imagine a proto province taking in our maritmes of four provinces along with several coastal states all obviously part of New England.
It is also easy to imagine upper New york et all and quebec and ottawa valley also forming up a Proto province as well. Again ample commin geographic interests.
Now imagine Ontario and a natural ring of old Northwest states bounded on the south by the Ohio and on the west by Thunderbay. This is the prime watershed of the Great lakes with a huge geogrphic footprint.
that leaves a western plains proto privince which easily includes vthe Dakotas and no obious southern boundary but incvludes much of the Missouri river.
of course BC and washington on the Salish sea is a natural geographic unit of its own while Idaho is in there somehow.
That leaves Alaska and the Yukon as anothert proto province.
Throwing history aside we have identified six clear geographic proto provinces that can benefit from establishing a common consensus on issues. Better yet ,this can empower through the rule of Twelve ,the ability to lobby both Washington and Ottawa for general support.
This is a tempered consideration that ameliorates all forms of border friction and provides a fresh road to local empwerment. Who knows? Pehaps New England can join the Canadian Health Care system
