I like it. Once you've refined it send me an email. I'll try and find an illustrator to accompany the poem.

All provinces in British Columbia are given a ridiculous amount of political power. All of our notable political struggles (indigenous rights, Quebec Separatism, Western Separatism) are movements away from federal government towards greater regional autonomy. Vancouver, being the most populated city in BC, already enjoys many of the privileges of an independent state including oversight over health care, education, welfare, and transportation. What is still needed is that "implementing obligations arising from foreign treaties" become provincial jurisdiction rather than federal, which would give Vancouver a free hand in trade wars, negotiations, sanctions, financial restrictions, intellectual property rights, and so on. There have been many examples of de-facto states existing within larger ones, notably many of the Amerindian Bands in Canada are legally considered as such.

What is missing is a political will and consciousness to make such a thing happen, a sense of being a British Columbian or Vancouverite, rather than simply X-Canadian.

It’s prom season for Holldale High School and Tommy wants to find a date. He says to his friends, “I will ask Tiffany to the prom, she’s the prettiest girl in school. However, there’s probably gonna be a HUGE line of guys waiting to ask her. I’ll try anyways”. So he goes up to her and luckily enough there was no line of dudes waiting to ask her out. He asks her and to his surprise she says yes. So a couple weeks later they arrive at the prom. They go to get their prom picture taken. “There’s probably gonna be a huge line of kids trying to get photographed” they think. They go up and luckily there is no picture line. They are very pleased and then go to their table for the meal. “I can go dish us up” Tommy says. “However, there’s probably going to be a huge food line.” To his surprise, there wasn’t, and he dished both of them up. Then they start to get thirsty, so he offers to go get them some fruit punch. “There’s probably going to be a huge line” he thinks. However, he walks to the counter and there is no punchline.
