Just about the only good thing that comes from Texas is oil and gas, beyond that I think the country would be better off without Texas in it.
Just think of all the worthless politicians that have been from that state, and I include LBJ in the group.
The left wing is the left wing whether its the US or Canada. The leftoids in Canada would like to see Alberta leave as well. They simply have no understanding what a national economic engine is.
Posts like hotairs are driven by jealousy.
I think some of you leftoids should go post on the CBC forums with the rest of the cracked pots. You'll feel right at home
Cascadia has abundant natural resources. Vast forests provide it with ample timber for both export and domestic use. Rich fish and shellfish stocks also supply valuable exports as well as powerful brain-food for its citizens. Raging rivers and vulcanism offer cheap and renewable forms of hydrodynamic and geothermal power generation. Its many harbors and protected waterways give Cascadia an edge when it comes to trans-Pacific shipping.
Its natural resources are exceeded only by its industrial resources. The Cascadian software and biotechnology industries lead the world in innovation and market-share dominance. Cascadian-produced software is on 97% of the world's computers, and that figure will continue to rise. (Although it has not yet achieved sheep-cloning technology, it is close -- watch out Scotland!) The Republic of Cascadia is a nuclear power with the ability to process weapons-grade plutonium and also advanced missile technology. Cascadia has the facilities and technical expertise to produce a wide range of fighter, support, and commercial aircraft, as well as space vehicles.
I guess you have to be a native Texan to fathom why anybody would think your state could be a self-sufficient separate nation while plagued by such a wealth of natural and man-made disasters.
I drove across the middle of your state from Shreveport to Trinidad decades ago, and it was a desolate, treeless, burned-over wasteland for so many endless miles THEN...

Cascadia could survive by clear cutting it's forests and shipping them to China....and then begging for oil from Alberta.
When the big one hits Cascadia will be the new Atlantis
If Texas tries to steal U.S. oil, then the armed forces will enforce our claim of course.
Before you do that you should know that MOST Texans are well armed...
